* This is a repost of my Blog from last year in Tribute to Kobe on the 1 Year Anniversary of his tragic passing. It has been 2 weeks since Kobe Bryant has passed away and it still doesn't feel real. He might be the last person on this entire planet that anyone could imagine would leave us so early and so suddenly. He was a superhero and superheros are not suppose to die. He was the King of LA, the greatest franchise in all of basketball and home to more stars and celebrities than anywhere in the world. Well here is my In Depth Blog to pay tribute to some of Kobe's greatest accomplishments on the court and some...
Now that every team has played at least 41 games, it's time to go through the Awards Winners and All Star Predictions at the half way point in the Season. Most Valuable Player (MVP) 1. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks) 30 ppg, 12.8 rpg, 5.5 apg, 1.1 spg, 1. bpg FG 55.3%, FT 61.5%, 3P 32.5 % (1.7 3PM), P.E.R 33.47 Freaky. That's all you can really say about Giannis...30 points a game in just 30 minutes. Almost 13 rebounds and 5.5 assists.

Now that the regular season has finished, it's time to look at my predictions for all the awards and NBA Teams. I will look at the Top 10 candidates in order for the MVP award and the Top 5 candidates for all of the other awards. Most Valuable Player 1. Giannis Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks (60-22) (GP 72) 27.7 Pts, 12.5 Reb, 5.9 Ast, 1.3 Stl, 1.5 Blk 58% FG, 73% FT , 26% 3P (0.7 3PM), PER 30.95 Unstoppable offensively and dominant defensively, the Greek Freak lead the Bucks to the best record in the league and should be rewarded with the MVP. My last blog here went into detail on why Giannis Antetokounmpo should win his 1st...
Fear the Beard or Fear the Deer? Who's gonna win the MVP? I have been flip flopping back and forth for the past couple months... It has to be Giannis. But wait Harden just had back to back 50 point games!.. It has to be Giannis. But wait Harden just had 60 points and 30 games in a row with 30!.. It has to be Giannis. But wait Harden just had a 50 point triple double and is leading a team full of scrubs to a winning streak in the West! This is what has gone through my head in this incredible race, maybe the best MVP race of all time. Both players are completely unguardable and unstoppable one...
