2013-2014 NBA MVP **official prediction thread**

[TheMarkMadsen]

Give your # 1 candidate followed by at least 3 others including one dark horse.

My 2013-2014 MVP prediction:

2013-2014 MVP = Derrick Rose.

Reason: Last time this guy was healthy for a full year he was MVP, one of if not the most exciting player in the game today who will have all on eyes on him especially to start the season. If he can come back as good or better than before play at least 70 games & lead the Bulls to a 1st or 2nd seed the award is his. IMO it's his to lose as he really hasn't had a chance to defend his MVP crown as of yet. The story can write itself.

Next 2 candidates.. Lebron James- Best player on the best team. However with D rose's return & many other superstars fighting for 1st & 2nd seeds with far less talent than Lebron has around him I think it'll be hard for Bron to get the 2014 MVP. Unless of course they have a 27 game win streak and lose 16 games. I see D Wade re emerging as a bigger part of the offense to so that could hinder Lebrons chances.

Kevin Durant- last year was supposed to be his year, however that just didnt happen. If he continues to improve his overall game and leads OKC to a 1st seed, it could easily be Durant.

Dark hoarse: Carmelo Anthony. Was a MVP candidate for most of the year last year thanks in large part to the Knicks/Melos hot start. If he can end the season the way he began it last year, Melo could be your 2014 MVP. His defense and overall impact will have to show up in his teams W & L column.


So there are my picks.

Who you got?

[Fresh Kid]

Carmelo Anthony.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Carmelo Anthony.

My only concern is if Melo can sustain his MVP level play over an 82 game season

[L3B120N J4M35]

Stephen Curry or Chris Paul. Bookmark this post! one of the two will get it.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Rose getting two MVPs would be a travesty. I'll go with Durant as my top pick and Lebron as the second.

[Eric Cartman]

Lebron James.

[TheReal Kendall]

Carmelo Anthony

[Young X]

CP3

[DaSeba5]

LeBron or Durant

[aj1987]

Either Durant or Lebron. I don't see anyone else winning it over these two.

[Fudge]

Durant
LeBron
Rose

One of those 3

[KrizMiz]

Lamar Odom!

[LosBulls]

Melo.

Rose will do good but he won't be in peak shape until next season.

Melo is going to get his and I know hes getting tired of being the underdog. New York is his and hes going to prove that.

LeBron is going to win it unless the Thunder win something like 65 games...

Also, Dwight Howard is the only other player apart from KD and LB, Rose is very good, but he's not going to win over prime LeBron and KD..
