Our MVP & ROY Ballots
We were honored to be included among the voters for Blogger MVP and ROY. Sactown Royalty will have the final rankings next week. We’ll let you know when they are up. This is what Stormin Norman and I came up with.
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
1. LeBron James Led his team to best home record, best overall record; staggering numbers
2. Dwyane Wade The numbers he put up with that team almost made him the choice over LeBron
3. Kobe Bryant Led his team to the best record in the toughest conference, and best road record in the league
4. Chris Paul Is there anyone more fun to watch in the league?
5. Dwight Howard Can you believe he’s just 23?
6. Paul Pierce Went to work without KG
7. Brandon Roy
8. Derrick Rose Bulls would have won around 20 games without him
9. Tony Parker
10. Carmelo Anthony
Hit the jump for our ROY picks…
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR
1. Derrick Rose Gets to the basket at will; future MVP candidate
2. Brook Lopez
3. OJ Mayo
4. Russell Westbrook
5. Marc Gasol
Stormin actually had DWade as his overall MVP and had Beasley as his #5 for ROY. Tell us what you think of our ballots, and let us know about your picks too.
Pretty solid picks. In my mind, there’s not a whole lot to gain by splitting hairs over all of their fantastic seasons, but LeBon’s numbers and his team’s record relative to his supporting cast are just too staggering to ignore.
And glad to see Brook Lopez get some love on your list, I had him just behind Westbrook and Rose.
