The NBA season is here, the Yankees are in the World Series, the NFL is on and poppin’, I doubt there is a better week in sports. Since its upon us, I would like to make some predictions, give you some of my favorite ballers, and just give you some flavor for the week.

HNITH

-(My) Favorite Ballers that You Can’t Hate on this Year:

JR Smith, Lebron James, Dwade, Melo, CP3, Tyreke Evans, Mr. Duncan, KG, Nate Rob, D. Lee, Pau Gasol, KD, Vince Carter, Turk, BRoy, Shaq, Joe Johnson

-Rookie of the Year – Tyreke Evans (Kings), Blakey G. breaks his kneecap in last preseason game, SMH, hope he gets back soon.

-6^th Man- JR Smith

-Breakout Season – Kevin Durant (Thunder), the kid can score and is a straight nightmare for defenders, coming in 2^nd has to be Rondo cause dude is straight tenacious.

-I look forward to seeing the progression of…

Wilson Chandler, Mike Beasley, D Rose, Jeff Green, Dwight Howard, Melo, OJ Mayo, Monta Ellis, Rondo, Eric Gordon

-Players you can hate on this year:

Kobe(off court), Steve Nash, Marvin Williams, Big Baby, Stephen Jackson, Steph Curry, Galonari

-Eastern Conference Champion

Boston Celtics, don’t look now, but the Celts got a squad that’s straight tuff down low (pause). With that in mind, I don’t anyone can take a combo DL as good as KG, Perkins, Sheed, and Big Baby. Add a Pierce, add Ray, add the improving Rondo, you never know. Check back with me at the 1/4 mark of season.

-Western Conference Champion

Lakers, easy choice here. I doubt Bynum lasting to the finals. They just might win without him, again.

-Assists – Chris Paul, Deron Williams (toss up)

-MVP –LBJ

-Leading Scorer- Dwade

NBA Champ? (toss up!)
