From the Simmons Article:
1. LeBron James ... Over/Under 3.5 MVPs in his career
2. Kobe Bryant ... Over/Under 4.5 career NBA titles
3. Dwyane Wade ... Over/Under 1000 games including playoffs (currently at 445)
4. Chris Paul ... Over/Under 1.5 NBA titles + MVP awards
5. Carmelo Anthony ... Over/Under 1.5 scoring titles
6. Greg Oden ... Over/Under 2.5 All-Star Games
7. Derrick Rose ... Over/Under 6.5 All-Star Games
8. Current NBA players as first-ballot Hall of Famers ... 9.5
9. Shaquille O'Neal ... Over/Under 3.5 more seasons
10. Dwight Howard ... Over/Under 0.5 MVPs
My takes:
1) Over... LB23 finishes with 5 MVPs
2) Over... I'm biased. Have to get it done this year. If not, can still do it if Bynum regains his early season form. Kobe needs more help and a tougher team.
3) Under... DWade's body will break down again.
4) Under... CP58 may get an MVP, but is not winning a title.
5) Under... I say Melo gets 1 scoring title. Lebron or Durant will get the rest.
6) Under... Dude will be out of the league in 5 years. Imagine Durant on Portland. Scary!!!
7) Over... DRose will be the best PG in the league in 3 years... then Rubio takes that from him.
8) Over... Kobe, Lebron, AI, Dirk, Shaq, Nash, Yao, Kidd, KG are locks... I think Dwight, Melo, and Durant get there too. Iffy on CP58, Wade, Rose, Jesus, Pierce, etc.
9) Under... I think Shaq plays one more season. Maybe 2.
10) Over... I think Dwight puts together a 25/15 with 4 blocks season, wins MVP and DPOY.

1. Over - LeBron James wins the next 4.
ReplyDelete2. Under - This year is it WHEN we get these last 6 wins. GO LAKERS!
3. Under - Penny Hardaway v 2.0
4. Under - He won't get 2 titles, It's a 50/50 shot he gets 2 MVPs.
5. Over - Kind agree wtih Bill, he can score so easily I can see him pulling this off.
6. Under, Ace is tripping to say dude's out of the league in 5 years. He's at least a 10 year vet.
7. Under - Rubio goes to the Wizards. Between him and Rondo, they keep him @ 6.
8. Under - Kobe, Lebron, Shaq, Duncan, Nash, Yao, Kidd are locks as 1st ballot. Just remember, Dominque made it in his 3rd year.
9. Under - he's done after his current contract.
10. Over - He gets 1.
1. Over - Don't have to be clutch in the regular season
ReplyDelete2. Under - I say he gets 4, wouldn't be surprised if he did it though

4. Under - CP58 isn't winning 2 titles and MVPs
5. Under - Surprised this is asked
6. Over - He's a big man with personality, not that many in the league
