MVP
LeBron James- The main
catalyst of Miami’s otherworldly 27-game win streak, James should earn his fourth NBA
most valuable player award. James led the Heat to their best record in
franchise history as Miami finished with the best overall record in the league.
If his roughly 27 points per game were not enough to convince voters, then
maybe his extraordinary feat of becoming the first player in league history to
score 30 points and shoot 60 percent in six straight games will do the trick.
Defensive Player of the
Year
Avery Bradley- The Boston
Celtics' defense did not miss a beat, despite Rajon Rondo tearing his ACL,
because of the defensive prowess of Bradley.
Bradley is by far the best on-ball defender in the NBA, wrecking havoc
on every point guard in the league he goes up against. His impressive 1.2
steals per game also furthers his case for the league's best defender.
Rookie of the Year

Damian Lillard- Portland's electrifying guard will likely get the unanimous vote
for Rookie of the Year. Lillard helped a Blazers team that was expected to be
horrific contend in the Western Conference for much of the season. He averaged over 19 points per game and has
been stellar from behind the arc, knocking down the fifth most three pointers
in the league.
Sixth Man of the Year
J.R. Smith- While Carmelo
Anthony may be the Knicks' go-to scorer, Smith can certainly fill that void
when his name is called. He averages a league best 17.8 points per game off the
bench and nailed two game-winning buzzer-beaters.
Runner-Up: Jamaal
Crawford- Crawford has had a sensational season, averaging 16.7 points per
game, helping the Los Angeles Clippers win the Pacific Division.
Most Improved Player
Paul George- George has emerged as the
Pacers best player with Danny Granger sidelined for most of the season. George
made the Eastern Conference All-Star team and rightfully so, given his per-game averages of 17.5
points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists.
I Agree with all your picks except Coach of the year and Most Improved player. For Most Improved I'd give it to Kemba Walker and Coach of the year Lionel Hollins.
