I know what that nagging question is that is keeping you up at night. "Who did Jeff Fox choose for his selection of NBA MVP and Rookie of the Year this season?" Well let me put your mind at ease and let you sleep at night. Here is my voting ballot for the Bloguin MVP & ROY awards that I submitted last week:
MVP
1 - LeBron James - you don't seriously need an explanation for this pick, do you?!
2 - Kevin Durant - his ascension has been breathtaking this year - he truly is among the League's elite now.
3 - Kobe Bryant - just quietly went about and did his business this year. Now that the playoffs are here he's primed to really make some noise.
4 - Dwight Howard - still has Orlando in the title hunt despite the train wreck that Vince Carter has been this year.
5 - Dwyane Wade - if this was his swan song in South Beach, he left with a bang.
6 - Deron Williams - has snatched the title of "Best Point Guard in the League" out of Chris Paul's hands once again.
7 - Steve Nash - 36-years-old yet he led the NBA in assists and free throw %.
8 - Dirk Nowitzki - the perennial MVP candidate had another typical Dirk year.
9 - Carmelo Anthony - would be higher on this list if he hadn't missed so many games this year.
10 - Carlos Boozer - who would have thought heading into this season that his name would appear on this list at year's end (plus that he would still be a member of the Jazz)?
ROY
1 - Tyreke Evans - made the early talk of Brandon Jennings running away with the ROY award seem just silly now.
2 - Stephen Curry - just got better and better as the season progressed - now if he could only play on a real team with a real coach.
3 - Brandon Jennings - he cooled down considerably after his blazing start, but he still led the Bucks to the playoffs as a rookie
4 - Darren Collison - played so well this season that the unthinkable could happen - Chris Paul could get shipped out of town.
5 - Jonny Flynn - maybe the Wolves won't have to pick a point guard in this year's lottery.
