I think it will be between Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, or Lebron James (unless any of these guys are under contract by the other games).

This guy

# 7 Kully @ 06/04/08 02:57 PM

Brandon Roy.

# 8 Stumbleweed @ 06/04/08 03:09 PM

Roy was actually my guess in the contest that they had... I think he'll get it because he's on THE up-and-coming team in the league (with Oden presumably back), he's personable, and he's kind of a low-tier superstar like Chris Paul was last year. They wanted to choose someone who isn't one of the "faces" of the NBA and it really paid off because Paul turned into one of those guys before our eyes this season.

But yeah, Roy has a great all-around game that is fun to watch and he will probably make another jump in production this year if he stays healthy. As a Nuggets fan, I'm scared of not making the playoffs due to these guys... that core of Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Oden is downright scary.. add Outlaw, Webster, and whoever they undoubtedly pick up this summer with all that cap room and I'm officially on notice.

# 11 Stumbleweed @ 06/04/08 04:30 PM

Uhh, he's already endorsing NBA Ballas or whatever... it won't be Dwight, Kobe, Amare (I think he's still with Sony), or Gil (assuming he's still with EA).
