As the race for MVP continues there are a few key players to keep your eye on.

Each player has their strengths and weakness but as the title for MVP gets closer it should be interesting to see who comes out on top.

Orlando Will Win NBA Title Next Season!

2009-08-04T12:00:00.001-07:00

Let's just set the record straight. I don't care about Kobe or Lebron next season, it's going to be all Magic. When you line up Dwight "Superman" Howard, Rashard Lewis, and Vince Carter on the same team, you may as well just hand them the title. Nothing against Lebron, Clevland will go far this season I'm sure, but Shaq is just trying anything he can to squeeze one more title out of the league before he retires within the next few years. I'm willing to state for the record right now that Orlandois taking it down next season. Period.
