Lebron James Wins NBA's MVP award

With all the speculation of which player was most deserving of the MVP award this year, Lebron James received it easily, based on the voting. James received 109 out of a possible 121 1st place votes, beating out Dwayne Wade and Kobe Bryant. I agree with some of the commentary that there should be a separate best Offensive Player award as they have a best Defensive Player award. Dwayne Wade carried, or should I say dragged his team to the first round of the players single-handedly. He was the top scorer in the league also. He should of at least had an Offensive Player of the year award, because what he did this season was crazy. But you can't knock the Lebron James pick for MVP. He deserved it outright.

Hawks move on to next round

The Atlanta Hawks have beaten Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA playoffs in 7 games. This is the first time the Hawks have moved on to the second round since 1999. The Hawks are both happy and grateful. They mostly kept the team together, only adding a few players and withstood the years of struggle to finally have something to be proud about. Head Coach Mike Woodson told management when he first got the job in Atlanta that he he need 4 years to truly turn this team around on the right track, and he was correct. The celebration must come to a sudden hault because they are going to be facing "The Beast" Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. People are already writing them off for a sweep in a 4 games, so the Hawks have much to prove and should play with a chip on their shoulder, as they did last year in the first round against the Boston Celtics.
