Damian Lillard in a runawayThe more interesting question is Rookie of the Year. Interested in who everyone thinks is going to take that. Thoughts?

Damian Lillard in a runaway
I think Lillard probably takes ROTY, but I still think Davis ends up as the best pro in the class.
Lebron touches the ball on 72% of MIA possessions. Melo 70.4%... that disheartens me a bit, because why the hell can King James shoot 10 percent higher from the floor AND average so many more assists? If someone can convince Melo to pass more...the Knicks will get to that final stage.
Melo still is a gunner at heart...just a better shooter now.
On a Per48 it's Andre Drummond and its not even close.
DL has played twice the minutes, so that has to account for something. But check out Drummond's #'s. They're incredible.
And just for fun I compared them on nbageek and it's crazy. If Drummond keeps up the production (which who knows) and ups his minutes...way better than a lot here thought he was going to be.
Full disclosure...I was shocked when I read this about Drummond. Not like I found it myself.

Oh yeah, Drummond has been amazing, but A) he hasn't played a ton of minutes, and B) he's out for the next month.
I think he's got one of the best age 19 PER seasons of all time or something.

Kobe has missed more field goal attempts than anybody else in NBA history...ANYBODY!Just heard a crazy stat...blowing up on twitter.
Since he came in the league..Lebron has scored 86 more points than Kobe Bryant on 525 fewer shots.
So much for Kobe being a better "scorer" than Lebron. That stat is nuts.
LeBron is on one of the greatest runs in the history of sports right now.
Maybe college basketball has more buzzer beaters, but the NBA is so far and away a better brand of basketball, it's not even close.
You just said "keep it real" and "word" in one set of parenthesis. Just pointing this out, for science.The only thing that matters to posters who don't know basketball is how many points their player scores.
Any questions?
(To keep it real, LBJ is the MVP - word)
Lebron has been given great gifts...but, wouldn't you say the same of Karl Malone and many other guys who are blessed with great physical attributes? Why couldn't he handle the ball like Lebron and go out and flirt with a triple double every night and shoot 42% from three?
Have to give Lebron some credit for crafting his game. His true shooting percentage on jumpers this year is ridiculous.
