Will the Bulls win the championship and Kirk Hinrich win NBA Finals MVP?

If they do win the championship, I think Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich, or Ben Wallace win NBA Finals MVP.

Maybe Andres Nocioni might.

Will the Bulls win the championship and Kirk Hinrich win NBA Finals MVP?nba finals

Not this year but they are definitely solidifying their spot as championship contenders and will soon be in every talk about the NBA championship. Give them a couple years and then they will be in the mix once all the young guys get more NBA experience.

Will the Bulls win the championship and Kirk Hinrich win NBA Finals MVP?college football ,nba teams

No, they will not. You do not even hear the Bull players mentioning it; the higher I heard is the conference finals. They are experience and a scoring-inside threat (a center) away from the finals though.
ARE U SMOKING?
They will not win the NBA championship.

They don't have a post presence to open up perimeter shooting. Instead, their strategy is to screen and shoot, slash and shoot and hope for fast breaks. Notice the key work id perimeter shooting. They're banking on the fact that they have several above average perimeter players and hope that one gets really hot consistently. If not, Ben Gordon is there to clean up. But if he can't clean up then they're usually in trouble.

The other key is the Bulls defense. They have to keep play off caliber teams under 100 points minimum. I don't think they'll be able to do this under a Detroit or in the Finals: Dallas, San Antonio or a Phoenix team.

Post play is the achilles' heel for this team and will keep them from reaching the Finals. Another weakness might be depth at the 5 spot. It is actually easy to get Ben Wallace into foul trouble and if you do, the paint gets fairly wide open. PJ Brown is not as strong and quick as he used to be.
hahahaha...i didn't have laugh like that long time... NO WAAAAYYY...
Is this a trick question? You are jumping way ahead of yourself they are not even going to beat the heat the defending champs. They win one game in a best of seven all of a sudden everyone is yelling championship. You saw what happen last year to the Dallas Mavs. They went up two games and all of a sudden they were printing shirts for them being champs. C'mon now everyone thinks that shaq is too old. He is getting old but he can still hold his own. Wade still has not got into rhythm yet and tonight just might be the time he decides to turn it on. So stop yelling that they are going to the Finals when they have not even got pass the Heat which I know they are not.
no nj nets will with vince carter winning mvp

suck on that
NO WAY!Even if they get past the 1st and 2nd round they will definately lose to the Pistons in the 3rd round.
Boy that would be a dream come true for me, even though I'm not a huge fan of the Bulls, I am a huge fan of Hinrich. The most unselfish player in the east along with Kidd. Hinrich can defend anyone you throw at him, can hit the threes and is almost automatic at the charity stripe, and is an extremely unselfish pass first guard. Bottom line is I would love it to happen but let's wait untill we get to the conference finals or NBA Finals to make big predictions.
Nop Sorry, if any team is going to win the Finals it's the Dallas Mavericks or Detroit Pistons "And that's the bottom line... cuz Stone Cold said so''
I understand that you are a chicago fan and you wish they would win, but come on wake up they are NOT going to win this year or next year maybe in 2 years.
I'm a bulls fan but i don't think we don't quite have enough yet to win a championship. We might tho, if we play top notch defense and move the ball well. It just pains me when Ben Gordon tries to outdribble and get into the paint for a layup. That's how we lost to Cleveland...........

But unless Hinrich average about 20 pts and 10 assist a game and shut down opposing guards my MVP vote would go to Luol Deng. Deng is truly indespensable to this team b/c he is our most consistent scorer and pretty much our only option to scoring in the paint.
Not a chance. The Suns will win the championship and Nash will win Finals MVP.
sure will
They are not going that far. I would give it like two more years and then bring this question back up..they are just not ready yet but in time they will be one of the best
I think the Bulls can really pull it off if they play their style of game and if they play smart. As far as Kirk winning the honors.... doubt it!! My guess would be either Deng or Gordon.
ha! ha! ha! what?? the bulls? no chance, sunshine!! try the suns, dallas, or the spurs, fool! no one in east has a shot!!!!
don't think too far ahead they have pistons second round!
Hey your thinking like ME!! But lets change the names. How about championship caliber teams? Say the Suns, Mavs, Pistons, Spurs? Sorry but the bulls are not ready yet.
No, to both questions.
No, the Bulls will most likely go down to Detroit in 6. When was the last time any Kansas alumni did anything in the NBA Finals, Deng and Wallace are the true anchors for the Bulls, although they are talented, talent alone wont teach you how to win a good coach and experience usually does that for a team. More experience also leads to team cohesion which is vital for a Championship team.

Racism and the NBA MVP?

I think that Kobe Bryant is a great player, and will eventually win an MVP. That being said, however, do you think that some sort of reverse racism plays a factor in alot of people's pushing for Kobe to get the MVP over Nash or Dirk....Two white guys in a predominately black sport? I realize that there are a lot of factors involved in choosing an MVP. I was just curious to see if you thought that this may be one of them.

Racism and the NBA MVP?nba mvp

NO I do not belive to be one of them. I think that Nash %26amp; Dirk are simply better players and each one deserves the MVP award more than Kobe.

Now before you get mad... I agree with most people and will say that Kobe is an amazing athelete. In his years in the NBA he has shown to be a great athletic ability. With that being said... I believe it takes more than athletic ability to earn MVP. You need to be a team player and Kobe lacks that quality. He takes over the game and yes he scores and scores but when he loses his Hot streak he becomes useless to the team. Sometimes he just loses it gets cold %26amp; then he is just out there shooting and missing instead of getting assists. Before he can be awarded MVP he needs to work on being a team player.

NASH %26amp; DIRK ARE TEAM PLAYERS. They are simply the best at what they do. %26amp; to the guy up there who said Bird was the last white guy to win it... hello Nash won it the last two years in a row... %26amp; it was because he deserved it.

Racism and the NBA MVP?nba trades ,nba teams

racism has nothing to do with it. nash and dirk had spectacular seasons leading their teams to the 2 best records in the nba this season. while kobe is a hell of an player and canscore any type of way but he doesnt have the players around him to translate that into wins.
I don't think that Nash deserved MVP the last 2 years and I don't think that he deserves it this year but I don't think race had anything to do with it!
The last 2 seasons have been racist! Nash doesn't or never deserved a mvp award. I've seen people win mvp awards without having the best team. In 88 MJ won mvp and his team wasn't in the top 5.

p.s. It shouldn't be about the best team because that's what championships are for. It should be about who's playing the best basketball on a individual basis. Because mvp is a individual award %26amp; not a team award.
I don't think racism is the case. Kobe is way more popular to the fact that he is very entertaining considering the feat he has achieved.
i don't think racism has anything to do with it, i think the talent takes part
One factor of MVP is making your teammates better. Kobe doesn't come close to that. Also, word is people don't like to play with him either.
HECK NO! Are you kidding? Those "white guys" are better than Kobe.
racism has nothing to do with it the league is run by a bunch of white guys even though the blacks are the stars power is in the front office not on the court
The issue of racism wouldn't even be raised if a black player was awarded the prestigious honor.
It's widely known that Kobe is the best player in the NBA right now but the MVP unfortunately does not mean the best player. They select MVP as the best player on a good team. Kobe's team is not really good enough to qualify. Steve Nash is the most important player on the Suns. Dirk is the most important player on the Mavs. Larry Bird was the last white dude to win the MVP so it's been a while. I don't see race as a factor. I think the bigger issue is that MVP is meaningless.

hasn't a black player been the mvp for the larger part of the last 20 years and no one ever said it was racism? All those years those players deserved it. I think the NBA does a good job of naming the MVP, but it usually is going to go to one of the better teams. The last white guy to get MVP honors in playoffs or regular season before Nash was Larry Bird in the mid 80's. so umm yeah... not racism at all.
no your wrong. Kobe don't get it cuz he's always outbeat when his team does good.

Dirk and Nash have a good team. Kobe's team bareley made it in
probably, but I think dirk is still a good player.
There is NO rasism in the NBA MVP Voting. Here are some numbers to back it up. So what if Steve Nash has won the past 2 and Dirk is probably going to get it this year. Before Nash won his first there where 17 STRAIGHT African-American MVP's.

You didn't recall if he won an MVP? If you thought you knew basketball you better check yourself because he is one of the only 3 players ever to win it 3 times in a row (Chamberlain and Russell both also won 3 in a row).
If you really think about it , Dirk an Nash have all-star teams. Kobe i know deserves it more than others, beginning of the season he didn't have the scoring title but when no one steps up they are not going to win. Nash is a good player but i don't think he should win it, i will give you a million reasons why. They are all true to. Kobe deserves it hands down he is the one who got them to the playoffs and more. When no one else scores he has to score if he doesn't they will lose everygame, people are haters just because he scores alot, they don't know they will never now, its not a one man team if it was then he would just be on the court, i dare people to challenge me on this, he is the best player in the nba today, hands down no question he should win the mvp if he doesn't something is really wrong.
i don't think so. I think Kobe quite honestly deserves MVP more than Nash and Nowitzki. If you compare their teams, then Kobe is on the worse team and he still made the playoffs. I really hope he wins MVP.
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are coming to get you now. You better lock your door.
no ddude there is no racism in the choosing of the mvp. mvp stands for most valuable player. the real arguement im tryin to settle is does the mvp signalize whoe filled up that stat sheet the best or who was most important to his team. neither of which kobe has done. kobe scoring is the only thing over 6. he definately doesn make his team better with the number of shots he takes and the few dishes he makes. for such a great player that ppl make him out to be, hes more lik a larry bird. shoot first and dont do anything else. jus keep shooting till u win a championship. i really dont think larry won an mvp check me on that. but kobe dont deserve it lik nash and dirk do.

NBA MVP for 06-07 Season.?

Who Do You Think Should Be MVP? I Think LeBron James

NBA MVP for 06-07 Season.?nba score

Dirk Nowitzki, best player on the best team. He is out for blood this year, and will stop at nothing to get that ring.

NBA MVP for 06-07 Season.?jerseys ,nba teams

I think D-Wade. After his injury, the HEAT have been unstoppable because of his GREAT play!
anyone but Dirk.... he's a Nazi from Germany.....

i wish Lebron would get it..... GO CAVS!
My favorite basketball player is Steve Nash. and i think he should get it just look at his stats... but in the other hand there is dirk he is one of the best players in the Best team so maybe he shoudl get it. I would personally love that Steve Nash would get MVP for the 3rd time.=]
DIRK DIRK DIRK...nash is outplayed...if he gets a 3rd..i will stop caring for the nba...
NASH
Dwight Howard
KOBE BRYANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
as much as he deserves it, nash wont get a 3rd mvp, and kobe is too inconsistant to get it. if youre going for the true, most valuable player (rather than best player, which it has been going to in all sports lately, big difference) it has to go to kobe. if its best player, then logically its the best player on the best team, which gives it to dirk.
stevie
personally i would have loved to make the argument for dwayne wade but his injury was jus a big road block in his season. now based only on statistics it should be steve nash. shooting over 90% from the free throw line, leading the league in assists, and scoring close to 20 points a game. he has truly proved himself as a lethal weopon. based on leadership and a remarkable season dirk nowitzki. shooting the best numbers in his life and jus leading his team to first spot not jus in the western conference but in the nba overall it should be awarded to him.
i would want kobe bryant but there has never been a mvp with a team his team only 41-40 record so dirk i think will win it because how he has been playing and how his teamates follow
LeBron is good but look @ Nash's stats.18.8 ppg,11.5 apg,and 3.3 rpg,wich is great for a PG.So Nash.

NBA MVP votes - who decides?

Exactly who decides who becomes MVP, is is the fans ?

NBA MVP votes - who decides?nba live

It's determined by a hand-picked panel of sportswriters.

The fans do NOT have input, except by way of public opinion and any influence that may have on an individual writer or broadcaster.

Here's a link that explains it well...

NBA MVP votes - who decides?tv on pc ,nba teams

The fans don't decides who become MVP just like the fans has no say on who should be elected into any Hall Of Fame...

Usually its the coaches and sportswriter..

For the The NBA MVP its the sport writers not just any..most of whom has played the game or coach it.
Choose her as a best, even I didn't know about that. You deserve ten ( Terri Yak )

NBA MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i!!!!!!!!!!!!...

who do you guys think the best nba player is right now?

NBA MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i!!!!!!!!!!!!...nba history

The best player in the NBA will not be given the MVP thanks to stupid media

Kobe is the best player in the game but he'll never win the MVP because of all the hate for him out there in the media

NBA MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i!!!!!!!!!!!!...nba trade ,nba teams

i most def agree with PJ that the best player is kobe and he wont get it because this whole think about him and the trade claus.
well its hard to determine right now that the season just started for right now im goin with lebron james. Now i say Lebron because he is defiently overdue but he is showing so far this year or at least 2 games THAT IS IS mvp LIKE. Kobe in my opinion is overated thats just my look
Kobe Bryant is the MVP and has been for years. Everybodys just so blind to the fact that hes the best after KING JORDAN. I think everybody puts his personal matters in account for his image as a player, and even as a fan of Kobe I have to question some of his actions. As for on the court nobody compares. He plays both ends of the court with dominance. He'll embarrass the biggest of big men and tell them to GET OUTTA HERE!!! With Authority!! KOBEZ#1 WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!
Well, Kobe should have won it last year, but the fact that the Lakers as a team were in the 7th seed last season, it was rightfully given to Dirk.

This year, though, with all the support he's getting from EVERYONE on the Lakers' roster, they'll be at least in the 4th seed. Kobe's year for sure.

If not Kobe this year, then most definitely Garnett or Duncan.
kevin garnett
Lebron James. He is so freakin overdue.
Lebron James no doubt about it.
So far... Kevin Garnett. He is pretty much anchoring the only undefeated team. But of course he has help, but the offense goes through him first
Tim Duncan no doubt
How can you say Kobe Bryant is the best in the league? Let Duncan Nash or Dirk take the amount of shots Kobe does and they will prob avg 40 pts a game. Kobe is a shoot first pass errr take that back shoot 2nd and 3rd then pass. KG will get the MVP this season as long as the Celtics continue this tear their on.
kevin martin.. look at his points men...
Steve Nash
Kevin Garnet

No Question!
Carmello is lookin good. Also Steve Nash is pretty good too. Im not sure.
Some contenders are Steve Nash, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan (Though I don't like to admit it), list goes on and on (Nash is my choice but that is 'cause I am a Suns fan)

Kobe Bryant is a contender but his off the court actions and on the court actions sometimes take away from him. He has show-off days when he scores and scores and scores... Anyways, MVP means Most Valuable Player and Kobe Bryant is not the most valuable (he is up there with salary though ;-))because a valuable player doesn't diss his teammates whether he likes them or not. Makes his teammates look good as well as himself. Can help his team overcome hard situations if needed. ETC.
i dunno, but go warriors!!!!!!

NBA MVP CONSIDERATIOns?

How come Lebron james is getting mvp consideratins.Why not Allen Iverson. The nuggets have a better record.

NBA MVP CONSIDERATIOns?nba draft

i just asked myself the same question, why is that bum being considered when there's so many other people deserving of the attention

NBA MVP CONSIDERATIOns?ncaa ,nba teams

its going to be Al Thorton cuz Clippers r #1
I vote-

Carmelo Anthony

Allen Iverson

Marcus Camby

Kenyon Martin

JR Smith

GO NUGGS! coolest mascot in all sports!!
because he is a crowd favorite.
They're good but the real MVP is Kobe Bryant
because he hekps the team more and isnt a ball hog
AI is nasty and deserves MVP!
LEBRON
Iverson has Melo, Camby, JR Smith and Martin backing him James doesnt have much and he can single handenly beat any team.
LeBron James is the King of the NBA. Allen Iversons days are passed, but the MVP should go to Chris Paul. He is unstoppable, next John Stockton (except black) and he single handedly brought back the New Orleans Hornets Franchise where it diserves to be.
well if u really seee that the nba has great players but they dont step up the one who really step up are kobe #1 , lebron #2 , and chris pual number #3 but the best one of my choice is kobe bryant they will get thier player's back and blow offf the stage in tha playofffs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
they are both great players but this years mvp is KB24
Because LeBron IS his team. Without him, they win twenty games tops. Allen Iverson has another legitimate allstar on his team who can shoulder the load if he has an off night. LeBron has no such player. LeBron has to perform at an godlike level every night to pull out the win. AI's already won MVP anyway, and his stats aren't as good as LeBron's.
KOBE...no questions asked.
Because Lebron is the NBA's Golden Child. he will more then likely end up 3rd in MVP voting because of hype.

NBA MVP 2007: what do you think?

Who do you think should be the MVP this season and why? I think that Dirk should not win because he is just not the most valuable player in the league not even in his team.

NBA MVP 2007: what do you think?nba records

Nash

/again!

NBA MVP 2007: what do you think?nba championships ,nba teams

Mike Stimatze.

Best damn ball player in the game today.
Everyone on here can be so ignorant. Yes the mvp voting ended before the playoffs began duh its for the regular season that still doesnt mean crap. he crumbled during the last 1/4 of the season anyways. he blew it for himself. even if dirk won in votes b4 playoffs started doesnt mean hes going to get it. theyre not going to present him the trophy in germany okay fellas. thyings are very easily switched around. david stern is not going to be an idiot and present it to dirk. it would hurt the game of basketball. nash wins
Every ounce of me wants to say Dirk for MVP but after our little meltdown I would just as muck like Nash to take it again. He really glues the Suns together, you can tell when he's not playing.
You all are smoking crack.

Kobe is the best and most valuable.

RJ
I think that the Detroit Pistons will be the 2007 NBA Champions; and Chauncey Billups will be the MVP of the NBA Finals!!!!!!!!
I'd go with Nash!
Im all for Lebron James, but Nash has been doing his thing..
It'll probably be Dirk because voting was over by the time playoffs was over. But after seeing the playoffs, guess it should rightfully be Duncan or Nash
Irrespective of what has transpired in the playoffs, this award relates to the regular season only so playoff performances shouldn't be held up in favor or against anybody.

I think it still comes down to the Nash, Nowitski, Bryant debate. See my question I asked on this before the playoffs started. There is good discussion on this there. The answerer I picked as best persuaded me that it should be Nash.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
ABSOLUTELY NOT DIRK NOWITZKI.

What a pansy he is. And the other candidate - Steve Nash? Didn't he just bust his nose open, and try about 15 times to re-enter the game, but kept having to leave because the bleeding just would not stop?

Hmmmmm..... who sounds more like an MVP?
whom to your question about NBA and MVP

well i dont no because a lot of people talk bout and all i could say is that NBA is basketball and MVP is the best player or something like that

%26amp;hearts:%26amp;hearts:stacey%26amp;hearts:%26amp;hearts:
Nash.
kobe kobe kobe
Steve Nash should win the MVP,again :)

Dirk disappeared in the playoffs,I like the guy I picked them going to the finals again this year.But he shrank in the playoffs,gimme a break the Warriors.

Nash,hands down MVP
For the 5000th freakin time this question has been asked...MVP voting is based on regular season perfromance, so the abvious choice is Dirk.
kobe this year %26amp; last year. 50 plus points n 10 games. most feared player today, versatile, plays offense %26amp; defense. 81 points. do i need 2 go on. he just hav a sorry team around him but they still makes it 2 the playoffs. please don't giv it 2 Dirk. he's a one dimensional player. a 7 ft jump shooter. who makes European players their #1 option. Josh Howard is the best all around player on the Mavs. and not Nash again. he's good but not MVP good. they would make the playoffs with out him. the Mavs did it with out him. Nash just hav a lot of talent around him 2 make him look better than he actually is. I would put him n the same catorgory as Billups. and does anybody remember that game against the Nets last year when Kidd shut Nash down with 0 points. what player scores 0 points %26amp; still win the MVP award. give me a break.
MVP this season front-runners.

Steve Nash

Kobe Bryant

Tim Duncan

Dirk Nowinski

You're statement about Dirk with regards to the league could be argued, however you are clearly wrong with regards to his team. He is clearly the best player on the Mavericks team. You can't base your arguments on one round of the playoffs (7 games). In fact the MVP has nothing to do with the playoffs, it's the MVP of the regular season. And get this the Mavericks had the best record in the league, usually the top team or at least in the top echileon will have the MVP. (very few exceptions and one of the things stopping Kobe from getting it)
steve nash! no questions asked. he's a definite team player and puts up numbers. the boy can ball!
cant be Dirk. He played in the playoffs and his team did not win. How valuable is that? Would have to be STEVE NASH.
Steve Nash! (Canadian Eh!)
I think that Steve Nash deserves the award more then n e 1 in the nba, but the voters r retards and say nash got it the last 2 years and dirk had a bettr year, even though when dirk got hurt, his team stil won, when nash got hurt, the suns cant win, so the MVP award should go 2 nash cause he is the Most Valuable Player in the nba, no questions asked, not the most talented, but the Most Valuable Player.
well jean-mar! i agree with you! dirk could not even get his team to second round!! and he played poorly!! now steve nash is another story! steve nash gets third MVP!! HE DESERVES IT, PLAYER!
Steve Nash is and should be the MVP. Koby is without doubt the best 'player' in the league; but, if you switched the two the Suns are out in the first round (if they even made the playoffs. With Nash at the wheel for the Lakers, just imagine how good the other players around him would be. Odom, Walton, and Brown would have monster years. There is no question that he makes the people around him better. The Suns record without Nash vs with him? No question there. Dirk's Mavericks had a time trying to win without him, but they can win without him(look at the record with and without.) Plus Nash's averages are up from last year. How can someone have a better year than they had the previous MVP year, and NOT win the award. There is no doubt that Dirk had a great year also, so I can see how he might win it. (no argument. he deserved it too) But Steve Nash is a better all around player and more valuable to his team then anyone out there because of the fact that he makes them better than they are. (by the way. Who was Boris Diaw before he got to the Suns?)
I think Lebron James should win MVP for bringing his team to another level this year.
the candian white guy nash
I will go with Marion.
Lebron. He has led a team that, without him, would be medicore at best.
This is a no brainier, it Steve Nash. He can score any time he wants, pass any time he wants. He is a machine that nobody can match.
