Legler is as big of an idiot as that other analyst who use to work for abc/espn, that bald headed scrub who use to be a bench warmer for GSW in his hay day, I think his name is Tom Tolbert.....both these scrubs are the worst analyst and have the biggest mouth for calling out STARS players when they were both perenial scrubs/bench warmers when they were in the league....as if either one of them knew what it was like to have to carry a team :lol:

Yea, one lucky guess doesn't make everything else you say is right. I can just pick every underdogs to win, would that make me a genius if one do win?

Also, Ron Artest? You are crazy, what case does he have? MVP & DPOY should be unanimous.

no one takes legler seriously, he just likes certain players and doesn't like others which is how he analyzes everything. he just picks his favorites.

It's amazing to me how bad those predictions were. Did anyone really think Los Angeles would beat the Celtics in five games that season? Did any of those experts not watch how awesome Boston was that year?

Clarify? You don't believe Lebron should win MVP, while Dwight get DPOY?

With all due respect, there's a strong argument that Lebron isn't even the best defender on his own team. He's a good defender, certainly a spectacular one, but he's nowhere close to being DPOY.

Anybody who thinks Lebron James is the best defender in the NBA is either Lebron's mom, Lebron's agent or doesn't see him play defense outside of the chase down blocks he gets every other game.

He's a good defender, but he's very far from the best in the NBA.

Legler...not a good pick. What the hell made him think one day that LeBron would win DPOTY? hah

There are lots and lots of better defenders than LeBron. I'd say Varejao deserves more look for DPOTY than does LeBron.
