With the season tipping off tomorrow, let’s talk preseason NBA Awards..

MVP : LeBron James
Back-to-back MVPs for Bron Bron.

Rookie of the Year: Blake Griffin
His work ethic along with that talent will ensure he’s no Michael Beasley.
***Update*** Tyreke Evans is my new ROY favorite due to Blake's injury.

Most Improved : Anthony Randolph
If he can stay healthy, he could make a huge leap this year.

Comeback Player of the Year : Gilbert Arenas
I’m not convinced he’ll last the whole year, but if he does he should win this award in a landslide.

Sixth Man of the Year: Lamar Odom
Mr. Kardashian can do it all for the Lakers.

Defensive Player of the Year: Dwight Howard
Howard is such a beast on defense.

Coach of the Year: Jerry Sloan
If his team can stay healthy, Sloan can win the long overdue award.
