AP: LeBron James Wins 3rd MVP in 4 Seasons: LeBron James will be announced Saturday as the NBA's MVP, an unnamed league source told AP. This would be the third time he's hoisted the Maurice in four seasons. Only four players have more: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (6), Michael Jordan and Bill Russell (5) and Wilt Chamberlain (4).

I think the Spurs are the only team that has a chance of preventing it. They're the most under-the-radar number one seed I can remember. People aren't talking about them enough.
That said, the Thunder look so good and I think they win the match-up battle. Harden is such a game changer, and who guards him with both Durant and Westbrook on the floor? There isn't any team that can take on three players who can create their own shot off the dribble and all of them are terrific transition/open court players.

Kevin Durant finished second. I'm hoping for a Heat-Thunder finals.
