MSF’s NBA Polls: Part 1
Welcome to MSF’s first ever NBA Poll.
What is it? Well, this is a poll we will be having 3 times during the year, and it will include a variety of questions most NBA fans would be intrigued to answer (Such as MVP, Rookie of the Year, etc).
Then you will be able to look back to our previous polls, and see how the polls may have changed. Then finally, when awards and answers are out, you can compare our polls to reality.

Can't help but notice a certain Cavalier centricity in some answers.
It'll be interesting to see what the final results will be.

Yup, its definitely Cav heavy. And the polls predict Shaq leading in rebounds & blocks, which is ridiculous.
Also, Derrick Rose is the fastest player in the NBA. How you left him off that list makes the list null in void.
One last thing, Kevin Durant averaged 26 Points a Game last year. You cant be the Most Improved Player after that.

It is Cav heavy. Give it time though, and Durant definitely improve in other areas. Plus, Derrick Rose can
be out into the "Other" category btw.
