The heavy favourites are the Lakers. With LeBron and Anthony Davis, they will be hard to beat in seven games. I know it’s a special year for the Lakers because of Kobe Bryant so good for them to win.

Finals MVP? I don't know... between LeBron and Anthony Davis?

I think LA has it but I want Miami to win. As a fan of Golden State Warriors, the Lakers are our mortal enemy and LeBron being on that team makes it even worse. The worst part is he’s so disappointed with not winning the MVP for the season that he’s extra motivated to win it in the finals.

I’m absolutely rooting for Miami. Great underdog feel-good story of the bubble. Would like to see Pat Riley win another trophy cementing his legacy as not only a great coach, but great executive. Its “chip on my shoulder” vs. “ship on my shoulders” basketball. Butler vs. Bron. I’ll always bet on the athlete with something to prove. Ultimately coaching edge goes to Spoelstra (and how dare I root against a fellow Pinoy). Great drama ahead! Heat in 6!

I think that the Lakers will take home the championship this year. With everything that has happened in 2020 including the death of Kobe Bryant, they seemed most determined to honour his legacy.

I think LeBron James will hold up his 4th finals MVP trophy this year. He looks fresh at this point of the playoffs, maybe the lay-off before the bubble was to his advantage as he was able to recharge those 35-year old legs.
