LeBron James, Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard and Andrew Bynum: The pillars of NBA playoffs
The 2010-2011 regular season has reached its final stages and the top eight teams from both the Conferences are all geared up to carry the action in the upcoming playoffs. Chicago Bulls are currently leading the East with 59 victories
whereas San Antonio Spurs carry the top seed in the West followed by 60 victories. The postseason is expected to be filled with sheer excitement and immense anticipation as all the teams prepare their big guns to provide fireworks in a stimulating face-off.
Each line-up will be firing on all cylinders to spearhead their team for the championship title as all eyes are on the following seven prolific players.
LeBron James - Miami Heat
Miami was supposed to tear the opposition apart when the inexorable Big 3 LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh combined to take the Heat. Even though things turned out differently as planned in the South beach but Miami is
certainly one of the toughest contenders in the Eastern Conference. Two-time reigning MVP champion James is surrounded with superstars this time and his role will be extensively significant. He was the lone performer in the Cleveland Cavaliers however with
the support of Wade and Bosh; the All-Star can clinch another title fight this year.
Derrick Rose - Chicago Bulls
The sharp-shooter of the Chicago Bulls, Derrick Rose is having a phenomenal season with his formidable allure on the court. Rose continues to dominate any opposition on and off his home court and is showing no signs of retreat.
He spearheaded the Bulls on the top and now determined to seal the big title which the team even couldn’t fight for since Michael Jordan championship era. Rose has an incredible ability to handle the pressure of late-game situation so no one can relax playing
against him. Derrick’s exceptional performance puts him on the top of the list for the Most Valuable player award this season. He showed his brilliance in the regular season and now it will be interesting to watch how he braces himself in the hard-hitting
playoffs.
Dwight Howard - Orlando Magic
There may be few who does not consider Orlando Magic as the serious contenders in the East however the big man Dwight Howard is conceivably the one player in the league who can carry his team beyond expectations. The vigorous
Howard has a major impact once a sets foot on the court and his presence on the defense make Orlando a contender. Howard smashes the opposition on the front court with his daunting persona and at the same time supports the defense massively. His average of
more than 14 rebounds along with 23.1 points per game says it all. So it will be irresponsible to contemplate the Magics less threatening than others.
Andrew Bynum - Los Angeles Lakers
Everybody is well aware of Kobe Bryant’s brilliance and nobody predicts for the legendry player to execute because Bryant does that without the predictions. However the goal for the three-peat will become much easier with the lights
of their star player Andrew Bynum. Without any doubt, Bynum is the best interior defender for the two-time championship defending champions Lakers. His health and fitness is considerably vital for the team in clinching another title this year.
