1. The Golden State Warriors will be better than ever this season and will repeat as NBA champions...but will have big time bumps on the road in the Western Conference. 2. Kevin Durant will be better and win his second Most Valuable Player award, even though Steph Curry is still the arbiter for Golden State's culture. 3. LeBron James will add to his resume as being one of the top five players ever, if not higher, but won't catch Michael Jordan for total MVPs (five)...
