GMs pick Lakers

Surprise, surprise. The Lakers are the favorites to repeat as NBA champions, selected by 60.7 percent of the league's general managers in a poll conducted by NBA.com. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers each picked up 17.9 percent of the GM's votes.

Meanwhile, LeBron James of the Cavaliers was the overwhelming pick to win a second consecutive MVP award, drawing 69 percent of the votes from the league's 30 general managers. Kobe Bryant of the Lakers was a distant second with 17.2 percent.

GMs could not vote for their own teams or players.
