Poll: 69% of NBA Players Expect Another Lakers Championship

The OC Register got its hands on the latest S.I. poll of NBA players, most of whom expect to be watching the Lakers three-peat this summer: “A Sports Illustrated poll of 157 NBA players resulted in 69 percent of them picking the Lakers to win the 2011 NBA championship. Also receiving votes were the Celtics (22 percent), Heat (3), Magic (2) and Spurs (1). The survey was conducted throughout December.”

    69% percent of those players arent competitors and 0% of those 69% were celtics. C’s baby!

    69% of their players are realistic lol. You don’t vote for your team in an SI poll. Would you rather have players say ” You kidding? My team aka the Minnesota Timberwolves/ the Cleveland Cavaliers/ the New Jersey Nets etc. are gonna win the Chip. Bank on it baby!!!?!”
