NBA 2019-20: 3 bold predictions for the MVP award

#1 Kyrie Irving

Time to move on and recapture what Uncle Drew deserves

Kyrie has admitted on multiple occasions he takes full responsibility for his trainwreck campaign at Boston. However amidst all the false promises and questionable leadership, we seem to forget that he's already a six-time All-Star at just 27-years-old.

Irving has always housed the aptitude necessary to play a crucial role in a title run, if not lead from the front. He was averaging over 25 points and six assists per game, on 47% shooting when deciding to leave LeBron for the Celtics. All things considered, he's still more than capable of being as effective.

There is no doubt Kyrie could've soared higher after winning his first ring, but even after losing two years of his prime to a multitude of poor decisions, he still has enough left in the cylinder to be the world's best player. The MVP award for Irving next year appears too far-fetched, but that's only because we haven't seen him shine in recent seasons. Which could mean the best is yet to come.
