Are the Lakers contenders for the 2010 NBA championship? Kobe was is a great player and the was player of the year at the ESPYS. The Lakers were also the ESPYS best team of the year. But this years draft might have made some teams contenders also. The Clippers drafting the #1 pick Blake Griffin might bring a turn around season for the clippers and maybe a rookie of the year trophy to blake griffin. I think the Cavaliers might also be a contender with their newest player Shaq. Go cavs! Who do you guys think will win the 2010 NBA Championship?
