Can the Miami Heat do it again?
A majority of the league's general managers think so. According to NBA.com's 12th annual GM Survey, the Heat are the clear favorite to win their third straight title. But five other teams also received votes to win the 2014 Finals, the most title contenders in the survey in five years.
The GMs have made it clear that LeBron James is the best player in the world. And after a three-year absence, 37-year-old Tim Duncan is back as the top power forward in the league. But for the first time in the history of the survey, someone other than Kobe Bryant has been named as the league's best shooting guard.
All 30 GMs responded to 56 different questions about the best teams, players, coaches, fans, and offseason moves. General managers were not permitted to vote for their own team or personnel. Percentages are based on the pool of respondents to each question of the survey, rather than all 30 GMs.

Parker ranked best international player

Kawhi got votes for player likely to have a breakout season

Nando got a vote for international player likely to have breakout season :wow

Pop dominated coaching categories.

Matt Bonner's name even on here- Which player makes the most of limited natural ability? :lol Came in 3rd

So now we know that PlayNando is actually a GM in the NBA.

Which team? Perhaps the Bobcats?

The respect that Popovich has in this league is impressive. Wouldn't know it based on this forum.

ROFL at Nando De Colo...

I bet R.C. put in a very quick call to whoever wrote this article begging them to tell him who the GM was.

Also, interesting Heat didnt get a single vote for team youd like to watch play

That's because Miami, as good as they are, are already predictable at this point.

Pop as the best in, in game adjustments.

yep, like pulling your best player out of the game in the final minute.

imagine phil jackson pulling pippen and rodman out at the end of a game on the defensive end during the finals. that's what popovich did, but his past obviously erases that somehow.

Any Spur fan acquitting Pop of his championship costing blunder should stop watching basketball altogether. As a basketball enthusiast, that was the worst sequence of coaching I have ever seen.

Partner have you seen the teams they compete with? Miami is gifted with 16 free wins out of their own division not to mention the other crappy Eastern conference teams that consistently tank.

But has it ever been so unanimous? The Spurs always had the Mavs to keep them in check and the Lakers had the Kings. Heck even the Bulls had Pistons back in the days.

Lol CP3 is so effin overrated.

I found that part laughable that he is still considered the best point guard in the NBA even though he's been outplayed by so many others. What a joke the ol' sport is. This year, there are no excuses because Doc is the coach now.

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN - Per GM survey, Tim Duncan was No. 1 power forward, No. 3 center. Once and for all Tim, are you a forward or center? Duncan: "Yes."


Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN - Fun exchange with Duncan on winning GM survey as best leader: "Really? Nice. Do I get a trophy for that? No trophy?"
