Kyrie Irving will win MVP

Kyrie Irving had a great debut season in Boston. He became a better overall player and it was a real shame that his season got cut short.

Irving was a much better defensive player and continued to be dominant scoring buckets. He averaged 24.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.

I think with Gordon Hayward back, Irving will be even better. Defense’s won’t be able to just focus in on him anymore. The Celtics have so many great scorers. Opposing defenses will fear going to TD Garden.

Irving was the All-Star MVP in 2013-2014, but this season I think he will be the MVP of the entire league. Irving will still get his shots up and will definitely be dishing out plenty of assists.

I think Irving will average 28 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds a game. If he wants to be MVP he is going to have to dominate this season.

No matter the personal achievements there is no doubt that the Celtics will be successful as a team.
