Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki Receives Finals MVP Award, Minnesota Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett Earns Regular Season MVP Award
Mavericks' forward Dirk Nowitzki was named The Finals MVP after averaging 20.3 points and 8.8 rebounds in the playoffs. During the regular season, the Minnesota Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett received the MVP award after scoring 25.8 ppg, leading the league in rebounding (12.1 rpg) and finishing third overall in blocks (2.5 bpg).
The fourth playoff seed in the Western Conference after posting a 56-26 regular season record, the Mavericks reached the The Finals for a second consecutive year after defeating the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs in a seven-game Western Conference Finals. The Cavaliers defeated the defending NBA champion Miami Heat in seven games to capture the Eastern Conference Finals. Last year the NBA LIVE simulation correctly predicted Miami would advance to the NBA Finals (losing to San Antonio) and Kobe Bryant would capture the regular season scoring title.
The 2006-07 "NBA Opening Week It's Game Time" readies to tip off on Oct. 31 with two games featuring the defending NBA champion Heat at home against the Chicago Bulls and Los Angles Lakers hosting the Phoenix Suns.
In the NBA LIVE 07 simulation, the Spurs posted an NBA-best 65-17 record while the New York Knicks finished last overall with a 19-63 mark. Eight teams posted 50 or more wins including the Spurs (65-17), Phoenix Suns (62-50), Cavaliers (58-24), Mavericks (56-26), Los Angeles Clippers (55-27), Heat (54-28), Houston Rockets (52-30) and Chicago Bulls (52-30).
Additional results of the NBA LIVE 07 simulation for 2006-07 NBA Season include:
- Philadelphia 76ers' Allen Iverson capturing the NBA scoring title with 30.5 ppg, but unable to lead the 76ers into the playoffs.
- Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James, ranking fifth in scoring with 27 ppg, and leading the Cavaliers to the best regular season record in the Eastern Conference at 58-24.
- Chicago Bulls' Ben Wallace earning Defensive Player of the Year award.
- Charlotte Bobcats' Adam Morrison receiving the Rookie of the Year award.
- New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets' Desmond Mason receiving the Sixth Man award.
- Orlando Magic's Jameer Nelson earning Most Improved Player.
- San Antonio Spurs' Greg Popovich receiving Coach of the Year award
