Chapter 141 Whenever any media discusses the regular season MVP, they should add

October had arrived, and various media outlets began to anticipate the new season.

The Indiana Pacers, as the defending champions, ranked first on most media team power rankings.

Even ESPN, which often likes to stir things up, didn't purposefully rank them behind other teams for a change. Instead, they reasonably said, "Reggie Miller's retirement won't impact the team at all because Ron Artest is coming back. Most importantly, we have Su Wan, 20-year-old Su Wan, who will bring us even more surprises than when he was 19!"

On July 1, Su Wan's 20th birthday, ESPN even issued a headline news article speculating about his future.

The last person to receive such treatment from them was LeBron James.

Ranked second was the Miami Heat.

Shaquille O'Neal's weight loss, Dwyane Wade's third season, and Pat Riley's series of masterful moves during the summer... All these combined are the reasons why the Miami Heat ranked second on the power ranking list.
