Looks like he changed his vote this week. This guy has a ballot too.

Michael (Ohio): DD, Tell me when you turn in your MVP vote tomorrow it will say "King" James on it! -Michael
David DuPree: Yes, it will -- in the No. 2 spot behind Kobe. My order: (1) Bryant; (2) James; (3) Nowitzki; (4) Nash; (5) Billups.
Michael from Ohio got OWNED!

Since when does The Last Dragon get an MVP vote?

Slightly OT from the point of this post he later writes:
| Quote: | SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS: WHAT UP D.D ? DIE HARD LAKER FAN, MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, THEY REALLY SEEM TO BE JELLIN' AS A TEAM RIGHT NOW, HOW FAR DO YOU SEE THEM GOING IN THE PLAYOFFS? AND SECOND AND PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANTLY IS , DO YOU REALLY SEE THEM GETTING A SHOT AT K.G? THANKS D.C
David DuPree: I'm picking the Lakers over the Suns (if they play them) as my first-round upset special, and then they go home. ... I think the Lakers have as good a shot as anyone at Garnett. Remember, if Minnesota does trade him, it will trade him to a team he wants to play for, and I think he wants to play with Kobe. If the Lakers pull that off, they go right to the head of the class again. |
Nice to see the guy thinks the Lakers can beat the Suns, but really beat the Suns then lose to the Clips? |

How's this guy (not Dupree but some guy writing in to him)?!?!? Totally taking Kobe's comments out of context... 
| Quote: | st. louis, Missouri: Doesn't Kobe's recent comments about himself and no one else being the MVP just exemplify what's wrong about him? Lamaar Odom has been an all-star before correct? Do you think he would be if he played with Lebron??
David DuPree: Kobe is just extremely confident, and I don't think we should vote against him just because we don't like some of what he says. Odom has never been an all-star, but he is a fine player. He'd do just fine with LeBron, but not any better than he's done with Bryant. |

Every time I have heard David Dupree talk (mostly from his stints on PTI, which I have not seen in years), he seems very knowledgeable and not full of hate or bias, especially against the Lakers. I find him to be fair and objective (as objective as any writer can be).
But I do not read the USA Today, nor been watching TV much of late, so I cannot say how his opinions have leaned.

You're assuming that the Clippers beat Denver, which possibly may not happen. But in either case, if the Lakers beat the Suns, they face Denver or the Clippers. Personally, at that point, I think they have an excellent opportunity to make it to the WCF. Then it's either Dallas or S.A. I think S.A. will win over Dallas, but if not, I guess it's possible that the Lakers could make it to the NBA Finals. But I guess we should be focusing on N.O. first.

I realize we are getting off of the subject, but when the kid starts popping to get out of the ropes he is tied up with, is one of the most hilarious unintentional comedic scenes in film history! |

Be wary of buying it. I have it on DVD (and love it) but the box clearly says it is widescreen but the one I have is very much not widescreen.

any bonus features on it? I would be suprised if any scenes were deleted from that movie. Seriously though, I LOVE that movie. I was like 10 years old when that came out. Totaly in my prime for that movie. I remember trying to get the glow so bad, that I popped a few blood vessels. |
