The San Antonio Spurs were the overwhelming choice to win another NBA championship this season in an NBA.com survey involving league general managers.

San Antonio received 46.2% of the votes to repeat as NBA champions, with the Cleveland Cavaliers in second place with 15.4%.

The general managers were asked 56 questions in total but were not allowed to vote for their own team or players.

Cavaliers star LeBron James was the runaway winner in the MVP category with 67.9% of the votes, while Kevin Durant came second despite being ruled out for six to eight weeks following foot surgery.

Meanwhile, Milwaukee Bucks star Jabari Parker was the pick to win Rookie of the Year with 75% of the votes, with Andrew Wiggins finishing a distant second.
