Lebron James was this years NBA MVP. I know that’s an easy statement to stand behind AFTER the award was handed to him, but it has truly been a fact sinc long before the season ended.
Lebron James was amazing this season. And stood alone as the natural choice for most valuable player. On all but seven ballots. Yes, amidst his amazing season, there were actually seven voters that thought Kevin Durant or Dwight Howard was the MVP. Keving Durant is a great basketball player, and may in fact move on to a handful of MVP awards in his own career, but the “greatest” of the great players this season? I dont think so. Dwight Howard, defensive player of the year, dunk champion, force in the pant? Not a chance.
Not if you saw Lebron this year. Not if you actually watched what this kid pulled off night in and night out. He was a force. It was ridiculous. nothing so dominating since “you know who” left the league the second time.
But there were still nay-sayers to his MVP conquest. I understand that there is a case to be made for many other players, but coming to the conclusion to officially cast your vote for somebody other than Lebron this year is actually saying that there is a case against James. Which there is not. Simply put, he was the best player on his team, in the league. One that his team could not do without, that other players feared playing against, and whose actual season stats are bordering on legendary status this year.
But alas, there will always be the homers, deciding to vote on who they see more often instead of who deserves it, and the only way to silence these doubters, is to bring home the first major sports championship to Cleveland in over 35 years.
