Congrats........

[Marchesk]

As long as it wasn't Lebron.

[keep-itreal]

How are you the MVP when your supporting cast won a game without your bum ass?

[ArbitraryWater]

Epic call, voters.

[SouBeachTalents]

How are you the MVP when your supporting cast won a game without your bum ass?
The Warriors won multiple playoffs games without the unanimous MVP in 2016

Regular. Season. Award.

Yeah and he had the biggest chokejob in sports history the finals that year blowing a 3-1 lead.

[keep-itreal]

Lakers would struggle to win a playoff game if Lebron sat out

Not his fault Silver took over the series.

This without silver lebron would of not won in 16

[Roundball_Rock]

He deserves it but will get a lot of hate because of the timing. Only KAJ, LeBron and Giannis have won multiple MVP's by age 25.


The Warriors won multiple playoffs games without the unanimous MVP in 2016

Not to mention the Lakers and Rockets won games without LeBron and Harden too. These are NBA teams. No team is going to lose every game. The Bucks likely are a .500 type team without Giannis for a full season. We may get a chance to see that theory put to the test...

Maybe if Draymond wasn't such a dumbass hitting peoples balls all the time he wouldn't be suspended

[light]

A back-to-back MVP with no memorable playoff games.

A Steve Nash quality back-to-back MVP.

What about Lebron James 08 - 10 ?

The last 3 in a row winner was Bird. I can almost guarantee he won't win next year unless he drops like 35/15 and the Bucks win 75 games. If I were a betting man I would put money on Luka next year, with Steph and KD as darkhorse candidates if they have bounce-back seasons and their teams return to/become elite status.

8 years of lebron's prime with no mvp

that disqualifies him from top 5, while the collluding, inferior style, and lack of elite off-ball or shooting keeps him out of top 10

[bison]

Curious to see how many votes Roid and AD got. They deserve co mvp over Giannis.

[Gohan]

What about Lebron James 08 - 10 ?

He was pretty good in 09 but you have a point

[jlip]

This was expected. I would like to see the voting breakdown.

[Roundball_Rock]

Curious to see how many votes Roid and AD got. They deserve co mvp over Giannis.

The voting is out.

First place votes: Giannis 85, LeBron 16, rest of NBA 0
Second place votes: LeBron 84, Giannis 16, Harden 1, rest of NBA 0

Harden dominated the third place votes, Luka and Kawhi battled for fourth and fifth place votes.

[Lebron23]

He's going to get some voter's fatique next year because the media knows that he's a fraud in the playoffs.

[Axe]

Where are those freaks who thought that rings don't mean everything? They now go flagging his b2b mvp titles as worthless just because he remains chipless.

[Lebron23]

He was pretty good in 09 but you have a point

Lebron is a 4x nba regular season mvp.

[KD7]

Another year, another snub *sigh* :facepalm

[Lebron23]

Another year, another snub *sigh* :facepalm
At least we are going to see lebron more angry and motivated against the nuggets

[r0drig0lac]

Yeah and he had the biggest chokejob in sports history the finals that year blowing a 3-1 lead.
and still has no iconic moments in the playoffs.

[Smook A.]

He clearly deserves it for how he was playing in the regular season. After all, it is a regular season award...

[Gohan]

Lebron is a 4x nba regular season mvp.

And he only deserves the ones he got on Cleveland. Miami was bullshit he gets handed awards for blatant cheating. Whether wade got injured or not. We all knew his intentions was of like except Kd never goes to the warriors without lebron going to Miami.

Huh? Lebron was the heat's best player in the playoffs regular season and finals.

[Doranku]

The last 3 MVPs are Giannis, Harden, and Westbrook..... yikes.
