I had thought this was Durant's year, but as the season wore on...pretty clear Lebron was gonna take it. Best year of his career.

Congrats LeBron!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

certainly deserved. best regular season player for 3 quarters.

He just joined an elite club- He became just the 8th player to win 3+ MVPS. But he's the only member of that exclusive group to have no championships on his resume.

He will win his first finals MVP this year. Bird was 28 yrs.old when he won his first Finals MVP. The Miami Heat are a much better team this season. LBJ is also a much better player.

Nothing's guaranteed, especially with the way the Spurs are playing. Miami is kind of thin after the big 3, but we'll see.

Bron could duplicate the season he has had NEXT season and wouldnt win MVP. He'd have to literally average a triple double to win it again. Otherwise wait a full season so someone else gets the award then be back in the lead the following season. You know voters will operate this way. Because honestly he could win this award damn near yearly.

Coach Spo needs to tell his boys to play some physical defense againts the Spurs. The Heat swept the Spurs in the regular season, but the playoffs are a different ball game.

I'd take the Heat in 6 games. Spurs will beat the Thunder in the Conference Finals.

Well deserved MVP.

If he doesn't say anything other than "I'm honored to receive this award and it's a great accomplishment but this award means nothing to me right now" I'll be really disappointed.

[SIZE="4"]CP3 was robbed...[/SIZE]

[LIST][*]take Lebron off the Heat, they still make the playoffs[*]take Durant off the Thunder, they still make the playoffs[*]take CP3 off the Clippers, we're back to last year where the 2nd-year Blake has to carry the entire team on his shoulders... no playoffs, no 4th quarter wins from CP3[/LIST]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar [B]6[/B]
Michael Jordan [B]5[/B]
Bill Russell [B]5[/B]
Wilt Chamberlain [B]4[/B]
Magic Johnson [B]3[/B]
Larry Bird [B]3[/B]
Moses Malone [B]3[/B]
Lebron James [B]3[/B]

Hell of a list :applause:

:bowdown: :applause: :bowdown:

YES!!!!

Time for the MVP to not win the championship curse to continue. Thank you lawd

Lebron has now as many MVPs as Larry Bird, Moses and Magic Johnson have for their entire career and he is only 27.... :pimp:

Congrats... we all know how good you are Lebron, but now its time to start spamming some rings!

CP3 was #2 on my list, but let me explain why your reasoning is faulty:

The Clippers with CP3 aren't as good as the Heat and OKC with their respective stars, therefore they should be worse when you remove each star. If they all had the same record, then you could make the case removing one would leave a team substantially worse.

sad year for mvp candidates. the real mvp out with injury the whole season. the one selected will barely have any memorable games this season. shame

how, cuz lebron led his team to 4-8 and rose led his team to 7-4 against the top 6 teams in the league, while scoring more points.

[COLOR=Teal][B]Congrats and well-deserved. It's a matter of time before he wins a title, but winning it now would mean so much more now that he's just won his 3rd MVP.

what's your point son. I guess you didn't know Bulls are try hard regular season team. Also more rounded deeper better coached team.

No other player deserved the MVP. It was all Lebron. :applause:

Wow, I didn't believe it was possible. Sad shit. But whatever.

-Smak

still a douchebag

you can say Lebron was the best player this season, but you cant say he was the [I]most valuable[/I]... CP3 was.

there's an important difference

I'm really not sure how people continue to overlook MVP voting criteria. It's not like it has changed in the past few years.

Clippers didn't even get home court...
