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.

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.
Re: AP Source: LeBron to be named NBA MVP on Saturday
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.

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.

[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]
