LeBron James named NBA MVP today

[Lebron23]

[oh the horror]

Are Laker/Kobe fans getting scared or something? Some of them trying to push their "Kobe has a worse team" agenda already. I have never in the history of this game seen a player as good as Kobe need so many excuses to be made by his fans.

Dont play yourself bro. No one is suggesting that at all.


I think both have good teams, but come on...acting like Kobe has this championship team, while Lebron plays for a Junior varsity squad is a bit much. Im saying they BOTH have GREAT teams whom they BOTH elelvate to greater status through their plays.


Lebron is more valuable to his team this year, yes, but the Lakers arent some championship contender without Kobe.

I know it was LeBron then who Kobe Wade who else? How did the voting numbering go??

[OneMoreSucka]

The Cleveland Cavaliers star won what some expected to be a close vote in a slam dunk. He received 109 of a possible 121 first-place votes to easily outdistance Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. James totaled 1,172 points in balloting by media members in the U.S. and Canada.

Bryant, last year's winner, got two first-place votes and finished with 698 points. Miami guard Dwyane Wade was third with 680 points and was named first on seven ballots. Orlando center Dwight Howard (328) was fourth followed by New Orleans guard Chris Paul (192).

So basically, a landslide.

Not exactly hard to find if you go to NBA.com and look at the official release.

Dude, his memphis teams almost always had 5 or 6 guys average more than 10 ppg. They had Posey, Battier and many solid defenders and were rated as a top 5 defense during those days. at ANYONE who thinks Lakers would be a top 5 type of defense without Kobe.

They won 50 games with him averaging 17/8 on 48%. You are actually dumb enough to believe he carried that team?

The perimeter defense is the Lakers' greatest weakness this year. Kobe can't take any credit for how good the Lakers have been on defense. Kobe is easily the most overrated defender of all time.

They also won 49 games two years later with Gasol averaging 20.4 pts/8.9 reb/4.6 ast/1.9 blk/50.3% FG and no one else doing much of anything (Miller was ok, but pretty much every team has a 13-15 ppg scorer).

It should have been unanimous.

[cotdt]

Lebron is season MVP, Kobe will be Finals MVP. What else is new?

Well it would be extremely new if Kobe was finals MVP. He would be only the second player in history to win the FMVP on the losing team. Very impressive for Kobe.

Congrats Bronners on a great season

BTW: This is Duncan's 1st season EVER to not be in the top 10 for MVP

[InspiredLebowski]

Damn, LBJ looks just like his mom.

[Mamba]
