They feel that he hasn't "earned" it yet. To me, you either are the best or you aren't, and LeBron is and has been the best all around player in the NBA. Now those of us in the "know" can sit back, and observe the rest of the world as they finally "get it". LeBron is also one of the more underrated defenders in the game. LeBron is one of the best help defenders in the NBA today. LeBron's ability and footwork on defense have been vastly underrated. LeBron did a fantastic job on Pierce for most of the series. LeBron did a fantastic job on Kobe Bryant again this year, just see my video section. LeBron is a 1st team defender getting low class recognition. To those who like Kobe, LeBron is a better shot blocker, passer, scorer, more efficient scorer, rebounder, overall defender, and athlete. You might want to consider spending more time following the future of the NBA, LeBron James! WITNESS THE KING! For a franchise to draft, trade for, and sign a bunch of journeymen as the Cavs did, and they still make it to the NBA finals last year? Other canidates like KG and Kobe's teammates are by far more valuable to Kobe and Kevin Garnett than either guy is to them. If you subtracted Kobe, the Lakers would still win 40+ games. If you subtracted KG the Celtics would still win 40+ games. If you subtracted LeBron would the Cavs even win 20 games? Not to mention LeBron has been by far the most consistent all around player in the NBA. He is the definition of MVP. It doesn't matter who his teammates are, LeBron will get his team to the playoffs.

I HATE THE 'MAGIC' 50 WIN MVP MARK.thelebronjamesblitzhttp://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/users/thelebronjamesblitzthelebronjamesblitzTOP 10 NBA PLAYERS OF ALL TIME: MICHAEL JORDAN, KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR, WILT CHAMBERLAIN, MAGIC JOHNSON, LARRY BIRD, BILL RUSSELL, HAKEEM OLAJUWON, OSCAR ROBERTSON, SHAQ O'NEAL, #10 IS A TIE BETWEEN CHARLES BARKLEY, KARL MALONE, AND TIM DUNCAN. Youtube hall of fame: fantasysportsgirl, mydamnvideo, hoopsencyclopedia, blackadam06, hypebusta, AlanFlowers, me(my viewers insisted that I add myself), cdbleb3, delax87. Click the link at the bottom of this to see who led the NBA in 82 game's clutch rating this year.mThe bottom line is that LeBron rebounds like a power forward for his team. LeBron handles the ball like a point guard for his team. LeBron scores like a 2 guard for his team. LeBron is versatile like an athletic 3 for his team. LeBron handles the ball a lot, and he has a low turnover count. To handle the ball as much as LeBron does and have the same amount of turnovers as Kobe Bryant, who handles the ball less, it's another piece of proof that he is far above these other MVP canidates. LeBron has more steals and blocks as well. These stat totals don't appear magicly. LeBron has put up great production this year by playing his ass off. LeBron has singlehandedly led his team to more wins than any other player in the NBA. LeBron leads the league in scoring. I also contend that LeBron is now the most unstoppable player in the NBA. You cannot deny that LeBron James is the single most valuable player in the NBA. I would contend that well over 60% of the GM's in the NBA would take LeBron James #1 if they could draft him today. He's young, athletic, skilled, smart, and he plays his ass off. LBJ is the true MVP. Kobe is a better pure shooter, and if you agree with that, then you have no choice but to agree with the fact that LeBron is better at attacking the rim, rebounding, passing, handling the ball, lifting his team to wins single handedly, and he is putting up better defensive production. For every 1 category that Kobe beats LeBron in, LeBron beats Kobe in 3 more. Kobe shoots a better % from 3 pointers yet LeBron has the better fg%. So what's that tell you? Logicly it tells a realistic fan that Kobe is missing more shots INSIDE of the 3 point line. Considering the fact that the highest % of shots taken are inside the three point line, it's safe to say the more valuable player is the man who can make the higher % of shots from the floor as a whole. Shooting a high% with free throws is a necessity to Kobe's game. A big part of Kobe's game is drawing touch shooters fouls on the perimeter. LeBron does not need to rely on drawing fouls. The nights where Kobe doesn't get the calls he is more at risk to be a detriment to his team.USMVP should be an award that goes to the player who is most valuable in the NBA. There are many ways to determine an MVP and there have been various outcomes due to various ways of thinking. This year is simple, LeBron James is by far ahead of the rest of the MVP canidates. LeBron has a bunch of guys around him who are on the downside of their career. For the Cavs to be a contender in the east is nearly a miracle. You couldn't insert any 1 single other player from the NBA, in LeBron's position, and win as many games as the Cavs have.EVEN YAHOO SPORTS IS SAYING THE SAME THING THAT BRUCE BLITZ HAS SAID FOR 2 YEARS!! http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/nba_experts/post/Why-I-beli eve-LeBron-has-been-better-than-Ko?urn=nba,69942takenthe old schoolLeBron is the reigning scoring champ, scored 48 on the Pistons (only guy in the NBA to do that), scored 45 on the world champion Celtics (only guy in the NBA to do that), LeBron is putting up the best all around numbers, yet, ESPN and some of the mainstream media have yet to crown LeBron as the best player in the game.
