Why Lebron James Deserves The MVP Instead of Kobe Bryant or Dwayne Wade

Dwyane Wade Picture

Lebron James is clearly in the drivers seat toward the NBA MVP and I will supplement you with reasons why he will win the award rather than Kobe Bryant or Dwayne Wade.  Wade has really poured it on as of late to even be mentioned in this elite MVP argument.

  • Don’t forget what Wade did last year when the Heat were eliminated.  He jogged, played hard sometimes, and basically packed it in by March.  Would either Kobe or Lebron mope the way D Wade did?  I think not.
  • Lebron James has gotten pulled out of games and missed quarters and halves this year becuase Cleveland was already blowing a team out.  Neither Wade or Kobe has forfeited eligible playing time to avoid risking an injury, not the way Lebron has this year. 
  • Remember when Kobe put up 60 at the Garden a little over a month ago?  The next game there Lebron went off too, getting robbed of a triple double ( a more complete stat than just counting points) when someone cried to the NBA to take his last rebound that he hustled for to be removed.  Best part of Lebrons triple double is that he put 50 points with it.  He still managed to find teammates at least ten times to pass.
  • Lebron James is a much better defensive player than either D Wade or Kobe.  I have never seen so many beautiful blocked shots in one season.  Don’t believe me?  Go to Google and type Lebron James blocked shots and watch the show.
  • If you ask Lebron, he says “Kobe“, and if you ask Kobe, he says “Lebron“.  Nobody is saying D Wade yet. and we are running out of season.
  • Wait until the playoffs and finals are over, take an objective look at who meant more to their teams success before elimination, and then vote for the guy you think deserves the hardware. 

Having followed Lebron James since the Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary days, I can honestly say this is the most complete and well-rounded of a season he has ever had.  D Wade is having a remarkable second half but was just good in the first half of the season.  Kobe Bryant is awesome, a great offensive, and good defensive player.  For my money, nobody is better than King James, and we are all witnesses.

  • Unfortunately, if you waited until the playoffs were over, the finals MVP winner would just end up taking the regular season MVP.

    I’ve been thinking about this whole NBA MVP race, and I see a potential problem around the corner! Let me explain! Okay, the big race is for the NBA Defensive player of the Year! The reason I say that is, because it appears to be an award that D-Wade is the favorite to win. Well, if that happens, and he leads the league in scoring, while leading his horrible team to the playoffs, it really creates a problem in naming anyone else the league MVP. As of today, he has more points, assists, steals, and blocks than the other leading candidate! It’s going to be a really tough decision, and I hope the league doesn’t choose to not give him the Defensive player award because they see the potential problem. And, for GOD sakes, don’t pacify him with the Comeback Player of the Year Award to save face. This is definitely going to be an interesting scenario come award time!
