LeBron James basically sat out the last two games of the season and still made a solid case to win MVP. James has been the best all around player this year and led his team to the playoffs for the first time since the 1997-98 season. The statistics LeBron has posted are almost mind boggling for a 21 year old.
After reviewing the candidates, James should have the MVP locked up. The apprehension writers had because he’s only 21 years old were answered when LeBron ended the season strong and carried Cleveland to the playoffs. Kobe Bryant, the only other possible candidate, is really more of a scorer. The Lakers are barely making the playoffs and Kobe is playing more one dimensional this year than anytime in his career. Kobe can have the scoring title, while LeBron receives the MVP award.
