Without Question, LeBron Is League's Best Player

Submitted by Albert, Mar 7, 2008 15:09

This Hollinger guy bases all his bias on stats. If LeBron deserves the MVP for simply having the best statistical season, why didn't Kobe win for having a 35ppg avearge? If LeBron was doing this and had the record to show for it, I wouldn't argue. LeBron will probably win many MVP's to come, but not this year. This year is the year of the Mamba, the best player to never win an MVP award will finally get his this year
