LeBron goes back to back MVP
Lol, just read this quote from the Tribune..
Sure, Howard was the reason the Magic finished with the NBA's second-best record (behind James' Cavs).
But to me, anybody who is 24 and has nine cars and a mansion and enough cash to buy an island ... and still cares enough to actually repeat as the Defensive Player of the Year ... that guy warrants the runner-up distinction, if not knighthood.

I wish I could buy an island..


Jules, I think the 'nobody else is ever going to win another MVP award while [X] is around' is probably very common. The same could be said for Kobe a few years ago, Shak before that, and MJ for as long as he wanted to play (sympathy votes to other good players aside).
James will lose a step or two as he ages, and will need to rely on his jumper more. Plus as he gets a better supporting cast around him and his stats inevitably peak or start to decline the votes will go elsewhere.
The NBA always need a new star to put their marketing behind, and keep the interest in the league.

Watch out for Derrick Rose within 4 years. If he had a shooter on the team he would be 20 and 10 already.

What about Kevin Durant, Jules? Especially if the Thunder become a perennial playoff team, and LeBrons' teams don't win any titles? NBA scoring champion in his third season isn't a bad trajectory.

Well done Lebron, now unless you can lead Cleveland to a title this year, that MVP is going to mean....f*** all.

LeBron was the standout pick for MVP and this was never in doubt IMO. Durant a worthy runner up.

Pfft, I would have put Melo and Wade above Kobe this year.
Melo had a breakout year and Wade does what Lebron does; he just plays on a crap team.
Shame too that Steve Nash didn't rate higher either.
