LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
LeBron is 2nd on the MVP ladder. If he has 2 or 3 monster games in the remaining games, I think it could be the push he needs to win MVP. But I'm talking big time games. Like dropping 50 or 40 point triple double. Or if Warriors didn't get the 1 seed but they probably will.

I think it is pretty much a 2 man race right now. I don't think Harden is in it, we will see how far Houston drops. Westbrook might be ahead of Harden or close behind, but he really doesn't stand a chance not even potentially being in the playoffs or just getting the 8th seed.

I don't know, my money is probably still on Steph as of right now, but LeBron is just as deserving if not more so. I'm more worried about getting that ring anyway, but MVP is fun to talk about.

It's a season award. LeBron was good the first 40 games of the year, but not great. That all still has to factor in when talking MVP. I don't see anyway he passes ahead of Harden or Curry at this point.

As far as Harden and Houston goes...they're still better than Cleveland. Over the entire season Harden has been better than LeBron and is still on a better team.

EDIT: I'm also not sure why Davis isn't getting way more pub for MVP. They're currently in the playoffs. If they were in the East they'd be in, easily, and he's been the best player, statistically speaking, all season.

If I were ranking it right now I'd have it 1. Curry 2. Harden 3. Davis 4. LeBron 5. Westbrook.

LeBron changes his freethrow routine as often as he changes his underwear. He's back to the classic lean really far forward with his back bent before rising up. For awhile there he experimented with that really straight posture. When that went south he added that weird pump dip motion to it. If he still has mixed results with his old school lean forward mechanics, I would like to see him turn his feet at the free throw line. He likes to square both of his shoulders at the line with both feet pointed at the rim. The issue is he shoots most of his shots from the field with his feet turned (whether he realizes this or not). Having your feet turned allows you to have your shooting elbow more aligned with the hoop, instead off off to the side if your square your shoulders. Every coach in the world and TV analyst will tell you to square your shoulders, but I think it is wrong, and very few good shooters actually do this.

I love how the guys not the team are coming together and building their chemistry. Soon they'll be as close as those 09-10 teams (the dancing, the "baseball games," the pre game photoshoots like in my avi, etc).
 
Is it just me or did this dude add 20 pounds of muscle in the last 2 months. He looks jacked. I think he's started bulking up for the playoffs.
 
I've said it all year, sometimes to heavy criticism, Kyrie has become a better scorer than LBJ. Not necessarily a better player, but, the dude can score better than 99% of NBA players right now.

Kyrie is not even close to the scorer Lebron is. Lebron is half assing it and is scoring 26 ppg on 49% fg. Irving is scoring 22 ppg on 46% and Lebron takes up more defensive attention on top of this.

Kyrie is really good. No lie but considering defenses game plan specifically for LeBron and he still averages 27 for his career is crazy. Just watching a game you'll see all eyes on him allowing Kyrie especially to have one on one matchups. Kyrie is unstoppable in iso

Hustoun is better? Even without Kyrie the only reason Cavs lost was because Lebron choked on FT's... with Kyrie Cavs would have beaten them by double digits(10-15)
 
At this point we know he won't get mvp

We just want him to finish top 3 to up his legacy

He's at #2 now, harden hasn't done shit different this season than last.
 
Curry will win the MVP even if he'll average 5 points 1 assist 0 rebounds and 10 turnovers from now to the end of the season... it's pretty clear at this point. Hes the NBA poster boy this season
In Lordstown it starts with a roll of steel. It goes through the presses, bad steel cracks under the stress but good steel makes it through. A little spot welding and bingo, a shiny new door for your team vehicle.
I think too many are hating on LeBron for that union thing though. He brings the players together. Barkley needs his cigarette now.

He's playing defense for the first time in his life and kept them in the top 3 in an improved west without Dwight for most of the year.
