MVP Race

Its the time of the year where the best of the best is chosen by the people. Its time for the defense of player of the year, all defensive team, scoring title, most importantly the M.V.P award. Right now it is for of obvious who will win his fourth MVP award. Lebron was obviously the best player this year. His numbers are just remarkable. In the two games he's played in recently, James shot close to 70 percent, averaged 27.5 ppg, 6.0 apg and 5.5 rpg. His total stats this seasons has spoken for itself.

 He averaged 26.8 ppg, 8.0 rpg, and 7.3 apg, those numbers are crazy. I know the other M.V.P candidates may average more points than Lebron but Lebrons overall stats are just so well balanced and his shooting percentage is crazy. To think he made more than half his shots this, shooting at a outstanding 56.5% this season in total. In my opinion Kevin Durant is the only other candidate that has a chance to get even close to competing with Lebron for the M.V.P award, and Kevin Durant, who is a great scorer and knows how to get buckets, doesn't have the whole overall game as Lebron. He is lacking the defensive aspect to his game, as which Lebron has. If Lebron wins his fourth award, he will join the elite company of Kareem Abdul-Jabber, Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, and Wilt Chamberlain as players who have won at least four MVP award. I know Lebron main goal is to get a ring but it will be nice if he give his fans something to brag about (4 M.V.P awards).

I was watching the show "First Take", and they were arguing about is Lebron James an Hall of fame now in his career. In my opinion he is absolutely a Hall of Fame player now in his career. Lebron has done some amazing things in the past two years. Including saving the Heat from being eliminated from the playoffs in game 6, when he had 45 points. Also to winning a title after 10 seasons in the league and being criticized for every little thing he does. Lebron deserves to be in the Hall of Fame just alone of him handling all the harsh critics and still continued to perform on a high level. Another thing to think of is, the only excuse people said he's not the best is because he didn't have a ring, but now that he does have one why isn't he the best now? Personally I think if you don't think Lebron is a Hall of Fame player now, then you obviously hate Lebron or you just don't watch basketball.

Big Night in New Orleans for Lebron James!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lebron took his frustration from being beat up in the Chicago game and used it to good use. When I say a big night I may be underestimating his performance. He went nuts, hitting 7 3's in the game and hit six shots in a row at one point in the game. He had the opposing fans cheering for him. Check out the video above.

I found two articles  talking about Lebron being fouled excessively in his last game vs. the Chicago Bulls. One article talked about how Lebron is completely right about his frustration about getting fouled excessively. Also it discusses how Eric Spoelstra doesn't want to make a big deal abut it he said " It's just Miami vs. Chicago basketball." The other article talked about how Lebron shouldn't complain about the fouling because he also foul kind of on the aggressive side. The example used was when he got a flagrant fouled called on him when he tried to run over Carlos Boozer when he set a pick on Lebron. In my opinion I think Lebron is totally right. Lebron plays the game the right way and by right way I mean he doesn't really get technical fouls or flagrant fouls. This year Lebron only had one flagrant foul and he only got that one because he was standing up for himself. He also only have 6 technicals this year which is good considering the most technical fouls is 14.
