The man known as the “chosen one” or “King James” is this year’s winner of the prestigious MVP award that the NBA hands out each year. It’s not easy being the Most Valuable Player in the NBA with all the great talent that is out there right now. It was a tough vote this year and I figured Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers would get it this year. Kobe did lead his Lakers Team to the League’s best record. The Western Conference teams play a tough schedule and it was impressive that Kobe Bryant could lead his team to the best record in the Western Conference and still have a better record than any teams from the East.

Dwayne Wade was the NBA leading scorer this year and he deserved some consideration for MVP this year. I think Bryant or Wade would have been a better choice, but voters didn’t see it that way. LeBron James did lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a great record this year and they are one of the best teams in the East right now. I know LeBron James is a great player and he has a lot of fans and support out there. I just don’t think this was his year and tough to award a guy the MVP Award in the NBA when his team doesn’t have the best record or the fact he didn’t lead the NBA in scoring. The wins and scoring are two big stats that usually get awards, but not in this case. His name seems to be on everything from shoes to a men’s dress shirt.

LeBron James is the first Cavalier to win a MVP and it is nice to see the voters in the big markets recognize his talents. The sports markets in New York and Los Angeles are huge and they usually get their way in these type of voting awards. Miami isn’t as big, but they are much more recognized than the city of Cleveland is in the sports world. I do like the fact the Cleveland Browns and the NFL let LeBron appear in a commercial wearing a Brown’s uniform. That is a great commercial and LeBron’s popularity does travel outside the borders of the NBA and he’s known in all sports and around the world.
