Remove LeBron from the MVP conversation

[Fireball Jr.]

What an over-rated, over-hyped choke artist. Blows his chance at keeping his 30-pts/60 pct fg streak going, only shoots 58 pct, scores 39 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists on the road against Oklahoma City. Doesn't even hit a last-second game-winning shot. How can you be an MVP and not do that? What a slug.

 

[OrangeTown]

Yes, but now he has a chance to start a new 39 pt/58 pct FG streak!

The excitement starts anew!

But seriously, some of the crazy things and combination of things they keep stats on nowadays is just crazy.

 

[NineOneSeven]

What a coward.

It seems like Lebron started this streak as soon as I said I thought Durant might have a case to win MVP over him

 

[Old hank]

I can't stand the NBA but i watched some of that game last night, Lebron is the man, he is so far above anyone else on the court. He is actually worth watching.

 

[HarrisonJBounel]

He is a phenomenal physical specimen. I would be curious to see how LBJ would perform in, say, the decathlon. Maybe delete the pole vault because that is such a specialized skill. I bet with minimal training, he would do very well.

give Melo single coverage...

 

[DSellers12]

You give Melo single coverage he may score 35+ consistently bit that doesn't say he still shoots over 60% or has 12 boards and 7 assists. There is no denying Melo and Durant for that matter as being unstoppable scorers. however James scores while still playing top level defense and also getting his team involved. I don't care who you are if you start a team right now first person you are picking is the King!!

 

[dundundun]

He really is unbelievable. Such a treat to watch him play.

 

[Knicks411]

There was a stretch where he was just throwing in long jumpers last night. When he does that, just game over. You can't beat him.

 

[HoustonCuse]

The amazing thing is, he is actually setting a good example of how to play basketball. He has been shooting such a high percentage because he hasn't been settling for berserk shots and forcing garbage up at the rim. So many college players try to mimic the absurd moves/shots that NBA players can sometimes pull off. They ought to be modeling their game after LeBron's approach during the streak.
