Will the NBA hesitate to give Lebron the MVP because he already has 4?

[Lefty Gunz]

The part about Barkley. Chuck turned the suns around that year.
They went from a mediocre team to an contender overnight. They had the best regular season that year and barring injuries, they probably would ve sonned the bulls in the finals.

They won 53 games the year before Barkley arrived

 

[ManBearPig]

this happened to MJ

we all know karl malone is an all time great but that 1st mvp he won was because motherfukkers got tired of voting 4 MJ

The Jazz did win 64 games. Malone should have won it in 98 tho.
Barkley Suns won more with KJ missing a chunk of season.

But of course the Bulls had everybody's best shot that season.

Curry, Westbrook, Harden > Bron for MVP this year

I find it hilarious that Durant won MVP last year and people think Westbrook & Harden could be MVP over Lebron.

Lebron beat all 3 of those guys in the Finals at the same time when Harden was on the Thunder.

Has absolutely nothing to do with who deserves the MVP award for THIS season.

Don't get me wrong, Rose had a great season & an MVP level season, but Bron completely changed the culture of a mediocre Miami team into a championship contender overnight

Bron had better stats that season too: Bron 27 ppg, 8 reb, 7 ast vs. Rose 25 ppg, 8 ast, 4 reb plus he beat Rose in 5 in the ECF. Seems pretty obvious

So LeBron puts up worse numbers than in his previous 2 NBA seasons, teams up with 2 All Stars, his team has a worse record than his Cleveland teams (meaning they didn't meet expectations), they finish second in the East, while getting swept by Rose's Bulls in the regular season, and LeBron deserved the MVP? Not to mention during Rose's MVP season, both Boozer and Noah missed a significant amount of time.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Man this is bullshyt Barkley deserved it just as much as Durant did.

Suns had the best record in the league with Chuck averaging 26/12/5

5 more wins than the Bulls. Knicks had a better record that season to.

Chuck deserved that one

Not to mention D Wade was still a top 5 player in 2011 and outplayed Lebron on many occasions that season

[Rigby.]

They only lost one game with LeBron out there during this stretch correct?

they beat the hell out of OKC and GSW correct?

18 outta 21 or something like that correct?

42 points correct?

Westbrook putting Black Mamba efficiency out there on the court correct?

Curry got Thompson correct?

Give that man a MVP

LeBron's stats were slightly better than Rose's in the categories you mentioned. 2 more ppg and 4 more rpg than a PG as a SF isn't impressive. Efficiency has never been a true factor in the MVP discussion.

You also fail to acknowledge that the MVP is generally given to the best player on the best team. That year, CHICAGO had the best record in the league (62-20). And Rose was undoubtedly the best player on that team. In fact, the Bulls won 4 more games than the Heat. Simply put, Rose deserved MVP over LeBron that year.

The Warriors now have the best record in the league. Steph Curry is the best player on that team. MVP will most likely go to Curry, meaning LeBron misses out again.

The only other player who deserves MVP consideration in my opinion is James Harden for BALLING OUT (27ppg, 7apg, 6rpg) and carrying the Rockets to 3rd place in the West (WITHOUT Dwight for an extended period of time).

So you're downplaying Lebron having more reblunds because he's a SF but not accounting for the fact that he has just as many assists as Rose?

Lebron was more statistically impressive and was, by far, a better player than Rose. Rose had a feel
Good story and an amazing defense.

The MVP is traditionally awarded to the best player on the team with the best regular season record. Rose was the best player on the team with the best regular season record (Chicago with a 62-20 record). LeBron wasn't. Thus, Rose earned MVP.

Why can't you understand this?

Unfortunately, this is pretty much true accept last year, I think the Spurs had the best record last but they didnt have any "Superstars"

 

[hoodheronova]

This is no discussion it has to go to Lebron. I dont even have to list reasons, its that obvious why

 

[Danie84]

But, he took the first couple months of the season off
