http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playof...ory?id=4135263
The NBA will announce LeBron James as its MVP on Monday, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland and Associated Press have reported, citing unnamed sources.
A day before the Cleveland Cavaliers begin their second-round series against the Atlanta Hawks, the league will anoint James, 24.
The announcement will be made at James' alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, the reports said. The Cavaliers called a news conference for 4 p.m. ET but didn't specify the nature of the event.
His Cavaliers teammates were expected to attend.
James, whose Cavaliers swept the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, averaged 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists during the regular season, his sixth in the NBA, in which Cleveland won a team-record 66 games and earned the top overall seed in the playoffs.
The Cavs host Atlanta on Tuesday after the Hawks finished off the Miami Heat in Game 7 of their first-round series Sunday.

LOL.
He deserves it. My horse in the race, Kobe, had a lesser record and less stellar stats.
Kobe does have a better supporting cast, but he was responsible for at least putting pressure on them to make themselves better.
Still, there is that little curse of the MVP award that give me hope. No one has won a championship in the year they won the MVP for awhile now. At least back to Karl Malone.

Lebrick is a good player but I think until he gets a big name supporting him like a Gasol or something of that nature or better center he get a ring until the then hes just going to have career nights like Kobe post shaq and before gasol

Team Owner
I would've voted it
1. Wade
2. LBJ
3. Kobe
I'm in the group that goes with individual stats over team record. Wade's stats were superior overall individually both offensively and defensively.
