It’s official! LeBron James is set to become the league’s most valuable player (MVP).Lebron will accept the award at a press conference at St. Vincent-St. Mary’s High School, his alma mater, at 4 p.m. on Monday. Lebron becomes the first Cavalier to win the award. At 24, he is the second-youngest player to win the award, behind Wes Unseld, who won it at 23 in 1969.
With all due respect to the likes of Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, there was no other possible conclusion to the MVP race. Lebron had a sensational season with statistics that could not be ignored. James averaged 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game this season, leading the Cavaliers in all three categories. His per-36 minute averages — 27.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists — were all career bests.
Lebron rightfully earned his position at number one but many can debate the names of Dwayne “Flash” Wade or a Kobe “The Closer” Bryant for that spot. Congrats King James! We’ll see you in the finals…
