One of the most athletic point guards to ever do it. I definitely enjoyed watching him play that MVP season. I’m going to go the other way though and say that he didn’t deserve the MVP that year. He won because they didn’t want LeBron to keep winning every year. When they met in the playoffs, LeBron shut Rose down hard and showed who the real MVP was.
Can't hate on that take. Pretty much any year lebron has been in the league after his first couple of years ypu can make the argument for him. Just think he was a fresh new look in the NBA which probably swayed some voters. My favorite point guard to watch besides AI.
That is definitely something Lebron had to fight so many times in a row. Lebron could have like 6-7 MVP's by now looking at the stats and what he did, probably even more. This dude turns a team that would normally tank, into a team that will go to finals, so it's clear that we are going to see Lebron deserving a lot more, but you can't just keep giving MVP to same player every single season.
From his first stint at Cavs, to his Miami years, to his second stint at Cavs, dude could have won as much as 10 if you just sway a little bit to him. But MVP (unlike ballon) is given to different players very frequently, people dislike giving it to same person too many times in a row, and they do two in a row at best, then start looking for others.
