Maybe Lebron really was the MVP this season....and we were simply waiting for the playoffs to roll around to be reminded of his greatness.
Again, yes, I know it's a "regular season" award; not post-season...and Curry deserved this honor....yadda yadda....... that said, just look at how he's put his team on his back (since losing second-in-command Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love).....it's pretty remarkable.
I figure Lebron could give a flying rip about the MVP award any more......odds are the only thing he's interested in is chalking up Win # 16 in the playoffs and hoisting that championship trophy. And I have to believe that's the stance a true leader would take at this point in their career.
looking ahead, I'm not sure if his efforts alone will be enough to tally 4 W's vs the Warriors (I assume this is going to the the championship series)....anyways, it's been a helluva a show so far watching him will his Cavs teammates to the Finals.....

Yeah, I know he's won it numerous times before.....but there's no denying the immediate impact he's had on the Cavs since his return.
He's gotten Cleveland back into the playoffs for the first time since taking his talents to Miami. Should he be the catalyst that gets the Cavs to the Eastern Conference championship....or beyond......isn't that what a Most Valuable Player award should be about?
It pisses me off that ESPN (from practically game one of the regular season) feels it's their duty to tell everyone who THEY believe the MVP should be. The talking heads chatted up Westbrook, Curry and Harden weekly as if no one else in the NBA was doing a damned thing to help their team win games.
Hell...the fact OK City didn't even make the playoffs tells me everything I need to know about how valuable Kevin Durant is to that team. Even though he missed most of the season perhaps he's just as deserving to be this year's winner (again).
