This just in: LeBron James does NOT deserve to win the NBA MVP. The definition of a MVP player (in my opinion) is one who elevates the play of others on his team and also consistently delivers in the clutch. Having watched LeBron 30 times this year, that just isn't happening. He takes way too many wild shots. He holds the ball much too often. The other players on the team go into a wide eyed daze whenever he has the ball and they refuse to move. He is only hitting about 65% of his free throws in the past month. He plays lacidasical defense.
On the plus side he has all the ability in the world, all he has to do is work at his deficiencies. If he worked on his free throw shooting he would improve. If he worked on his defense he would improve. There's no doubt in my mind that the sky is the limit for him, but it appears that he gets into a zone where he feels comfortable being the player he is now. That little bit is what seperates him from being Michael Jordan. Maybe it's just because he's 21. Who knows. Right now though, he's not the MVP.
