Lebron says Kobe is the MVP
Brian Windhorst from the Beacon Journal Sportswriter wrote this today:
He (Lebron) is in the mix of the MVP race and one of his best friends in the league, Chris Paul, has an excellent chance of winning it in what is expected to be a very close race. Yet James, as he has done numerous times in his career, is deferring to Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant. He didn’t take long to think about it, either.
”I’d give it to Kobe,” James said. ”What he’s done this whole year, to carry that team to the No. 1 team in the West right now. He’s playing his best basketball all around. I’ve watched him the whole year. I saw it last summer when I played with him with USA Basketball and the sacrifices he’s made for the team and he’s done that with the Lakers.”
”I’ve been quoted millions of times saying Kobe is the best player in our league for the last five years,” James said. ”He hasn’t received the MVP. This is his year I think.”
There are many things to love about Lebron James. His game of course being the thing that most stands out. But you have got to respect Lebron James for his willingness to pay respect to the best player in the game, Kobe Bryant. Most guys are too prideful to do that. You don’t see chumps like Dwayne Wade or Steve Nash giving their respect. But here you have perhaps the one guy in the league that measures close to Kobe giving his props and respects. That’s what makes Lebron so great! So you gotta ask yourself, who’s opinion matters more than Lebron James? If king James says you are the MVP you must be the MVP!!!
