Whether you are a professed "Witness" or merely a casual observer, you have to respect the work that "The King" has put in this season. In the poetic words of my 2nd favorite rapper of all- time " You Can't Knock The Hustle". James has catapulted the once abysmal Cavaliers from collective Zero's to Hero's. From his much anticipated arrival into the league in 2003, the then 18- year -old made his presence felt early and often. The season prior to James's arrival the Cavaliers flaunted a record of 17-65, making them the worst team in the NBA. James quickly erased any doubt of his ability, as he led the team to an impressive 18 game turnaround, as the Cavaliers narrowly missed the playoffs. Along the way, he graciously snatched up R.O.Y. honors (Rookie of the Year). Since his arrival, the Cavaliers have progressively won more games in every year but one. James has done nothing but build to his legend, making the All-Star game every season after his rookie season, and winning two All-Star M.V.P's, two conference final appearances, one NBA Finals appearance, and was a catalyst on the Redeem Team that took the gold in Beijing.
I say all that to say this. In my humble opinion ,the MVP trophy is not won in a single season. It takes a track record of excellence to even be mentioned. James has not only solidified his name, but has captured the attention of fans domestic and abroad.
Statistically. We are not even gonna go there. You already know the numbers. Oh and the defensive intensity that once had people second guessing his K.I. (Killer Instinct), James has looked like a volleyball player this year, as he has repeatedly spiked and pinned unsuspecting players shots to the glass. Simply put, James has the most complete body of work of any player in the league, but don't let me tell it, the proof is in the pudding.
