LeBron's MVP

If LeBron had the choice to vote for MVP, you know who he would pick? It is not the talk of the whole race Stephen Curry or James Harden. Even though Curry said he would of vote for LeBron if he could not vote for himself. But, it looks like Curry and LeBron are not that different after all. LeBron said he would vote for himself as season MVP. LeBron is playing the fewest minutes out of his career, 36 minutes per game. LeBron's player efficiency rating is currently 26.0, which is his lowest mark since 2007. According to the comparison though, James Harden has a 27.0 player efficiency rating, and bad man Stephen Curry has a 27.6 player efficiency. LeBron's first season back with the Cavaliers should be his reason why he should win MVP right? He took two superstars who never been to the playoffs into the playoffs as a second seed! So, should he be the season MVP? To be honest, I do not think he should win MVP. The MVP is Stephen Curry or Russell Westbrook. Why do one of these two deserve it? Well, first, LeBron has veterans like James Jones, Mike Miller, Shawn Marion, Timofey Mozgov, J.R. Smith, and Iman Shumpert. Does LeBron deserve MVP for taking a team with 6 veterans to the Playoffs? These six have playoff experience. Really, only Kyrie, Love and Thompson have not been to the playoffs. Stephen Curry deserves it in my opinion. He is putting up big numbers, not only in points, but also assists. The only thing that makes him weak in this MVP race is his defensive skills. You look at all the Stephen Curry highlights, it is just MVP type of playing that you see. He deserves it. Golden State cannot win without him. There was this one game where Stephen Curry sat out with an ankle injury, and Klay Thompson was still playing. The other Splash Brother, could not get the win without Stephen Curry. So, Klay is not a big reason why Stephen Curry has been looking good and racking up assists. Straight up Golden State is nothing without Curry. As for Westbrook, he is a triple double machine. To be honest he should be the number one talk or spot of the race. He has recorded 11 triple double this season. 11! The only reason why he is not number one is because he cannot win games putting up those triple doubles. Westbrook needs Durant to help him win games. Durant out for the season, Thunder losing games. They are out of the playoff picture too, so that automatically counts Westbrook out of the race? I do not know. The media are the voters. It is the peoples choice. Just pick the person who you think deserves it.
