Don't know if anyone has noticed, but Lebron has actually been having a pretty bad stretch of games lately. I didn't watch all of the game tonight, but there was one point when Mike Breen mentioned he had gone 0-6 after having started 5-6, and for the most part he didn't seem too engaged in the game except for a couple of plays.

The elbow injury is back ! ... Proved once again he has troubles playing through minor injuries

OK.. well I was listening to the ole ESPN folks and they have jumped firmly back on the LBJ for MVP bandwagon again. He had a great game against the Thunder in Miami and hit some big shots (although did go nearly 3 minutes late in the fourth without a basket)...... So.... Does this game put Lebron back in the drivers seat? Was he never out of it? Is it funny that now Wade is being compared to Westbrook?

In my eyes he should have never been out of it. I think the media is just too hesitant to give him his 3rd MVP since they want to the more likable guys to have one under their belt.

^^^^ Not really ... Westbrook is currently closer to KD level than Wade is to Lebron ... Wade has been pretty bad this year when facing superior D ... I hate Lebron and his game is ugly to me but he's MVP this season

Westbrook hate isn't justified this season ...

I actually like LeBron again, thanks to Dwight.

Hate aside, I honestly think Durant is the MVP. He's got his team atop a tough West, while the Heat are not atop the East and the team they're chasing hasn't even had Rose for a ton of games.

The more I have watched the Heat this season the more I think they would be a better team if they didn't have Lebron trying to get 6-7 assists a game. I feel like almost every game(save for a stretch in March) there as been a point where Lebron just decides he wants to score 20 points and he does and there is no stopping it. But with his 'pass-first' mentality you're putting that much more pressure on role-playing shooters to make shots and/or just passing too much in general. Miami isn't a great passing team overall, they live off of drive+kick passing for most of their assists(team-wide) and it just seems like there isn't really any reason they aren't clearly the #1 team in the league with the roster that they have. I think if Lebron went into attack mode more often, they probably would be.

But I haven't watched every game of theirs, I just think Lebron's stat-padding has never been a great thing for any team he is on and when you look at how sickeningly well he can score the ball, it is almost like wasted talent for him to try and be Oscar Robertson every night.

Has DWight made it easier for voters to forgive lebron and give him that 3rd MVP?

I like how you think.... It will be an honor for him to have a 3rd MVP and plain awesome for us to have another Championship!

Tony Parker should be MVP imo... but I have no problem with Durant or LBJ winning his 3rd. well deserved bj from the media

I don't get the thread title. Hate on him for saying that? If Kobe said that we'd say nothing about it. That's what an athlete says there.

LeBron may be the MVP, but I'll still take the Black Mamba over that choking clown any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Parker has really a word in that conversation. But he doesn't have the media behind him. But got to make a case for him on the All NBA 1st team. Wade and especially Rose haven't played enough or good enough to be there. Westrbook is still Westbrick so I guess he can get a sport there.

First team should be Parker - Kobe - James - Durant - Bynum.

Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if they put Paul instead of Parker.... or even if they put Howard over Bynum.

The Frenchman has no press but he has been tearing everyone up with his playmaking and scoring.

I said I thought TP deserves much more MVP consideration but it seems the media already planned on giving it to Lebron this year
