Angry White Dude: Don't Fool Yourself

You can and will hate him.

You can say he passes too much or gets every call.

You can say that MJ never lost in a Finals.

You can point out every fault that he may have, but don't you dare fool yourself into thinking that any other player in the NBA is the MVP. 

There is only one.

 

That's right. LeBron James.

  • You've seen him hit the trey at the buzzer in Game 5 against the Pacers to finish with 44 points.
  • You watched him pour in 45 points in Game 7 to close out Indiana.
  • In tonight's Game 1 against the Raptors -- who are favored to win the series -- James range up a 26-13-11 triple-dub as the Cavs eased past Toronto, 113-112, in overtime.

 

Nobody has less help than James.

Don't even start to give that eye roll. You know it's true.

Who has his back this season?

 

OK, who's gonna tell him no?

Other players who pretend to be MVP frontrunners have a ton of help around them. Players who can take over a game and lead their teams to a victory.

You take James off this team, and they don't even make the play-offs.

 

LeBron is the MVP and The Best Player in the World!

It's very early in the playoffs. There's no way to know what will happen with the upcoming games. However, I do know this, and in the back of your mind -- in places you don't let anyone see -- you know it, as well.

 

You can continue to fight it. Make believe it's not true and trash talk the heads on TV and radio are are going to tell you what I'm telling you.

Just don't for one minute think that the MVP of the NBA is anyone other than LeBron James.

Don't fool yourself!
