As the end of the NBA season approaches, one question lingers on the mind of all enthusiasts of the game of basketball. The decision to crown the season MVP is made by those involved within the NBA. Whether a coach or a broadcaster, each vote is tallied up and the one who comes out with the most votes at the end wins. Though on the surface it seems fair, many dislike the way people vote as the criteria for the MVP is not truly set in stone.
This year, the two front runners to take home the gold are the Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant and Cleavland Cavaliers LeBron James. Each of them possess unique talents that make them MVP eligible.
Out of Kobe and LeBron, LeBron James seems like a more logical choice more MVP. The MVP is not a team award, it is an award that should be awarded to the best all around player in the league, regardless if the team is good or not. This year, LeBron is having one of his best years both team and stat wise. He is leading his team to the best record in the NBA and is putting up great numbers along the way. Not taking anything away from Kobe but LeBron is playing at another level this year putting him in my books as the clear cut favourite for MVP.
