NBA & King James

ORL/BOS

Orlando was up 28 points in the 2nd half but was lucky enough to hold off the C’s and won 95 to 90. Boston just doesn’t appear to have the energy to compete in this series; thanks Chicago. Dwight Howard had 16-22, Paul Pierce finished with 23 JJ Redick finished with 12 and 4 clutch FT’s. Expect My Magic in 6 to take this thing to Cleveland and upset the world!!! We're winning the East.

HOU/LA

The Lakers were 4-0 against the Rockets in the regular season, and none of it mattered last night. Shane Battier need stitches. Yao got his knee ran into by Kobe and had to go to the tunnel, never made it to the locker room. The Lakers are supposed to be in the Finals, but apparently the Rockets didn’t get the memo. Yao finished with 28/10, Ron Artest finished with 21 and The Black Mamba finished with 32. I'm still expecting the Lake Show in 5 - tough?

LEBRON MVP JAMES

LeBron James was named MVP of the NBA on yesterday and accepted the award at St. Vincent’s High School, where his journey started. He finished with 109/121 1st place votes. (D Wade got 7, Kobe got 2, Dwight Howard got 2, CP got 1) He received a trophy and a car, which he donated to charity.

King James led the Cav’s to a franchise best 66-19, 39-2 at home. He averaged 28-7-7 and also finished 2nd in Defensive Player of the year voting; most dominant 2-way player since MJ?

He’s the 7th player in history to get Rookie of the Year AND MVP Honors: (Larry Bird-80-3, MJ-85-5, D. Robinson-90-1, Shaq-93-1, AI-97-1, T. Duncan-98-2, LBJ-04-1) Kobe never won Rookie of the Year.

I agree with LBJ being voted this years MVP, he was the best player on the best team in basketball. I do understand the argument for the Black Mamba though. King James only took ONE serious loss at home (2 if you count the end of the year loss to the 6ers when no starters played) and that was to who? King Kobe.

But when you think about the most dominant force in the NBA at this time, you have to say King James. And if he weren’t a Cavalier, they wouldn’t even be in the playoffs, much less 60+ wins! King Kobe may not’ve been as high a seed without Kobe, but with Lamar, Pao, Fisher, Phil, Bynum, I think they would at LEAST make the playoffs.
