Triple Double for Lebron too much for Blazers

Lebron had 24 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds last night vs. the Blazers and showed once again why he should be this year's MVP. It was Lebron's 7th triple double this season, and 17th of this career.

Lebron leads Kobe in every major statistical category (pts, rebs, asts, stls, blks, FG%) and has less turnovers per game. His also supporting cast a great deal worse than Kobe's. These are the two main reasons Lebron is this year's MVP. The Lakers are winning %12 more games than the Cavs this year, but I guarentee if Kobe and Lebron were not on their respective rosters, the Lakers would win way more than 12% more than the Cavs. If that is not proof enough that Lebron deserves the MVP I don't know what to say.

The MVP in recent years has seems to be more about "the best player on the best team" and less about "the most valuable player". From wikipedia:

"The award is decided by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Voting is done by 125 members of the media;[1] three from each of the 30 NBA cities and the rest a mix of national writers and broadcasters. Since the 1982-83 NBA season, only players from teams with 50 or more wins have won the award, all but assuring that the MVP will be from a playoff-bound team."

I hope these so-called sportswriters smarten up and realize who the most valuable player to his team is. Right now the Cavs are only on pace to win 47 games which doesn't help Lebron's cause.

The new "Race to the MVP" article was posted today, and Kobe is erroneously at the top. I am amazed at how stupid some sportswriters can be. The only thing Kobe has going for him is his team record, but alas, I guess that is what the once-coveted MVP award has become, the MVPOTBT.
