Lebron is a much more complete offensive player and on the defensive end there is no comparison.  Lebron is the best player in the NBA so I have no problem with him winning the MVP.

I had to bring this perception that the messiah is a stellar defensive player back up.

When I'm listening to the "experts" talking about how much the Heat miss Bosh defensively.  They pretty much universally say that it's forcing the messiah to cover David West in the post...And calling it a mismatch

West is smaller than the messiah....Not in the same time zone athletically...And the messiah can't cover him one-on-one in the post?

One or two spectacular steals and dunks do not make a great defensive player.

He's done a pretty good job on him in the post. And it is a mismatch because Lebron's playing out of position. Your size doesn't determine your skill set. If Bosh came back and Paul George had to cover him it would be a massacre.

Hard to fault the Lebron selection. Very complete player.
Durant more 2 Dimensional.
