He definitely deserved it, IMHO.

...Unlike Kobe last season...

I think the only other guy who should have been in consideration was Wade.  Lebron is a deserving choice.

He deserved it.  Congrats LBJ!
Okay, now back to bashing every other team and player other than the Celtics....

Even if you agree with the league's definition of "most valuable", you must really, really dislike Kobe to not acknowledge the heavily documented fact (by the media) that this MVP "race", in lieu of Wade's scoring title, was between LeBron and Kobe.

That said, LeBron might be the first guy I can remember that if I think about "how good is this team without this one guy" actually meets my own personal definition of MVP.  Cleveland wins maybe 10 games if they don't have LeBron.

I still can't stand the guy.
God bless and good night!

As pysically sick as it makes me to admit it, this year, it was a no-brainer really.  Without the Crab, Cleveland struggles to make the playoffs.
