LeBron: I'm pissed off about only getting 16 votes for MVP, always finishing second

Before the Lakers' 126-114 Game 1 win over the Denver Nuggets to tip off the Western Conference finals, the league announced the MVP voting for the 2019-20 season on Friday, and James came in second to the Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo.
"Pissed me off. That's my true answer," James said after pumping in 15 points with 12 assists in the series opener. "It pissed me off, because out of 101 votes, I got 16 first-place votes. That's what pissed me off more than anything.
"You know, not saying that the winner wasn't deserving of the MVP. But that pissed me off. And I finished second a lot in my career, either from a championship, and now four times as an MVP."
James was referencing his NBA finals record of 3-6, a winning percentage that often gets brought up as the first thing separating him and Michael Jordan, who was 6-0 in the championship round.

In his twisted mind I’m sure it’s racism.

James finished second to Marc Gasol for Defensive Player of the Year in 2012-13 -- the year James won his fourth MVP -- and he said it still perplexes him.
"I had a chance to be Defensive Player of the Year and also MVP in the same season," James said. "And that year Gasol was Defensive Player of the Year, but he made second-team All-Defense, OK. So that doesn't make sense. It's like being MVP of the league but you make second-team All-NBA. That's when I really started to look at things kind of like differently. I was like, how does that even make any sense?"
Like him or not but he's right about how the voting is all over the place at times.
Also had a good point on the Most Improved award voting.

The media today gets too cute with the awards.
Shaq only won it once but for a six year stretch he was clearly the best player in the NBA.
Steve Nash has as many MVPs as Shaq and Kobe combined. That is how stupid the voting is.

Hey Lebron, I don’t care. You’re a chode.

The media should not be voting on the MVP. I mean why in the hell do journalists get to decide something like that? They’re mostly idiots.
They should have some sort of independent committee that takes these awards very seriously and looks beyond media narratives. Smart, educated basketball people who understand both statistics and on-court basketball.

He literally has a teammate that averages more points, rebounds, steals, and blocks than him.
But yes the world is out to get you Lebron.

Boo hoo you retarded, racist piece of shite. Frick you.

Sounds like an entitled cry baby. I am the best so I am entitled to it. Tell you what buddy, go out a dominate every single night in both ends like MJ and the voting will take care of itself.

He’s not even the best player on his team
Imagine saying your the goat and being a passenger

"He deserves it," Anthony Davis said. "What he's been able to do for our team, the things he's been doing individually, on a consistent basis, night in, night out, just it's not even a question who deserves it."
The numbers back up Davis' endorsement. L.A. was a plus-173 in 862 minutes with James on the court without Davis in the regular season. In the 677 minutes L.A. played with Davis on the court without James, the Lakers were a minus-29, according to research from ESPN Stats & Information.

hg thought pandemic P was near Lebron's level. Just remember that any time you see him in an NBA thread.

In your twisted mind you think everything is racist.
Posted on 9/19/20 at 8:08 am to DownSouthCrawfish
Sorry your lord and savior didn’t get the MVP that he and you thinks he so deserves.
