AP: Lebron to win 4th NBA MVP Award

 

 

 

A 4th NBA MVP award is not a question to Miami Heat's Lebron James.

 

He lead Miami Heat to league's best 66-16 with a 27 game winning streak. James averaged 26.8 points, 8 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.7 steals and shot a career-high 56.5 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from three-point land this season.

 

His stiff competition includes Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant, Clippers' Chris Paul and New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony.

 

Winning his 4th NBA MVP Award will allow Lebron to join NBA greats by being just one of the five NBA players winning the MVP Award 4 times: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (six), Bill Russell (five), Michael Jordan (five) and Wilt Chamberlain (four).
