Deserves it. Should have been MVP last year too.

Good for him, congratulations Lebron. This serves as a testament to your hard work and natural gifts.

I'm not the biggest fan of his play style, which is by most people's accounts power and finesse, because I'm more naturally drawn to the competitiveness of MJ/ Payton/ Westbrook types, but he is still certainly worthy of this. His talents are undeniable.
