All of them deserved. You can hate but that doesn't mean he did not deserve every single one of them. 3 MVPs and I gotta feeling he'll add another one by the end of the post season (I hope so)!

Melo should have 2 MVPs at least. And Shaq only one? Disgusting.

MVP is a regular season award. How many Finals MVPs does he have?

It's not that, it comes down to who was the comp in that era. How many MVP's are Shaq and Hakeem going to win when MJ is around even when they are in there prime?
Lebron was winning his MVP's when guys like Shaq, Duncan, Garnett were not in there primes anymore. That changes quite a bit if he comes in the league 3-4 years earlier.

How can anyone deny LeBron is not deserving of the regular season most valuable player award?
there is no need to put down other players

Lebron certainly deserved the MVP award but it's ludacris to think that shaq and Kobe shouldn't have won more than 1 MVP in their careers. Shaq is the most dominant player in the history of the nba and Kobe is the most skillful twoway player in the nba since Michael.

Kobe wasn't the best player in the NBA very often at all though.
