Congrats to LBJ for his 3rd MVP

[k town trash]

from ESPN:

MIAMI -- A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press that Miami's LeBron James will be announced Saturday as the NBA's MVP, the third time he's won the award in the past four seasons.

James

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the results have not been released. James is expected to be presented with the trophy Sunday by commissioner David Stern before Miami hosts Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Indiana.

James will become the eighth player to win the award at least three times, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Moses Malone.

He'll be the first to win as a member of the Heat. James' previous MVP awards in 2009 and 2010 came when he played for Cleveland.

JAMES EXTENDS RECORD FOR LEADING TEAM IN POINTS, REBOUNDS & ASSISTS

From Elias: LeBron James had 29 points, eight rebounds and seven assists -- all team highs -- in the Heat's series-clinching win over the Knicks on Wednesday night. It was the 20th time in his pro career that James led his team outright in points, rebounds and assists in a playoff game. That's by far the highest such total for any player in NBA history. In fact the only other players who did that in at least 10 games are Larry Bird (13) and Tim Duncan (11).

All of the players mentioned here have rings. It will really be embarrassing if dude does not get the ring this year.
