Ahh..
Gotta love it. Debates on tradition intertwined with capitalism to whether we want Bron to get MVP honors. Not bad folks.
First on OSU..we all know most teams change jerseys often and while OSU is not Oregon *cough* Nike, we do like to change up our style. I mean OSU fans have always spent on their team partly cause of mad love, but also cause college football is a religion in Cbus. Remember when the NCAA realized this during the 02-1/3/03 season. 90% OSU fans and 10% Hurricrap fans in Tempe. Not sure the stats but we recorded some off the charts sales that year. Moving on..
I was listening to the Tribe game last night on the radio and man was that awesome. Tom Hamilton sounded as excited as I'd ever heard him. He was jocking Lee (as he should) with every K he racked up. One note here..I was watching Baseball tonight a few nights ago and they said Lee is the best Left Handed Pitcher in the game. I mean..he is good don't get me wrong, but best in the game. Harold Reynolds stepped in to proclaim Randy Johnson as the best, but they all came back to Lee. Interesting. Anyways..back to back last night from Jhonny and Pronk. Insane. Hamilton was about to piss himself. LeAwesome. One woman proclaimed last night on 1100am radio we should give out shirts which say "You've been Pronked" when you enter the Jake. Not sure if that's funny or sad, but I liked it.
Finally, LeBron is King. His second last min shot in recent memory and this time vs. a legitimate team. Thx to sugknight114 for the insane stats:
James has made 19 of 29 field-goal attempts this season in the last two minutes of a one-possession game (66 percent). No other player with at least 25 attempts has made more than half of them. Derek Fisher ranks second at 50 percent (13-for-26).
So onto his interesting debate..Do we want Bron to win MVP honors? Ya know we all do, but I do see his point of not getting it in order to just ignite LeBron that much more for next season...geez can you imagine that. I mean we are all truely in love with the guy now, but I can't imagine..actually it's really scary to think how good this guy from Akron could be. It's also insane to me that he is from Akron and we basically played on all the same courts as him. Well..we can share those stories for a later date.
Anyways..should Bron get MVP now or maybe wait till next year..huh. Either way..Go Cavs vs the Pistons..

Good debate becuase we all know he deserves the MVP this year. Maybe Nash or Dirk, but nobody else is even close.
I want LBJ to win more MVPs than any player before. I do not think being awarded MVP this year will keep LBJ from getting better, more determined or any less dominant in the future. He would be the youngest MVP ever and that record would stand for a long time, considering the new NBA ealry entry guidelines.
LBJ is like Tiger Woods... he likes competition, but he doesn't want to just beat his competition he wants to dominate his opponents. LBJ has said from day one his main goal is to win championship(s). He could care less about the MVP. It really means nothing to him or anyone else. It is just out there to create a story in the media. If LBj were to win MVP this year, I think he would place even more on his shoulders to get better next year because the media will always compare his numbers to the past. LBJ would expect more from himself also, which is unbeleivable when you look at what is doing now.
How much better can he really get? Well, I am not sure but at the same time he has lots of room for improvement. LBJ is going to get better. He has too just because of maturity alone. He is going to become a true assassin... breaking players, defenses and team down at both ends of the floor. Is he the best player in the league today... hell yes. Is he going to be the best player in the league for the next 9 years (he'll still be under 30 yrs old) when most players (like Kobe) don't reach their prime until age 27. LBJ is the MVP in '06 and by the time he retires the award should be renamed "LeMVP!"
Todd, for once, you are right on. I agree with you 100%. MVP is nothing to LBJ. Just a media story, and he's going to be a true competitor till the day he dies. Thank god he's in Cleveland.
To the playoffs and beyond. . .
