'Pissed me off. That's my true answer.'

To be clear, James, 35 and in his 17th NBA season, had a fantastic season. He averaged 25.3 points, shot 49.3% from the field, 34.8% on 3-pointers and 69.3% from the foul line. He led the league in assists for the first time in his career and collected 7.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. He also led the Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference.

“I'm not going to sit up here and talk about what the criteria should be or what it is,” James said. “It's changed over the years since I've gotten into the league, I know that. You know, it's just changed. It's changed a lot. You know, sometimes it's the best player on the best team. Sometimes it's the guy with the best season statistically. Sometimes, it's changed over the course of my career. I mean, you don't know. You don't know.

“So that doesn't make sense. It's like being MVP of the league but you make second team All-NBA,” James said. “That's when I really started to look at things kind of like differently. I was like, 'how does that even make any sense.' It's like being rookie of the year but you make second team All-Rookie.

Ain’t that just a damn shame, NOT‼️😂😂😂

Heavy is the head who self-proclaims he wears the crown.

Oh, boo-hoo. Anyone on that tally is a great player. MVP is supposed to blow people away and bring up the team. It's not a cumulative award for the ages. It's that season. bittermuch

What a humble man

Huge egos, overpaid, & unwatchable - the NBA

James is lucky he never had to face Dennis Rodman. Rodman would have shut him down. Move to China James.

86 + 16 = 102 not 101.

sellout

Who gives a shit. Whiny multi millionaire!!

Have some cheese with that whine

The NBA is dying

Guess he should retire and go into politics seems more involved there

He’s acting like he is Privileged!

Shouldn’t have alienated half his fan base.

Did he ever reach out to the police chief?

How about China MVP?

He could always try the CBA league in China.

When he sarted, everyone was 'he's gonna be better than MJ23' i was like 'okay, let's see, WE gonna take a look when his career went off' 16 lata toi said if that Jordan career will still on the roc 4ever 🤷🏽‍♂️

Hsd enough of him

People still care about what China tells him to say? Not here.

Why couldn't he just congratulate the winner and leave it at that. Lebron is the guy that apologizes about some thing, but then has to go into the whole, 'but' qualifier. I'm sorry I'm a narcissist asshole, but you know, I'm a pampered coddled billionaire.

What an absolute narcissist. Not an ounce of humility in him. How anyone can like this guy, or how any kid can look at him as an idol/inspiration is beyond me.

That's what happens when you are a POS bLM gang member.

The Lakers were 37-45 last year with LeBron and missed the playoffs. They added Anthony Davis and went 52-19 and were the first seed in the west....So, shouldn’t Anthony Davis be considered the MVP? Is that why LeBron is upset, that AD wasn’t named MVP?

This fool thinks he is the mvp. Hella selfish. To be real Ad is the mvp of the lakers. WITHOUT AD, no playoffs for the butthurt lbj!

G I wish I had a filter that could filter out all sports news because… Who cares?

These are the rantings of a sad little man who believes that his off court social justice crusade should’ve gotten him more votes. He’s straight blaming racism.

Meaningless

Dude's got AD, Dwight Howard, and Rondo behind him. Sounds like he's just not that important on his team. Ouch. They could have put plenty of other players in his spot and done just fine. LeBron is replaceable.

Don't attack him for being angry, it happens to everyone, he is human. If he has to be angry, it should be at himself for his double standard about justice. But if ,when he looks at himself in the mirror, he feels shame then it is a good sign that he's changing. I hope he will.

Maybe he should just be better than Giannis_An34

That's what losers say.. The best player cleaned up and it wasn't KingJames. DPOY MVPx2

Oh no! He’s unhappy. 😢

STFU Mr Poor Rich Me....OMG. Meanwhile in the US thousands get evicted because they cant pay rent or their unemploymt is fkd up. Just saying.. The rich guy isnt happy he's not more popular. Hmmmmm who else does this sound like? 🤔

If only the CCP had votes

Oh, no 😥
