"I'm the blueprint, I'm like the map for 'em..."

Jay-Z - A Star Is Born

Last year LeBron James won his first league MVP, and this year the celebration had a familiar ring to it, with the reigning King adding another trophy to his basketball resume.

Stepping Stone

The media have spoken...as it is evident that the best player in the league is LeBron R. James, however if you speak with him, he'll tell you that he couldn't have accomplished winning back to back MVP's without his team, and family. He'll also mention that he would like to win as many NBA titles as possible...so much so that it literally drives him to play no matter the situation.

Coincidentally he is playing with an elbow injury that could potentially alter his championship dreams. The Cavs/Celtics series is a match up of really good, veteran laden teams, and while LeBron's elbow adds a new wrinkle, I expect this one to go the 7-game distance. That's just my opinion, because I feel that the Celtics are a much better team than they get credit for. Nevertheless, this story is about the MVP...as James is the current face of the NBA, now and for years to come. In the past I would often say that the league is in good hands once Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, and Tim Duncan retire, however the changing of the guard happened a lot sooner than I thought...the change is very good.

LeBron is a stand up guy, and has always treated me with respect. I look forward to watching his success and legend build...and as the questions arise, of will he stay in Cleveland or go...I understand that basketball is a business and he will do whatever is best for him, his family, and brand.

Congratulations Bron Bron!
