Colin Cowherd thinks LeBron James is your NBA MVP

“I’m not sure this league has ever had a single player as valuable as LeBron James.”

Colin’s points:

  • Warriors were favored by 4.5 last night on the road in Portland, it was announced Steph probably wouldn’t play (even though he did end up playing), the Warriors were then favored by 5
  • If the Warriors advance, they will have won two playoff series in the tougher Western Conference essentially without Steph Curry.
  • Cavs 1-5 without LeBron this year in the weaker Eastern Conference
  • Blah blah blah something about the Clippers and Chris Paul
  • MJ was the greatest basketball player of all time. The Bulls went from 57 to 55 wins after he left, almost made the finals. LeBron won 61 before he left. 19 21 24 33 wins in the years following. 53 wins & an NBA Finals appearance the year he came back.

Now I’m not typically a Cowherd guy, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I care more about the near-threatened species of the Eurasian curlew than who won the NBA MVP award, but he’s right on the money with this. Very very very basic logic tells you that LeBron is more valuable to his team than Steph Curry. That is impossible to debate. Does MVP = best player? Is Curry a better player? Those are conversations to be had. Who is more valuable to their respective team is not.

LeBron really does drive a Kia

Is Richard Jefferson’s playoff Snapchat the best thing to ever happen to Bottlegate?

Does a one legged duck swim in circles?

His name is “rjeff24” and you can find documentation of his recent shenanigans here and here.

In his most recent gift to us last night, Richard 1000%/100% confirms that LeBron James does, in fact, drive a Kia. Granted, it’s a Kia K900 that starts at around $50,000, which puts it on par with some of the lower-end Mercedes and BMWs that I found in my 25 seconds of research, but it’s a Kia nonetheless.

I, like Richard, respect the move from Bron. He’s over 30 now, which means he’s officially in the “I know what I like and I don’t want to chance” phase of life. Probably still gets the newspaper delivered every morning because he “likes the feel” of it.

PS Richard could read me bedtime stories every night until the day I die and I still wouldn’t be able to wrap my head around that voice coming from that body

VICE Sports Ride Along with JR Smith

“Hold on. Sorry. This is Bron, excuse me one second. If I don’t answer, he’ll kill me.”

Remember earlier this year when people were questioning LeBron’s leadership abilities? That was fun.

  • Had no clue JR grew up with basically a full NBA roster of siblings. But I do have a pretty good idea which kid would have no problem reaching for that last piece of pizza
  • Guess he used up all his bricks as a kid working for his dad’s construction business
  • 30 for 30 on JR’s time in China? That, I’d watch.
  • “My first tattoo was a picture of me dunking. Well, it was a picture of Vince Carter dunking and I just changed the number and put my name on the back.”

  • He wasn’t kidding about them offering him a shitload of money to play in China. $3 million for 4 months. He only ended up pocketing $1.82 million though, after skipping close to 80 practices and leaving country on occasion without telling the team. Classic JR.
  • Add “drinking cups of plain hot water” to the legend of JR Smith
  • Can’t even be mad about him admitting he was pissed when the Knicks traded him to Cleveland. You can just hear how much he loves New York, and he talks about Melo like LeBron talks about Wade.
  • Appreciate the sentiment at the end about not having to score and only caring about winning, but I think we all prefer fading-away-in-the-corner-hushing-opposing-fans JR.

Oh and PLEASE GOD DO SPACE JAM 2 WITH LEBRON thnx
