An MVP upset for Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant.


An MVP upset for Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant.

In the MVP race kevin durant had the lead for the first half of the season but then Lebron james took over in the second half of the season. The totals for the MVP votes were 1. Lebron james with 86 votes. In second place 2. Kevin durant with 36 votes. In third place 3. Chris paul with 6 votes. Then next in fourth place 4. Kobe bryant with 4 votes. Then in fifth place 5. Tony parker with 2 votes. Quote “ i think Lebron should have gotten less votes and kevin durant should have gotten more votes and should have been MVP”.
When LeBron James took his talents to Miami, I thought that he unofficially and unknowingly disqualified himself  from MVP consideration for the duration of his carrerbecause he elected to play alongside another great player in Dwyane Wade. But much to my surprise, LeBron has strung together another stellar campaign and has himself in line for possibly his third league MVP. He’s mired in a two-man race with Kevin Durant and the two seem to be going back and forth.
But if you ask Durant, he thinks LeBron should win it,

He deserves all the love (for MVP),’ said Thunder forward Kevin Durant. ‘He’s playing phenomenal basketball. I’m just trying to get better every single game and trying to help my team as much as I can. I’m just blessed to be in that conversation. Then for kobe everyone expected him to get more votes because he was in the top 2 for the scoring title.
