5 reasons why LeBron James is the 2017-18 NBA MVP

LeBron James

Russell Westbrook won the league MVP award last season, Stephen Curry won it twice before that and Kevin Durant gave the emotional acceptance speech when he won it in 2014. James hasn't been named league MVP for the past four seasons but we all know that he has been the best player in the league not just for that time span but for the last decade or so.

But everybody has faults, right? Till last year, the case against James was still not having a reliable long-range jumper and his free-throw shooting. James even took care of that by adjusting his shooting motion in the 15th offseason of his career and this was done without any shooting coach. Yes, he made the change all by himself and the results are there to be seen.

When you are as dominant and successful as James is, you are bound to have haters. The other argument was "can he do it without Kyrie".

With Isaiah Thomas yet to make his return, James has played this season without a dominant No. 2 on the team but looks like he never needed it in the first place because the results speak for themselves.
