LeBron James was at his best this season, and the
voters tasked with selecting the NBA's Most Valuable Player took
notice.
Every voter except one, that is.
The NBA still does not have a unanimous MVP, though no one has
come closer than James did this season. The Miami Heat star was
presented with the Maurice Podoloff Trophy for the fourth time in
his career on Sunday after collecting 120 of the 121 first-place
votes, with Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks picking up the
lone remaining top choice.
"It was probably a writer out of New York that didn't give me
that vote," James said. "And we know the history between the Heat
and the Knicks, so I get it."
A panel of 120 sports writers and broadcasters cast ballots in
the NBA MVP voting, with a combined online fan vote also being taken
into account.
Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder finished second, well
ahead of Anthony, who was third.
