I'll just leave this here...

ESPN has impeccable design sensibility

Only reason ESPN did this was so all the pictures would match and everything would be symmetrical.  This IS NOT the way the actual MVP voting is going to go.

Casual Pregame Warmups

Skip to 0:35.  Nothing to see here, just Bron coasting through the layup lines.  I'm pretty sure that's an actual move from NBA Street.  Unreal.

PS - LeBron's PER for the month of February is 37.  37!  Check his shot chart from the last month. 

Ho Hum, Just Another Night for Bron

As BronBron led the Heat to their 6th straight win, he coincidentally set an NBA record by scoring 30+ points on 60%+ shooting in his 6th straight game.  He is 60 for his last 80 shot attempts (75%).  Just let that sink in for a bit.  Going to be hard to deny him another MVP if his game stays at this level. 

BronBron goin off

First, let's start with those highlights from yesterdays matchup against the Lakers.  Tight game up until the 4th quarter, where LA started turning the ball over, Miami got running, and Bron put up a couple ridiculous dunks.  Just completely ran away with the game.  That finishes a week that saw Miami handily beat Houston, the Clippers and Lakers in succession.  At 8-2 in their past 10, on a 5 game streak, Miami is starting to round into form coming up on the All Star break.  The biggest reason for that?  Yup, LeBron.

As has been widely reported, in his last 5 games he's averaging 31 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.5 steals, while shooting 71% from the field, and 77% from three.  Those are video game numbers.  At least 30ppg on 60% shooting for 5 games has happened two other times in NBA history, and not for 30 years.  It's almost impossible to be playing better basketball than that.  The game against OKC on Thursday should be great. 

Also, this is awesome:

Reggie Evans is Not Impressed

Today, Reggie Evans (he of career averages of 4pts and 7rebounds) took time in an interview to state that he was unimpressed with LeBron and his sidekicks winning the title last year.  "It doesn't prove nothing. That was a lockout season." He went on to say "LeBron is no different from Joe Johnson or Andray Blatche. No different." 

I guess there's not much reason to spend time debating the comments of a player who has averaged about 19mpg for 7 different teams over the years.  We could talk about the fact that LeBron is 16-0 lately against the team formerly known as New Jersey, or that the Heat have beat the Nets by a combined 43 points, or that he has at least 20 points in 19 straight games against NJ.  Instead, let's just watch that game last year where BronBron scored 17 straight in the 4th to beat NJ. 




Also, saying it "doesn't count" because it was a lockout year?  Please.
