LeBron needs to let the MVP battle go. He didn’t win it this year, Kobe did and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Stop bitchin’ and whinin’ and runnin’ all over the globe wearin’ dumb @ss t-shirts with stupid slogans like “Check My Stats” and “LBJ MVP”. Let it go. Grow up.

Pop the hood for more pics of LeBron and his shirt in St. Tropez

    He did win the MVP this year, he just didn’t make it to the finals.

  • Plastic007

    he is a sore looser this is wat many of u ahve created he thinks he’s the king ….and he just a guy that can play .. the next Jordan well we will c in time everyone is on his nutts and i think he’s a lame he’s just as bad as kobe ego maniac

  • mizztee

    Kobe the NBA finals MVP and champion! LB is the league MVP–regular season. There is a big difference Lebron!

  • Virgo911

    Thank you TNF…LMAO at posting a story without checking the facts.

  • cookielp

    Y’all know Kobe used to ride that bench when he started back in the day, Lebron didn’t have a chance because he has the whole team riding on him… Oh yea, Shaq got his own championship ring without Kobe his 1st year with the Heat. Look at how long it took Kobe… Put Lebron and Iverson on the same team…

  • anon09

    When you’re a great athlete, you don’t need to remind anyone to “check your stats” or that you are the MVP. Michael Jordan never did that. Tiger doesn’t do it. Lebron is very talented. He just needs to show and prove and shut up and keep it moving. Everybody recognizes his talent. These young cats need a lesson in humility.

  • gina

    well, which one is better, the league MVP or the finals MVP?

  • gina

    i don’t know anything about basketball, so i would like to know.

  • H2O ***THE WATER BOY***

    @ Cookie, ? what are you trying to say LEbron didnt just get in the game he’s had time. If you are trying to day Lebron is the better player you like most people are building a weak case. Look at it from Kobe’s propective: know one can tell me your better that me without a ring reguardless of who’s on your team, hell Jordan had 4 exceptional players on his team to help him. So to all forget STATS it looks good on paper but dosn’t give you a Championship RING Kobe is KING until Lebron gets a RING….

  • beebee

    As you can see the regular season means ish….if I go back and check your stats I see that you haven’t won a ring yet hun…so don’t go reminding people to check your record….your team was sat down by the Magic…..gtfoh!!!! Your a good player, lets leave it at that okay…

  • beebee

    Cosign H2O…and Gina come one which one sounds better…whichever is “final”….that usually means nothing else is after lol

  • Nigga Said

    Wifey can check my stats. I’m an all-star.

  • TheNatural

    JUST LEAVE BRON BRON ALONE!!!!!!!! THE GUY IS LIKE 24 HE’s GOT LIKE 10 MORE YEARS 2 GET A CHIP!!!!!!!!!!! & HE WILL

  • very cute couple!

    What a cute couple! he needs to give jigga some women adive! asap!!

  • TNF

    The NBA Finals MVP was given to the player who played the best for that series. The regular season MVP was given to the player who played the best for the ENTIRE season, Dozens and dozens of games. Not to take anything away from Kobe because he did win the ring and the finals MVP, but don’t minimize Lebron’s accomplishments either.

    Regular Season MVP can be given to ANY NBA Player, thats hundreds of dudes that could win. Being the MVP for the finals decreases the pool to about 20, so the chances of winning MVP in the Finals is WAAAAY higher off the strength that there are less people that you’re up against to win.

    Lebron was up against the ENTIRE NBA League and had to play well for an entire season, consistently. Unforuntately he couldn’t be consistent in the end when it mattered but Kobe winning MVP during the finals wasn’t hard to do, he was only up against his own teammates and the Magic.

    In my opinion as far as degree of difficulty? Its harder to win MVP during the Regular Season, than it is the Finals.

  • http://bossip.com coco

    Yeah Lebron quit acting like a candy ass.

  • BlackFriday

    LJ IS THE LEAGUE MVP!!!! LEAGUE MVP is a better award. That means he was the best in the WHOLE LEAGUE this WHOLE YEAR. Finals MVP only means you were best player out of those 2 teams in that particular serious. You people must be crazy.

  • Amber

    Well said @ TNF!

    I get so sick of ppl comparing Lebron to Jordan. This is a different time, so what if he(Lebron) wears a shirt saying whatever. First of all he’s on vacation with his fam taking a break from basketball. So stop stalking and let him be. He’s a very good role model. He can articulate well and he is a very nice young man. Sue he probably could’ve handled his self differently at the end of the last game against Magic but overall he is a great player and a good guy. Lebron will get his ring very soon and he will probably even stay in Cleveland if they give him a good supporting cast. So chill ppl. He is only human. GOSH!

  • Amber

    Sure*

  • TNF

    @BlackFriday Clearly we are the crazy ones, I said the same thing. Anyone with half a brain would understand this concept LOL

  • sepia830

    I’m pretty sure had the Lakers ended up playing the Cavaliers in the championship, Kobe would’ve been minus the MVP trophy. Let’s face it, Kobe got off easy.

  • BT

    The letters on that shirt look photoshopped to me.

  • Brandy

    That’s right Cookie,put LBJ with Iverson and I bet those beasts with the crazy stats and drive to kill a opponent they would go crazy on somebody ass. LBJ is just like Iverson! He has everything when it comes to awards of course AI has plenty more than he does but a championship is all they dont have! I’m sure AI would bang wit Bron Bron and definitely get a ring! Cleveland yall better catch AI while hes a free agent Go Getm!

  • WhatTheHellEver

    LeBron got a donk!

  • john hope franklin

    we’ll see next year…

  • Young Obama

    How is Lebron hating? He’s almost 10 years younger and is making more money than Kobe (or real close)- Lebron’s time will come.

  • john hope franklin

    who is that chick in the white?
    thicker than alaga syrup…

  • http://dicooper.spaces.live.com/ DICooper

    Kobe is sauce compared to LeBron.

    Moving on…

  • Amber

    LOL ^^^ THAT’S HIS GIRLFRIEND/CHILD’S MOTHER SAVANNAH

  • Mike

    This may come as a shock to you Einsteins, but Lebron is this years MVP.

  • Amber

    Lol I doubt that you’ll get her away from Lebron they’ve been together since high school. But good luck…haha :)

  • PYT

    No matter what the media created this monster now we have to live with it. The bottom line is Baby Boy didn’t get that diamond pinky ring!

  • Kendra

    I completely agree with anon09. There’s no need for him to wear that stupid shirt. MJ didn’t do crap like that. Tiger doesn’t walk around in public wearing his green jackets every day (For you bloggers out there who don’t know what I’m talking about; the winner of the Masters, one of the four major championships in golf, receives a green jacket along with a trophy for winning the ‘ship). Those two guys dominated their respective sports. Lebron still got Kobe leading the pack in the NBA. During the Olympics, Kobe was the second most popular b-ball player over in China behind Yao Ming.

    Winning the league MVP is great, but guys like Barkley, Malone, A.I., Dirk, and Nash have won the award, but no ring. Hell, Nash has won TWO MVPs, but has never been to the Finals. In order for Queen James to be considered in the same elite class with Jordan, Magic, Bird, Russell, and now Kobe; he has to do one thing: win.

  • Nia

    For all y’all hating on Lebron, get ready. No one is going to be talking about anything next year, except for is “he staying or is he going to NY?” Now that Kobe won his title (against a weaksauce team IMO), he’s last year’s “it” girl. He’s Britney in a Lady Gaga world.

  • CF98

    I hope people realize that LeBron isn’t that humble now. That being said its a T-shirt not that big a deal. He’s allowed to wear whatever he chooses. But I agree with bubbaman though that now Kobe and the Lakers winning a title is considered lesser because it wasn’t against the Celtics or Cavs yet I’m sure had they lost you would’ve told a different tale.

    If Orlando is so awful how come they managed to beat down Lebron’s team so handily? I mean the Cavs couldn’t beat the Magic but the Lakers could? Yet the Cavs were supposed to be the team to beat?

    Yeah sure..

  • west

    he did win 2009 MVP

  • Ajai5277

    i like Maverick’s shirt better…

  • Bringthanoize

    Why won’t LBJ wife up that beautiful young lady?

    We all know, I believe, that he already has a baby by an older white chick who used to be affiliated with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

    Man up LBJ, ditch the Masonic homie JayZ and wife her up fam!!

  • Amber

    What @ Bringthanoize

    “We all know, I believe, that he already has a baby by an older white chick who used to be affiliated with the Cleveland Cavaliers.”

    Um that’s not true….

  • shaun

    SOUND LIKE WHO EVER WROTE THIS ARTICLE GOT A LOT OF HATE IN THE BLOOD FOR LEBRON JAMES HE MIGHT NOT HAVE WON THE CHIP BUT HE STILL DID GET MVP SOHE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANT I SEE IF HE DIDN’T GET IT

  • H3GOTGAM3

    D Wade needs that shirt because he got the scoring title and should have gotten the MVP award

  • ally

    yeah for real leave lbj alone! he is the mvp this year! hes still an amazing bballer and he can do what he wants! hes not being a baby, hes being real hes one of the best basketball players ever and hes got the money and stats! love you lebron!!!

  • http://twitter.com/misshawaii618 mrswatson

    also, had the shoe been on the other foot and Kobe walked around with that shirt on, everyone would have contributed that to him being arrogant! but its OK for LBJ to do so?

  • tg

    Too funny – well it’s his perogative to brag or not – guess he chose to brag. Hey nothing wrong with being proud of yourself. He lost MVP, though, so he’ll have to get over that the best way he can.

  • Jay the Real One

    I will say this LeBron won the having the better looking woman prize over Kobe.

  • Ms. jones

    if kobe won his title to a weaksauce team then i guess the cavs lost to a weaksauce team. i don’t really care about the shirt cause that’s all he got a shirt. yes and he has a reg. season mvp title which is great. but somebody says he’s going against the entire league to receive that. and…negative them ni**as in the league don’t count. his a** was going against k.b. d.wade chris paul maybe and about five more folk. just cause u play in the nba doesn’t mean u in the competition for a reg. season mvp title. and who really cares cause unless u get that ring it don’t too much matter. kobe was happy to get it (reg. mvp) but that was just some sprinkles added to his already three finals rings now he has a 4th. when “lecrybaby” lol get at least one then he can be put into the conversation of greatest. now he’s a really good, young, cocky, i ain’t accomplished ish player. stats, reg. season mvp title doesn’t mean a thing if u AIN’T GOT THAT RING. any nba player will say that. this AI stuff he can’t help nobody he too selfish, dude had carmelo and the former champions in detroit. he can’t get over himself in time to win a ring. lebron can’t help that dude. he’s a hall of famer of course. but he will be a ringless one. awwww.

  • porterwayne757

    Not to be all about sports but maybe they should not give out the season MVP until after the conference finals. Check your stats hell check your rings…lol

    @ free- your point being….? Guess the work analogy went over your head.

    Oh, I get it now. You don’t wanna have a serious conversation about basketball, you’re just a Kobe stan. SMH

    Well I’m glad you have his back, cuz most of us in L.A. can’t stand him or his wife. So, yeah, you have fun with that…….

  • http://LeBronNeedsaTimeout drez

    the misinformed juvenile who wrote this blog is the one in need of a timeout! #1 – LBJ IS the MVP! #2 – We live in a society where fredom of expression certainly includes wearing a t-shirt of our choice. and #3, I’m sure LeBron could care less what such nonsinsical blogs have to say.

  • free

    nobody’s taking anything away from lebron’s game, nia.

    just stating the obvious, which is going over your head.

    ask ANY player which position they would rather be in. no need for any deep basketball conversation.

  • lies and bullshit

    eew lebron has kankles

  • last dayz

    That man can wear whatever the hell he wants to wear. If you don’t like it don’t wear it.

  • Pam

    boy move the hell on, you look like a sore loser…you win some and lose some.

  • mno

    he won the mvp.so why shouldn’t he feel great about it.kobe is a b*tch and they won the finals on luck they were lucky that the magic played so poorly and also that the magic beat the cavs.they shoot three pointers thats theyre game and luckily for them the shots went in vs the cavs.they were unlucky against the lakers because theyre shots didn’t go in.so lakers were lucky kobe is sh*t.lebron mvp, so shut it

  • Jay the Real One

    If KG come back healthy Kobe and LBJ both out of luck next season.

  • NoooooooBoo

    No, Shaq won it in his second year with Miami. Iverson and LeBron on one team would spell disaster. Iverson needs to let the “thug” life go and grow up and Lebron needs to start acting like a 30 year old man, not just look like one.
    and what does KOBE stand for you say?

    Keep Observing Basketballs Elite

    Y’all know Kobe used to ride that bench when he started back in the day, Lebron didn’t have a chance because he has the whole team riding on him… Oh yea, Shaq got his own championship ring without Kobe his 1st year with the Heat.

  • mane

    Lebron is the best all around player to me also,then Kobe, D-Wade and Melo. But ole’ girl in the white got some hips on her! Oowee!

  • YaddaYadda

    AND OH YEAH… LETS CHECK THE STATS:

    WHO LEAD THE THE LEAGUE IN STEALS? *CHRIS PAUL*

    WHO LEAD THE LEAGUE IN REBOUNDS? *DWIGHT HOWARD*

    WHO LEAD THE LEAGUE IN SCORING? *DWAYNE WADE*

    WHO LEAD THE LEAGUE IN ASSIST? *CHRIS PAUL*

    WHO LEAD THE LEAGUE IN BLOCKS? *DWIGHT HOWARD*

    HE COULD LEAD HIS TEAM TO THE PLAYOFFS BUT ONE MAN CAN’T WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. THEY HAD IT SO DAMN EASY, BUT WHEN THEY ACTUALLY PLAYED MAGIC, WHO ACTUALLY BEAT THEM IN THE REGULAR SEASON AND ELIMINATED THEIR ASS, GOD KNOWS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SWEEP. SO LETS GIVE IT UP TO THE ROLE PLAYERS (ONE MAN CAN’T DO IT BY HIMSELF). SO GOOD JOB LAKERS. AND IF LEBRON IS SMART GET THE F*CK OUT OF CLEVELAND AND HOLLA AT NEW YORK. NOW HE’LL BE PLAYING WITH AN ACTUAL TEAM.

  • LLOL

    THESE two look GOOD together

  • Orlando Magic Johnson

    It’s amazing that Kobe and the Lakers made it back to the NBA Finals and finally won the title in 2009. While LaBron and the Cavs were swept by the Spurs in the 2007 Finals and almost got swept by the Magic in the 2009 ECF. LaBron should learn to be a leader. He was not able to make his teammates better to beat the Magic.

  • what?!

    he did win mvp dumbass

  • thepromised1

    Kobe… hands down best player in the world. Take you inside, outside, in the paint, shoot the three, mid-range, all defensive player inside and out and constant student of the game. Solid fundamentals and strong creative awareness. The dude is a beast. Lebron is equal or better in some respects, he’s bigger at 6′ 8″ and 250lbs (actually a power forwards frame) stronger and faster but he isn’t as polished as Kobe. Yeah we can check his stats but to that I’d say check the banners in the rafters Kobe has four Lebron has none. To the idiots that covet a regular season MVP over a finals MVP ask Lebron would he rather trade places with Kobe and see what he’d say. That’s ridiculous to think that a regular season popularity contest in any way competes with ANYTHING involving the finals ….hell look at they’re regular season schedules. Cleveland was only 7 wins-5 losses against teams with winning records where as the Lakers were 16 wins-4 losses against teams with winning records.
