(Wade #2, Kobe #3) This begs the question, will Wade get the respect he deserves as a 1st team all NBA player and 1st team defender at the shooting guard position?!?!

You will see how underrated LeBron's jumper and defense is in these videos. Make sure to watch all of the videos. It will be worth your while, thanks!

LeBron is one of the more underrated defenders in the game. LeBron is one of the best help defenders in the NBA today. LeBron's ability and footwork on defense have been vastly underrated. LeBron is a 1st team defender getting low class recognition.

MVP should be an award that goes to the player who is most valuable in the NBA. There are many ways to determine an MVP and there have been various outcomes due to various ways of thinking. This year is simple, LeBron James is by far ahead of the rest of the MVP canidates. LeBron has a bunch of guys around him who are on the downside of their career. For the Cavs to be a contender in the east is nearly a miracle. You couldn't insert any 1 single other player from the NBA, in LeBron's position, and win as many games as the Cavs have. The bottom line is that LeBron rebounds like a power forward for his team. LeBron handles the ball like a point guard for his team. LeBron scores like a 2 guard for his team. LeBron is versatile like an athletic 3 for his team. LeBron handles the ball a lot, and he has a low turnover count. To handle the ball as much as LeBron does and have the same amount of turnovers as Kobe Bryant, who handles the ball less, it's another piece of proof that he is far above these other MVP canidates. LeBron has more steals and blocks as well. These stat totals don't appear magicly. LeBron has put up great production this year by playing his ass off. LeBron has singlehandedly led his team to more wins than any other player in the NBA. I also contend that LeBron is now the most unstoppable player in the NBA. You cannot deny that LeBron James is the single most valuable player in the NBA. I would contend that well over 60% of the GM's in the NBA would take LeBron James #1 if they could draft him today. He's young, athletic, skilled, smart, and he plays his ass off. LBJ is the true MVP. Kobe is a better pure shooter, and if you agree with that, then you have no choice but to agree with the fact that LeBron is better at attacking the rim, rebounding, passing, handling the ball, lifting his team to wins single handedly, and he is putting up better defensive production. For every 1 category that Kobe beats LeBron in, LeBron beats Kobe in 3 more. Kobe shoots a better % from 3 pointers yet LeBron has the better fg%. So what's that tell you? Logicly it tells a realistic fan that Kobe is missing more shots INSIDE of the 3 point line. Considering the fact that the highest % of shots taken are inside the three point line, it's safe to say the more valuable player is the man who can make the higher % of shots from the floor as a whole. Shooting a high% with free throws is a necessity to Kobe's game. A big part of Kobe's game is drawing touch shooters fouls on the perimeter. LeBron does not need to rely on drawing fouls. The nights where Kobe doesn't get the calls he is more at risk to be a detriment to his team.
