Our own Rob Peterson has his ideas about the Race For the MVP (I might even agree with most of them), but the good people in Cleveland beg to differ.
LeBron James hasn't let up on the acceleration pedal since a day in early November where he dropped 45 points, seven boards and seven dimes on the Knicks. As Cavs.com reports, if you look at just the straight numbers, James has had his best season in an already-brilliant career. He is among the league leaders in almost every major category -- including scoring average, where he leads the NBA at 30. ppg. With two games left in the regular season, James is tops in field goals made and in total points.Peppering the league’s top ten, James ranks second overall in triple-doubles, third in free throws attempted, third in minutes per game (40.4) fourth in free throws made, seventh in assists and tenth in steals (1.84). This year, he's scored over 40 points five times and gone for 50 twice. LeBron has turned in back-to-back triple-doubles -- on consecutive days -- on two separate occasions. James has led the club in scoring 63 times, assists 61 times, rebounding 15 times, steals 34 times and blocked shots, 23 times.
