LeBron, Free Throw Percentage was DEAD giveaway. Bron been slacking on rebounding, and dimes this season for some reason. Can't explain why either. Thought it was kind of obvious. What was his 4x game numbers prior to tonight's stinker?

Just kinda goes to show how stupid this perception is that KD is giving away the MVP, just a bunch of shit generated by ESPN and the lebran stans.

So this is supposed to be the difference that negates Durant's January?

Durant shot 12-18 from the stripe tonight, so this thread was legit.

[Milbuck]

Lebron.

But honestly it's pretty sad that ESPN and the media in general are shitting themselves over this small of a difference. And this is an average 4 game stretch for Durant, while Lebron has picked it up big time.

[SavageMode]

That +11% more efficiency and 2 less minutes doe.

The game before was the 'broken nose game' where he left early. So I just did the last four.

Durant's January?

I know, right?

[russwest0]

I know, right?

But VOTER FATIGUE!!! Can't give anyone other than LeBron the MVP, that's VOTER FATIGUE!!!

[The-Legend-24]

Durant, not close.

[ProfessorMurder]

That +11% more efficiency and 2 less minutes doe.

That efficiency is only a difference of a couple of shots within this small sample.

Durant - 44/84
LeBron - 52/82

Bron been slacking on rebounding, and dimes this season for some reason. Can't explain why either.

The rebounding is down because he's just not putting in the effort. The assists are down for 2 reasons - 1) Chalmers' playmaking has improved quite a bit this season, so LeBron doesn't handle the ball as much as he used to 2) Miami's 3pt shooting has declined quite a bit from last season. Those kick-outs just don't generate baskets like they used to.

DurMVP.

This is gonna be a great race. Not only does Durant have to compete with Lebron's rising numbers and Miami being neck and neck with them record-wise, voters may also give Lebron the benefit of the doubt since he's obviously the more proven of the two. I forgot who, but someone here hit it right on the nail - Lebron was a genius to bring up that Mt Rushmore conversation because it shifted the comparison from Lebron vs Durant to Lebron vs the all time greats. Durant's best claim comes from his team's record and his play while his 2nd option was out for so long, especially in comparison with Miami's without Wade.

I brought that up...he shifted the narrative and then went off.
