yo 10-10-10s and Heartbreaks is GOLDEN. hahha
I like it, but "The Durant Dropout" is better. Just the name, not the album specifically ofc.
bruh im dead lol
It's crazy Lebron in his 14th season is averaging 26/8/9 shooting 56% from the field and 40% from 3. Has his team the 1st in the East despite not having 2 starters majority of the season. He is the only person who can stop a golden state dynasty he is the MVP of the league. He's our only hope. And he's gotta do it in his 14th season. He's MVP
that's not even close to what kawhi harden and westbrook are doing. not even better than isaih Thomas
Connor Smith True but Lebron always coasts in the regular season. In the playoffs he's by far the best in the league. Personally I think harden is MVP just because if we have it to the actual best player every year Lebron would probably have 8
Connor Smith Legoat is the MVP. These Gms and media fall in love with pgs that shoot 42%. Amazing how the hate is. Lebron is shooting 54% with career 3pt% in year 14. Who among those 4 will convince free agents to take less money?? Not kanye westbrook. Not kawhi not harden. Shame on the nba.
Connor Smith I'm a LeBron fan but don't act like being 1st in the East is an accomplishment...They are actually underperforming this year
No one cares about what he did for 14 years or if he beat Golden state last year it has nothing to do with Being MVP This year... saying he's missing 2 starters and his doing this and that well westbrook harden play in a Tougher conference and has no other all stars on their teams and are having a better season the LBJ i actually like lebron but Cavs are under achieving
I love how Colin always tries to relate sports to real life. Makes the whole conversation more engaging and relatable.
LeBron is the best player in the world. No one comes close

Agree
+Lunatic Reviews *W*
Do you agree?
Colin Cowherd easily
Colin Cowherd no
I think every GM knows that Lebron is the best player, but it wouldnt be fun if the best player would win all the time so they give the award to the one's with the best stats, or the more flashy stats.
The award wins in topics of discussion and excitement, but loses on prestige. I think it got to a point where it is interesting but does not define who the better player is (the one who gives you more wins and championships, because yes, that is what measures the value of a player)
When you have 82 games that are not much important for the best player, guess what, he will not give you his best, althought everyone knows he's the best.
I think it got to the point where MVP is not that prestigious, its just something that can add fun to the regular season.
Love hearing Colin, props from Portugal!
All your hard work.....no impact.
Take the L Colin.
He doesn't deserve the MVP this year, not a great record in the weak east
But look at lebrons stat 26.1 points per game 8.3 rebounds per game 8.8 assist how is that 4th in ranking while also his team without him would be the worse team ? Huh valuable huh? Y'all Americans' are lying if LeBron ain't 1 or 2
AM FROM THE NETHERLANDS How would Cleveland be the worst without him? this team is stacked and if they were healthy they're still a Eastern conference teams atleast without LeBron.
hector cervantes lmao you are stupid. The Cavs record without Lebron since he rejoined is 4-21. This season they are 0-5 without Lebron. Both Kyrie and Kevin love had never made the playoffs before they played with Lebron. And stacked team? The bench is ranked 28th it's a bunch of old shooting veterans. The Cavs are Lebron or bust and if you don't see that you are a blind hater.
y'all bronsexuals really believe a team with two all stars would be worst team in the league

S Amogh Nah they like wins, both Harden and Kawhi have a better record with way less help and they play in the tougher conference.
but at the same time, it could be because people take LeBrons greatness for granted now. he's already won so many mvps, and his numbers aren't quite like Westbrooks or arguably hardens. with that being said, he should certainly be mvp and i hope voters open their eyes really soon so the right guy wins
Sam O wrong
+Self Made Trillin L
Semion Johnson the Cavaliers are complete and utter trash when LeBron doesn't play. this has been proven over and over
Sam O westbrook has passed all of lebums career highs
He doesn't play defense hard enough, that's why his team is losing so much by their standards
Its like nobody values defense in the MVP voting
I love when he talks about business and relates it to sports. Very sharp.
lol Leonard isn't even close to lebron . Can't even breathe near him. Lebrons on another planet. Compare their stats and tell me your pick . Lebrons MVP zero debate
L
Loominaughty lol you clearly are new to basketball. But that's okay you'll learn sooner or later
No debate? Lmao clearly you are new to basketball. Harden, Westbrook, Kawhi and Thomas are making their cases for MVP
The One and lebron isn't ? Hahahah you're clueless . Like I said you'll learn someday . watch basketball for more than 15 years then talk to me

Stop spamming your idiocy. Just b/c they didn't vote for lebron doesn't mean they hate him. They think others are having a better year. Harden has no all stars, a worse team, plays in west, and still has a better record. Lebron is having his 2nd best 3pt% ever, not his best. He is also having his worst FT% ever and most TOs ever. Convincing free agents has literally nothing to do with MVP.
LeBron does have the best skill set in the NBA hands down. Nobody can do what LeBron does and all of these GMs & Owners who voted against him will sign LeBron to their team immediately if not sooner if he were to declare free agency.
HOWEVER in terms of MVP value to their team Russell just BARELY edges out LeBron this year because of his essentialness to his team in comparison to LeBron and his.
S Amogh 👍
+JGB Creations MVP is subjective first of all if you would you use more logic and what an MVP is you look at it like money the American dollar is worth something everywhere all over the world the Mexican peso may be worth something in Mexico but that doesn't mean it's valuable all over LeBron is valuable to every team Case Closed he is the most valuable
Love his analogies and the way he says 'kanye westbrook' 😂😂
He keeps talking about "14 years" the MVP is about one season.
NobodyImportant3 Exxxaclty! !!
I used to not really like Colin but every video I watch he makes more and more sense...
You hit the nail on the head!👍👍
There's a difference between best player & MVP. James Harden is the MVP this year. The award is given to who is having the best year. Kawhi is making a case & Westbrook is close but Harden is the MVP. Finals MVP is what LeBron should be worried about. & on top of what Cleveland is underachieving with a very good roster. Maybe if they ever hired someone who would coach the team they would win more & he would win the MVP.
Anikpara Bandas facts
kingtise James doesn't play for MVP and the team rest a lot and without him playing they do horrible and plus so many players are injured
Westbrook has the best stats
he was real quiet when Harden outplayed Lebron the other night
Harden didn't out play him, his team did. Cavs couldn't even get a rebound.
He did outy play him.
Matt Mamba bronsexuals have selective memory
Healthy Cavs would sweep the Rockets while Harden gets his triple double and 9 turnovers
I do believe Harden is the MVP this year, but Lebron is and has been the best player for at least the past 5 years. But to give him one vote is crazy, if you had to chose one player to win you a chip, we all know who would be picked
1magnusemil Legoat is the MVP
they hate on lebron they go be big mad when we win this ring in June
Six God Legoat is the best
If the mvp award was supposed to be the best player in the world, kobe would have like 8 of them and jordan would win every year. LeBron's still the best player in the world but he doesn't produce (regular season at least) as much as Harden, Westbrook, or Kawhi Leonard do.
My vote's Kawhi, best defensive player in the NBA carrying the offense as well to possibly the 1st seed over Golden State who got 4 All-Stars.
I think they confuse the meaning of 'MVP' and 'Most improved Player'
Hit the nail on the head
Lmao at 2:44
everyone in the mvp race is having a career year...
MJ and LeBron should both have been MVP every year
The Cavs roster, apart from LB, Irving and Love are players that if you'd put anywhere else, they would just be warming up the bench. What was RJ before joining the cavs? Shumpert and JR? nobody wanted them on their roster, and the list goes on. Lebron has the ability to make any player look far better than he really is.
'Not Kanye' 😂💀
LeBron's "rich and powerful" also.
I think every GM knows that Lebron is the best player, but it wouldnt be fun if the best player would win all the time so they give the award to the one's with the best stats, or the more flashy stats.

Love hearing Colin, props from Portugal!
Facts!!!!!!! Omfg!!! Magic won a ring as a rookie when Kareem got hurt!!! People forget everything lol
so let me c if I understand...EVERYBODY is just wrong on this MVP thing this year BUT Collin!!!..players, media, GM's, fans, ..EVERYBODY but Collin and Lebron's groupies lmfaooo #2much
"Which player could convince a top veteran to play for them mid season"
Um, harden with Lou Williams? Lol
Colin was spitting facts
Russell Westbrook or James Harden is MVP.
yeah lebron is having a career best season, westbrook is having an nba all time season! i rest my case
I'm tired of people taking greatness for granted. it's just not right and shouldn't be tolerated by any of us
I LOVE this year's race for MVP because it will finally force what the definition of MVP is. If they all had the same record: Russ wins it. If the player is absent from the team: LeBron is more valuable in that regard. Will the player have the same impact if the teams were switched around? LeBron is more valuable in that regard. IMO they are having a hard time isolating this year from other years. "We haven't seen an averaged triple double in 40 years" "In his 14th season?!" "Without Tim Duncan?!" "This is the best we have seen from him" You just can't judge like that.
LeBron or Kawhi deserve it more
If one really wants, all subjectivity can be removed from the MVP selection process. Just define objective criteria to be based on actual performance in games.
MVP is not about the best player, it's about the best story.
Then why do they keep losing?
Talk That Talk Collin!
I'd say 1. Harden 2. James 3. Leonard 4. Westbrook
I didn't know the MVP race was based on who your teammates are.. it's most valuable player not most valuable GM lol
Great analogy colin
The man knows more about winning than the organization he plays for, which means he definitely knows more about winning than atleast 90% of the NBA. If you're a GM and LeBron plays for your team, you have to take a backseat to him because he's gonna pick his coach and his teammates. I can see why GM's don't necessarily like LeBron.
lebum has the 4th best record despite having the highest payroll of all time

Loominaughty You're still talking regular season dude?
😂
😂
😂
😂
😂😂😂😂
Loominaughty Legoat is the MVP. These Gms and media fall in love with pgs that shoot 42%. Amazing how the hate is. Lebron is shooting 54% with career 3pt% in year 14. Who among those 4 will convince free agents to take less money?? Not kanye westbrook. Not kawhi not harden. Shame on the nba. With no kevin love
Whether or not Lebron James make a great Gm means nothing in an MVP race
lmao colin so butthurt about lebron being not voted mvp that he had to make a segment about it
Colin I want absolutely NOTHING to change....they do this to LeBron EVERY YEAR....then he succeeds in SPITE of it.....it's how he thrives and I want nothing changed....he needs all the ammo he can get to win this chip....
Maybe the executives see that Lebron has 2 other all stars and the brodie harden and Kawhi has nun
1* allstar with a bunch of injuries
rushking20 #TerribleTowels facts
Warrior Killer so telling facts is hating now lmao
rushking20 #TerribleTowels why does that matter every team atleast had one all star to win a ship
rushking20 #TerribleTowels Legoat is the MVP. These Gms and media fall in love with pgs that shoot 42%. Amazing how the hate is. Lebron is shooting 54% with career 3pt% in year 14. Who among those 4 will convince free agents to take less money?? Not kanye westbrook. Not kawhi not harden. Shame on the nba
maybe the executives saw that lebron has 2 other all-stars on their team (the other 3 have a combined 0), the team has the 3rd best record among the 4 candidates, with all of the things he gets away with (he gets solid role players gifted, his team is just so stacked) and with this losing streak, no thanks.
LBJ 2017 MVP 🏆
cowherd always spitting the realest facts
LeBron can play all 5 positions on the floor and has during stretches this season. When the Cavs go small he plays the Center position at times.
The taxi business sues Uber because they don't have proper insurance, don't pay proper taxes, don't pay their employees properly and so have a unfair economic advantage. An unfair advantage that would be illegal if they weren't paying off legislators.
facts
the disruptor is Westbrook not a Lecryforplaymaker or Lehideintheeast.
Just because you like Lebron doesn't mean you are right and you can call NBA executives crazy. To me I think you are CRAZY. I mean C R A Z Y>>>
He's the only superstar who always needs two franchise all star players for him to win.
Colin preaching!
Colin choking on LeBron's ****** again. What else is new?
Nothing is new, nothing at all.
Lebron is ahead of Westbrook in MVP race, but the award is between harden and Leonard
Cowherd spitting FACTS
This guy wants to put rich people on the opposite side of Lebron, but he forgets that Lebron is rich af
Laying it on a bit thick, eh Colin? Kawhi's scoring 1 point less per game than LBJ on a better team in a more difficult conference. And his team's defense isn't horrible right now.
And this year's regular season MVP is not last year's finals MVP.
Powerful video
Legod james should build his own leauge
When someone is able to do everything that the game of basketball asks for, and succeed, year after year no matter what team you're on, you end up in the finals. that person is the best player in the league, no debate.
But as humans we get bored with greatness and just want somebody else. I am in no way saying those guys don't deserve MVP but to trivialise the greatness of Lebron in a team where he shares most the points with an average of 7 other players who can not win a game without him. Tell me if any other MVP candidate shares such statistics
36 so called GM's dislike😂
get em Colin!!!!
it should be Harden, Lebron, kawhi, westbrook
LeBron is the MVP without a doubt, some people does not understand the effect Lebron has on a team.. when Lebron was out of Cleveland, that team was no good whatsoever they fell out of part. And when Lebron came back they became a companion contender. Yes, we can all agree that the west is much tougher, however this guy has proved that he is the ultimate player in the mvp. He plays all parts of a position and he does it so well. I don't understand how people can have soo much hate for this man. We take his greatness for granted. The man can easily drop triple doubles easily, however, he gets everyone in the game. I hope people does not take this guy for granted because when it's all said and done he will perhaps be the greatest of all time.
Goat Jr is always the real MVP even when the Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals on Father's day
Preach!!!!!
Steph was unanimous MVP when his team was stacked :)
Who is the most demanding and has to take off games to rest? Not Harden or Westbrook
Birgir Bent Whos saving energy for a 7th straight finals run? Not Westbrook or Harden
Lugal Ki En ooo sorry I forgot.... Lebron is in the freaking EAST! Don't judge him of finals appearances
Yet he's beaten teams in the west multiple times in the finals, yet the East has gotten stronger over the last three years to the point where they're starting to match up with the West in terms of team depth.
Think about it.
Birgir Bent Even though he has taken down 2 historic powerhouse teams in the finals. West is just top heavy, East is actually balanced besides Cleveland.
Birgir Bent Finals MVP > MVP
Thing is if the gm's had the chance to get him he would be the first choice out of those 4
Alright, David Griffin is a great GM
Colin is getting MVP and leagues best player mixed up
Kawhi Leonard overrated in the MVP race. Yeah he is a great scorer and phenomenal defender, but LeBron is a better scorer and he does something Kawhi can't, create plays for others Kawhi averages what 3 assists??? LeBron averages like 8 and plays great defense.
which this topic went deeper than basketball
Unfiltered truth.
I think for LeBron to win MVP this year, he would have to go on an absolute tear like he did in 2014. For the majority of the season, the media had KD as the MVP. So LeBron just went berserk in the second half of the season to prove why he should be MVP. Now KD still won it that year, but it was by a small margin of three votes, and if meaningless votes hadn't gone to Joakim Noah, LeBron probably would won. Cleveland would have to go on a win streak and LeBron would have to play like he did in last year's Finals to sway the media's MVP votes.
Totally agreed!!! even if Lebron doesn't get any more rings, he influenced (in such a tremendous way) the NBA right now. Not KD, not Curry, etc. and what is best of Lebron is his humility and professionalism... the GOAT.
I understand he loves LeBron and whatnot but this season Harden should win the MVP. As of right now he's #3 in ppg, #1 in assists and is leading his team to a better record than LeBron with no other all star on his team. I know LeBron is valuable to his team but so is every other star player who team relies on them to pull out a win.
Lebron's career highs in assists and rebounds are getting embarrassed by a 6'3" point guard who is also averaging more points.
Excellent video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has to be a story around MVP trophies seem like...Bron numbers are "the usual" to the media now. Would be an outstanding season for anyone else though. "Cavs have allstars!"....allstars that cant win a game without Bron. Folks always boost the talent Bron plays with and downplay the talent other guys have. Cavs bench is old. Dantoni system is perfect for Harden. Has the 6th man of the year on his bench in Lou and shooters on the bench. A top defensive pg in Beverly, Ariza has championship experience,Gordon,etc...Spurs system plug and play always been that way, and i dont feel sorry Westbrook carrying Thunder because im positive Harden,Kawhi and Bron wouldve made it work with KD.
This is a regular season award, what happens in the playoffs doesn't matter at the moment. There are NO excuses for LeBron to have a worse record than the Rockets with Harden. The supporting cast is much better.
lakers1234 he sat out a lot
Building a team? Need a point guard? LeBron can do that job as well as or better than any point guard in league history. Need a power forward? LBJ can do it, need a small forward? LBJ can do it, need a center? LBJ can do it, need someone that can guard all 5 positions? LBJ can do it. LBJ is the greatest talent since MJ. Kobe? Please. KD? Please, Steph? Child please!
MVP doesn't go to the best player (LeBron). MVP goes to the player having the best season who also wins games. LeBron isn't having a better season than either Westbrook or Harden. So at best, LeBron is 3rd in the MVP race.
Guys the problem with the MVP vote is every year we know lebron deserves it. 2 words . Voters fatigue. It's what capped Jordan at only 5.
not lebron hate colin they are having better years with less help in a superior conference don't take rocket science to figure it out but the GMS know more then you
The thing is, I acknowledge that LeBron is the best in the league, talented on the court and influential off, but how boring would it be for LeBron to win every year. So I think it should be rewarded for people who are putting up stats this year that they have never done before, play extraordinary comparatively to the rest of the league and to their previous years, but as for LeBron it is not like he is doing a ton more than he normally does. That is just my thoughts on it I guess
Does anyone else think the NBA should consider an Offensive Player of the Year award? They already have DPOY. Lebron should be winning MVP almost every year. Guys like Harden, Westbrook, and Curry are the ones that should be having OPOY. Kawhi is the only one this year that can contend with Lebron in MVP because Kawhi is the best two way player in the game right now. I'm not saying the NBA absolutely needs an OPOY award but it seems like these days MVP is synonymous with the best offensive/statistical player in the league. Just food for thought.
The meaning of MVP is just so vague nowadays.
He had a great argument, but at the same time, harden, westbrook, and leonard havent been asking everyone in the league to join their team. Take away kyrie ad love, the supporting cast is still better than what harden and westbrook have. Those two are also making their teammates better as well, so don't use that in an argument. Bron is the best player in the world, but he cannot win it every year.
MVP is for one season! Best player and MVP aren't the same thing. The Cavs are the best team in the league and haven't locked up the least. Name another team 14 deep with 3 all stars
im a LeBron James fan but Russell Westbrook deserve MVP
Who tf is Kanye Westbrook?
LeBron fans so buddy....they call him LeGoat😂😂😂😂
