It’s the first season for James back in Cleveland, and after a rocky start, the Cavaliers are on a role since they acquired Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith, and Timofey Mozgov. At 30-years old, James is starting to get a lot of miles on himself after joining the NBA straight from high school, and with James missing time, it was a main reason for some of the early season struggles for the Cavaliers.
James is obviously a staple for the Eastern Conference since he has been in the NBA, but last season the East’s win it was James’ new teammate Kyrie Irving that stole the show.
In the win last season, Irving was named the MVP, as he had 31 points and 14 assists. This time around it will be James who wins the MVP, as he will want to prove that he is still the best player on Earth, even though it’s been Curry and James Harden getting most of the MVP recognition so far this season.
