LeBron James Named NBA MVP
LeBron James praised his Cleveland Cavaliers team-mates after he was named NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) on Monday.
At 24 years and 125 days, ‘King James’ became the youngest player to win the award – which is voted by sports writers and broadcasters – after leading the team to a franchise record 66 wins.
The muscular 6-foot-9, 260-pound forward received the award at St Vincent-St Mary high school in Akron, Ohio, where he first shot to prominence as a teenager before jumping directly to the NBA.
He credited his team-mates, who along with coach Mike Brown were present to see him accept the award, for raising their games in the Cavaliers’ best season ever.
