I know a bunch of you hate LeBron, but...

Dude is clearly the MVP and has absolutely lived up to the billing at this point (cannot fully say the same for Bosh or even Wade this year). These stats are ****ing scary and dam near tipple double action:26.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists 1.5 steals and 48.6 percent shooting. Kobe is the man but is way off this year on an underachieving team and there is no one else even close for MVP.

Still not quite sure why everyone was mad at him..he took less money to try to win, something most athletes do not do and now that we see the garbage he was playing with in Cleveland, how's the argument that he should of stayed working out for everyone?

He's been the best for the last 3 years if you ask me.

Bosh quietly is the most consistent of the 3 & it will always be Wade's team in my opinion but yes, Lebron is good. Lol

The way some of the Cavs organisation and fans dealt and have dealt with him leaving was at times classless. I can understand their disappointment, but some of them took it too far. I know he (LBJ) took a shot back at them recently, but for the most part he has showed his class. For the most part he is a class act off the court and an amazing player on the court. One of my favorite players in any sport.

While I admit that I have not watched all the Heat games (hello, I have a life) I do watch a lot of NBA and a lot of Heat games. Saying that Bosh has been the most consistent player is a pure contrarian statement that fails in the face of real life Dr. J. Its like saying Joel Anthony is the most consistent player cause he doesn't do shit every single night.

Bosh is good- well, we now see he may have been a little overrated. But you don't put up 27, 7, and 7 without being consistently great almost every night, and when you are "consistently" the best player on the floor every night, then sorry, that wins.

I think they might be able to win consistently for a month w/o Wade or Lebron since they are very similar but I think they would find it harder to win w/o Bosh for an extended period of time. Their bigs are just horrendous and will most likely be their demise this season.

True and not true. Miami bigs are horrible, but Lebron was able to win consistently in Cleveland for years without almost ever having a big or a player even close to Wade, so to say that in Miami they could win for only a month without Bosh fails bro, sorry.

I'll predict, when the dust clears, this Miami team will go down as the greatest of all time.

When Bosh went out they used Lebron at the 4 & he played well. Dont get me wrong, bosh probably is a little overrated as a superstar but saying that I think he's also underrated. He does the little things well & he's important to their run. James & Wade are top 5 players in the league so maybe not fair to compare with Bosh.

I guess what I'm saying is Bosh takes a lot of heat because he's part of the big 3 & not the superstar they are but he's extremely important & is consistent every night. Bringing up Joel Anthony there is not a fair analogy.

Pimp is right they would be hurt more by Bosh losing extended minutes over James or Wade individually.

Oh and Mike Miller is truly underrated. The guys is a rebounding & hustling machine

Getting back to your original post - Lebron is really coming on, you see what he played with in Cleveland but will never win MVP this year. I don't even think he's MVP of the Heat although his numbers (and Bosh) shows otherwise.

Oh and I have a life too (albeit a pathetic one lately. Lol)

Again Jack that fails..see my post above. Lebron had the best records in the NBA 2 years with zero help, zero big men and a bum coach...and without Wade of Bosh, so saying losing anyone else on this team would hurt more than him is insane and illogical, but nice try contrarian.
