On second thought, why not?

March 31, 2006

So I got my MVP ballot from the NBA today.
Back in February when I was at the All-Star Game in Houston, I worked up this story about how LeBron James wasn’t really a competitor for the Most Valuable Player Award this season.  I backed it with plenty of commentary from voters and my own individual [...]
