Do you think LeBron should be named the NBA 2012-13 regular season MVP?

In 2014, LeBron James can again become a free agent.
During last nights Cleveland / Miami game a Cavaliers fan ran onto the court wearing a shirt that said “We Miss You, 2014 Come Back.”
The fan made his way up to LeBron, seemed to say something to him and, after he was apprehended and dragged away, LeBron patted him on the head.

Mar. 18, 2008 - The Boston Celtics ended the Houston Rockets’ 22-game winning streak with 94-74 win
Before the Rockets 94-74 loss to the Celtics (Kevin Garnett scored 22 points and Paul Pierce added 20), Houston had a team-high 22-game win streak. Houston’s streak was also the second-longest in NBA history; longest was the Los Angeles Lakers 33-game win streak that went from November 5th, 1971 to January 7th, 1972.
After Boston beat the Rockets, Tracy McGrady said this about the Celtics: “It’s a hell of a team over there. They outplayed us. I’ve never seen a defense like that. I mean, if they play defense like that, night in and night out, the NBA is in trouble because that was defense at its finest.”
Tonight the Miami Heat will go to Boston looking to extend their wnning streak to 23 games, and take sole possession of the 2nd longest streak in league history.
Do you think the Celtics will end Miami’s 22 game win streak like they did the Rockets? Can lightning strike twice? Will history repeat itself? Or will Miami beat the Celtics and extend their win streak to 23 games?
Incredible photo capturing LeBron James at his apex!
During the play LeBron took a terrible fall as he attempted to catch and dunk a half-court alley-oop pass from Dwyane Wade. He got up slow, shook his leg off and then went on to dominate the game. The picture and video show his incredible vertical leap and athletic abilities.
“Five beats one every time I look at it. And not that (LeBron) won’t get five. He may get more than that, but five is bigger than one.” - Michael Jordan, on why he’d choose Kobe Bryant over LeBron James
“A kid with a dream from Akron Ohio. Now chopping it up with the Prez. Life is Good” - LeBron James
Earlier today, the Miami Heat visited the White House for the customary “NBA champions meet the President” Basketballers-President meeting. President Obama tells LeBron it’s his world, and Wade offers the president a contract.
Here’s video of LeBron and Wade with the President:
LeBron James became youngest in NBA history to score 20,000 points
LeBron James, 28, became the youngest player in NBA to score 20,000 points.
James also surpassed the 5,000 assist mark against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night (Jan. 16, 2012) at Oracle Arena and is now one of 11 players in the 20,000-point, 5,000-assist, 5,000-rebound club.
James was the youngest player to be drafted No. 1 overall in 2003 at 18 years old, the youngest to win Rookie of the Year, and the youngest to score both 1,000, 10,000, and now 20,000 points.
Here’s a graph of LeBron vs. top 5 all-time in scoring by age.

Regardless of what went down in 2010 with his announcement to play for Miami, this is a well deserved honor for James who won his first NBA Championship Ring and grabbed a Gold Medal in the Summer Olympics.
Dec. 14, 1988 - The NBA’s Miami Heat won their first game
The Miami Heat played their first NBA season in 1988-89, and like most expansion franchises, they were pretty bad. Led by a collection of has-beens and never-weres, the Heat lost their first-ever game to the Los Angeles Clippers on November 5, 1988, then went on to drop their next sixteen straight. The first win in franchise history came against those same Clippers on December 14th, by a score of 89-88.
Miami finished their inaugural season with a record of 15-67.
No Bishops, Queens, or Pawns.
Just Kings.
