Lebron has been, still is, and will continue to be till he shows significant drop off the best in the world. This bs about kawhi or giannis is cute, but no one, other than possibly kd, has truly been a threat to take brons crown. Bron was hurt last year so he never got a chance to dominate the playoffs for the first time in his 17 year career. Meanwhile, kawhi got the luckiest shot ever against philly, giannis is not a threat outside the paint yet, and kd was on the greatest team ever. Bron, no matter where he goes, that team elevates to championship contention instantly. The lakers were a mess, fo drama, no playoffs for 6 years, Bron takes on the challenge of turning that team around and making them favorites. This isn’t a debate

[@janconner2087]

Se 2333 Giving??? He did actually earn it. I like Giannis’ game but in a season like this, while he is certainly the favorite in the MVP race, he could lose to Lebron James, based upon what he still doing in his 17th season

[@Se0420_]

jan conner i didn’t mean “given” in that context. He definitely deserved them. And the only reason he would lose to Lebron is because he has a 25 yr old AD in his prime carrying the lakers. He’s leading the lakers in every category except assist.. if anything AD is the MVP of the lakers. Not Lebron.

[@janconner2087]

Se 2333 When any player is running a stat line of 26/8/11 playing 5 more games and in their 17th season, it kind of debunks that argument. Davis is an outstanding player, yet isn’t expected to to take as much as James has done this season. It’s like what hurts Leonard is the Load Management issue. Now with this Coronavirus issue suspending the season, unless he plays the rest of the season after the scare is over, he’ll drop out of the MVP conversation when he starts taking nights off

[@-.TS.-]

Agree with Steven A on this. Opening night was hype for all of us. But we also know how LeBron operates with new pieces and the expectation of an 1-1 vs. Kawhi isn’t expected.

[@boom2nuke264]

People forget that the MVP stands for most valuable player. *VALUABLE* . Not athletic, not even most skilled. It’s the person that is most valuable to a team. If they don’t win (unless they’re on the Suns or Knicks), they shouldn’t win MVP. They’re not valuable enough to a team. There are of course exceptions, but that’s the basis.

Kawhi the best in the world. Your hearing it from a Bron fan.

[@jays6103]

Do people understand that HE HAS AD 🤦‍♂️

[@MySplash11]

Bruh that’s what i’m saying ppl gotta realize that the best player in the world is a individual award. giannis had to guard AD and bron and still dropped 32 ppl acting like bron strapped him and won the game all by himself smh. If giannis had AD and bron just had kris middleton the game wouldnt even be close

[@erikmerced6329]

@@MySplash11 lol I can't picture Kris Middleton and LeBron on the same team. Everytime he disappears against a tough team, LBJ would look at him like he did J R 😂😂

[@erikmerced6329]

@Desmond Hackney are you kidding me. Who doesn't give them credit. Their defense on both Steph and Giannis was amazing. Kawhi led that team as the best player by far, but no one can win a chip alone

[@jays6103]

@Iceman I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that AD as good as Pippen was is better than Pippen. Pippen is mostly known for his defense anyway. AD gives the lakers an easy 30 pts an is a defensive monster 🤷‍♂️

When I saw the headline in the video "Weekend at Bronny's" I thought Lebron's son finally made it as a topic discussion on First Take 😂

[@Maulleygxxx]

This is the difference between Lebron and Michael. With #23 there was never any question whatsoever 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@idkijs435]

there was also no giannis, Anthony davis, khawi Leonard, etc

[@idkijs435]

also, this is asking is he "still" the best player in the world. bro, its just a talking piece lol

[@DreamWorldSyd]

Mike didn’t play this long for that reason.

[@dailymemedose9163]

Max is reaching. LeBron proved he's the best. And I'm a Kawhi guy. We gonna bring it in playoffs tho 🔥

[@johnboy1760]

@@dxggrr3752 How'd he get on in the other games? He must be 5-0 combined against those teams right? Or at least a winning record, given how in this segment he's declared as being better...

Calm down, it's the regular season. Stephen "flip flop" Smith

Kewhi reminds me of McGrady and grant hill with better opportunities to win throw injuries.

Kawhi was 5/6 when he was guarded by LeBum. Three jumpers and two dunks.

[@aajr2366]

No way. Kawhi is a good player. Didnt know that

This is the perfect example of the Lebron over hype! Loses 2 games vs the Clips and wins 1 = Best Player in the World smh

Part 1? Couldn't ESPN have just made it one 14-minute video? Ijs 🤔🤔

[@slimeyladude]

I'm tired of ppl saying players like Giannis and Lebron's team are not the same when they are off the court.. Their team is literally BUILT AROUND THEM
