During the Heat’s shootaround, prior to Tuesday’s Game 4 of the NBA Finals, LeBron James was asked if he needed to win the Finals MVP to justify his decision to bolt from Cleveland and sign with Miami.
"That's ridiculous," said James. "I have two MVP trophies sitting in my house back in Ohio and I haven't won anything. It doesn't matter to me."
James is playing like the Finals MVP is irrelevant to him, scoring a total of eleven points during the fourth quarters of the first five games of the series.
One more interesting James related note, a popular basketball proposition involved an over/under of 26 points, as his estimated point total for Thursday’s Game 5. The King would finish well below with only 17.
