"Pissed me off. That's my true answer," James said after pumping in 15 points with 12 assists in the series opener. "It pissed me off, because out of 101 votes, I got 16 first-place votes. That's what pissed me off more than anything.

"You know, not saying that the winner wasn't deserving of the MVP. But that pissed me off. And I finished second a lot in my career, either from a championship, and now four times as an MVP."

So he's being honest and it's whining?

Always whining.

Is the idea that if you’re being honest, it can’t be considered whining?

He's just a whiny patriot. He opted out of the social justice messaging because he was not consulted on the terms to be chosen from.

‘I’m laughing cause sometimes you have to, just to stop from crying.’

Lebron James has weighed in on actress Lori Loughlin getting to choose the prison where she will serve her two-month sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal

So he's being honest and it's whining?

So he's being honest and it's whining?

“I would have loved to have a say-so on what would have went on the back of my jersey,” James said. “I had a couple of things in mind, but I wasn’t part of that process."

LeBron was on the Lakers last year and they sucked. Then they get Anthony Davis and they’re great and.... LeBron is mad he’s not the MVP? PM you gotta admit he sounds ridiculous.

"I never came into this league to be MVP or to be a champion," James said.

Oh, brother. I'm not so sure that I find that a truthful statement, Mr. James, given some team hopping over the years.

i have a feeling hes pissed because the MVP gets you a big payday

either way, hes just voicing his opinion. i dont have a problem with it. hes not wrong, but i agree its probably better to keep shut about it. then again, nothing changes if you dont squeak.

He has the right to think he deserved more first place votes, even though I think he's wrong. Giannis easily outdistanced himself from every other player in the regular season, so why should any other player receive first place votes? Also, whether it's unfair or not LeBron is going to be somewhat penalized for playing with an All NBA first team talent like AD, when the best player surrounding Giannis is the rather inconsistent, non-explosive Khris Middleton.

giannis was deserving. but lebron was this year too. theres rumors that giannas hates his teammates, and players talk to eachother so i would imagine lebron thinks he deserves it more because he brought another shit team together and they all get along... whereas milwaukee its likely giannis is leaving them.

I think he meant choosing not to put a slogan on the back of his jersey.

I don’t think anybody can credibly say James has not been outspoken on this stuff going back years.

I think he's like Jordan in that he makes up reasons to get mad and prove people wrong. He's the 2nd best player of all time. He's a decent person. Who cares? Theres a lot worse out there that will bang their chest for doing their job. Lebron aint perfect but he plays end to end. A lot wont and most cant.
