Look, we all know that LeBron would improve each and every one of those other candidates team record if he replaced them, and by following that argument he deserves MVP. He is the best player in the game and everyone knows that. The poblem is that that isn't what the MVP is awarded upon. the MVP is awarded based on who had the best regular season and while 'Bron has had a bomb-ass season and I would personally vote for him as MVP you have players who have played ridiculously well this year and have done very well with their teams. It doesn't matter that LeBron could do better than them in their situation, because he isn't in their situation. He's on a championship contender and he's pacing himself.
