LeBron to win MVP award, source tells AP
http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/30560099/

CLEVELAND - Unstoppable at both ends of the floor this season, Cleveland superstar LeBron James is the NBA’s Most Valuable Player.

James, who led Cleveland to a team record 66 regular-season wins and the top overall seed in the playoffs, will receive the award Monday afternoon, a person with knowledge of the choice told The Associated Press. James has chosen Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, his alma mater, as the site for the award presentation, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official announcement has not been made.

James is the first Cavaliers player to win the award. The 24-year-old averaged 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists this season, his sixth as a pro. He also finished second in voting for defensive player of the year, making him perhaps the league’s most dominant two-way player since Michael Jordan.

1. Great news -- and a shot in the arm for a city struggling in tough times

2. This is a well deserved award
I had wished that Danny Ferry would have won as Executive of the Year. Danny built a great team around LeBron.

They also are going to give LeBron a Kia. I don't know what he'll do with that. I hope he will give it away to charity.
