上周日,前洛杉矶湖人队后卫尼克•杨在Twitter上发表了他为什么勒布朗•詹姆斯应该获得最有价值球员奖的原因。
杨说这一说法主要是因为他相信湖人队如果没有詹姆斯的话就不会进入季后赛。

湖人队今年不仅兴旺发达,而且还夺得了西部头号种子。杨很快就提出这是詹姆斯案件的补充。

当然,勒布朗·詹姆斯上赛季也在湖人队。尽管LBJ因伤缺席了27场比赛,但那支球队今年只赢了37场。
还应该指出的是,勒布朗已经被安东尼戴维斯的加入所鼓舞。
早在去年,詹姆斯就极力游说湖人收购戴维斯,而广告也让詹姆斯在进攻上有选择地选择位置。勒布朗在防守端也投入了更多的精力。
如果不是乔维德19号的干涉,詹姆斯可能会有更好的机会赢得这个奖项。勒布朗在全明星赛结束后正处于一个巨大的跑动中,他在战胜密尔沃基雄鹿队和洛杉矶快船队的比赛中占据了主导地位。
不幸的是,在奥兰多恢复比赛之前,选民们被要求根据常规赛的所有比赛做出选择。这将使詹姆斯很难赢得这一奖项,因为雄鹿队的球星和现任MVP吉安尼斯安托孔姆波仍然被视为最受欢迎的球员。

Nick Young makes case why LeBron James should win MVP
原文:
Former Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young took to Twitter on Sunday to state his reason why LeBron James should win the Most Valuable Player award.
Young said the claim rests mostly on his belief that the Lakers would not make the playoffs without James on the roster.

Not only have the Lakers thrived this year, but they also captured the top seed in the Western Conference. Young was quick to suggest this adds to James’ case.

Of course, LeBron James was also on the Lakers last season. That team finished with just 37 wins on the year, though LBJ missed 27 games due to injury.
It should also be stated that LeBron has been galvanized by the addition of Anthony Davis.
James lobbied hard for the Lakers to acquire Davis as far back as last year, and AD has allowed James to pick and choose his spots on offense. LeBron has also been far more engaged on the defensive end of the floor.
Perhaps James would have had a better shot at winning the award if COVID-19 had not interfered. LeBron was in the midst of a tremendous run after the All-Star break, one in which he dominated during wins over the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers.
Unfortunately, voters were instructed to make their selections based on all the regular season games prior to the resumption of play in Orlando. This would figure to make it hard for James to win the award, given Bucks star and reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo was still largely seen as the favorite.
