LeBron James: 2008-2009 NBA MVP

Earlier today, Lebron James, “The King” himself, was crowned the 2008-2009 NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP). The ceremony was fittingly held at the school where it all started for James—St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. LeBron led the MVP race with 1,172 votes, while the second place finisher, Kobe Bryant, totaled a mere 689 votes. There is no doubt that LeBron was a beast on the courts this year, but his sneakers of choice were also quite impressive. He began the year with a plethora of colorways of the Nike Zoom Lebron VI including the Hardwood Classics, the Fairfax, and the All-Star Game ZLVI, and he is currently rocking the Zoom Soldier III (3) for the remainder of the playoffs. Sneaker Files would like to congratulate Lebron James on his great accomplishment at such a young age, and we wish him the best of luck for the future.

    LBJ BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE HANDS DOWN

    D WAYED IS 2nd

    KOBE IS THE 20th BEST PLAYER IF THAT AND HIS SHOES ARE EVEN WORSE THAN HE IS IF THATS POSSIBLE

  5. KOBE is nasty. #2 player behind LBJ23 and just ahead of CP3. I'm gonna cop this trophy from Lebron when I get a chance.

  6. whoever says Kobe Bryant is not good, clearly has no basketball knowledge.

    Kobe Bryant is the best player in the game today. Yes, ask LeBron. He'll say that too.

    But don't get me wrong, LeBron is up there and he deserved it this season.

    Hopefully he and Kobe meet up in the finals and play for the title.
