Lebron James Wins 3rd MVP Joins Elite Company However Title Responsibilty Comes With The Territory

Lebron James, beat out the likes of Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant to become the 2011-12 NBA Most Valuable Player. Lebron won two MVP's in Cleveland and now has one in Miami for a total of 3 MVP's. Lebron James joins select elite company, only 8 others have a trio of MVP's or more, none since Michael Jordan. James is currently in his 9th NBA season and has yet to win a NBA Championship. Personally thought Kevin Durant deserved the MVP award. However sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles. Now their is a championship responsibility that the elite company James is now apart of accomplished : multiple NBA titles. Defeating teams you should and are expected to beat in rounds one and two aren't great achievements. The great one's stand out in the Conference Finals and more importantly the NBA Finals. James teams are a combined 2-8 in the Finals and he's 0-2 overall. Some like myself gave him a pass when the Cavs were swept in 2007 vs. the Spurs. No pass will given out for last years NBA Finals, when James average nearly 10ppg less in the NBA Finals then he did in the regular season. Clearly when that money is on the table, that's not what MVP's do. Miami lost 4-2 to Dallas as the Mavericks won their 1st NBA title. James left Cleveland to come to Miami with Wade and Bosh, so their are no acceptable excuses, especially from James who said Miami would win 6 or 7 NBA Titles.
