How old is LeBron James? is a question most casual fans ask when they see him play. I mean, you've been hearing his name for almost 20 years now, yet he continues to dominate in the NBA as if he were another 27-year-old.
LeBron James has made a living out of posting ridiculous stat-lines and people just seem to take him for granted. A 25-7-7 year for him seems somewhat underwhelming, while that might as well be a career year for most players in the league.
Then again, every now and then, The King seems to take his game to a whole new level. Whenever he wants to make a statement, he makes sure that those who doubt him or disrespect him have nothing to talk about.
That seems to be the case every time the Los Angeles Lakers face off vs. the Milwaukee Bucks, as, clearly; he takes it to heart to prove that he should've been named MVP ahead of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
LeBron James Calls Out The Media Again Over MVP Snubbed
So, the 37-year-old forward took to Twitter to call out the media for giving him just 15 out of 101 possible first-place votes for MVP last season, reminding everybody just how good he still is:
To put it in context, this isn't the first time that LeBron has addressed this situation. At the end of the season, he admitted to being pissed off about how little recognition he got, even though Giannis had a great season as well:
“Not saying that the winner wasn’t deserving of the MVP, but that pissed me off," James said. “I’m not going to sit up here and talk about what the criteria should be or what it is. Sometimes it’s the best player on the best team. Sometimes it’s the guy with the best season statistically. (...) Giannis had a hell of a season, I can definitely say that," he concluded.
Last season, LeBron James averaged 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 10.2 assists (league-high), and 1.2 steals per game on 49/34/69 shooting splits, while Giannis Antetokounmpo posted averages of 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game on 55% from the floor.
At the end of the day, however, it was LeBron the one who got the final laugh, as the Los Angeles Lakers went on to win the NBA Championship, while the Milwaukee Bucks failed to make the NBA Finals again.
