With the regular season coming to a close, it is only natural that players be bombarded with questions as to who they think should win the NBA’s MVP Award.
Kevin Love had already gone on the record, stating that he thought it should go to Russell Westbrook, the Thunder guard and Love’s former Bruins teammate.
So, when reporters asked LeBron who he thought should win the award this year, the 4-time MVP offered this gem while smiling.

The Love-James “relationship” has been a running story line throughout the Cavs season, from LeBron’s supposed Twitter shading of Love to Love’s admission that the two weren’t “best friends” (as if basketball games were won due to The Power of Friendship).
It’s cool to see that LeBron can have some fun with the narrative at our (and possible Kevin’s?) expense. Hopefully, he’ll back up his words and vote for Love for the Player’s Choice Awards this year.
