“Pissed me off. That's my true answer. It pissed me off, because out of 101 votes, I got 16 first-place votes. That's what pissed me off more than anything,” James told reporters, according to ESPN.
“You know, not saying that the winner wasn't deserving of the MVP. But that pissed me off. And I finished second a lot in my career, either from a championship, and now four times as an MVP.”
James is a four-time MVP winner. He led the Lakers to the top seed in the Western Conference this season after his 2018-19 season was upended because of injuries. He managed to finish the prolonged regular season averaging 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists. It was the first time he averaged 10 assists in his career, and he was a league-leader in the category.
“I never came into this league to be MVP or to be a champion,” James said. “I've always just wanted to get better and better every single day, and those things will take care of itself. But some things is just out of my hands and some things you can't control. But it pissed me off.”
James also wondered how he wasn’t selected Defensive Player of the Year – an award that went to Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol.

What’s bigger, a basketball or LeBron’s head?
Who cares about LeBron James...the guy is simply a “ZERO”? I had a great boss once that said...”Son never bite the hand that feeds you”!!! And that goes for tons of ingrate sport stars, across the board!!! Honor & Respect the country that gave you multiple opportunities to succeed...period. I have no use whatsoever for someone like Lebron James.
Do you who my baseball heros are, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mayes, Henry Aaron, Roberto Clemente?
I work with bros who,just like my very white ass,are struggling to make a living and pay the bills in a fvcked up society on so many levels. This whiney b*tch just needs to STFU and count his blessings and I guess his money.
Karma? Let LeBrain dwell on that thought, if he can.
Humility might help. Thank God for your abilities and pray to the Jewish Savior before it is too late.
He really does live in a bubble. Nobody likes you LeBraindead.
It’s wonder he didn’t blame his second place finish on racism. It’s those white sports writers than won’t give him the credit he deserves.
Well he did lose to a Greek, LOL!
I guess the world still thinks Dennis Rodman is the weirdest thing to come out of the NBA
I guess LBJ doesn’t support SPORTSMANSHIP...
Used to be a man would PUBLICLY stand up and congratulate the one that beat him out and his private thoughts were somewhat private AND if part of the ‘inner circle’ leaked derogatory remarks, the public - in general - would figure the leaker knew not of what he spoke and was being vindictive.
Today EVERYONE writes a tell all book - wonder how many are actually read???, just another way to pocket a good advance on speculation of what one MAY say...
When Pete Roses streak was ended he was and stayed ‘Peed off’ at the pitcher for not throwing a fast ball even though PR tried to extend it when his team was down by 10 or so runs and he tried to bunt in his last at bat.
Pete sort of diminished in my mind after that stunt (being whizzed that the pitcher did his BEST to get him out - I can see him being momentarily frustrated and blurting something out — but to hold a grudge for years is stupid and shows what kind of person he REALLY is/was)
Say what you will about Dennis, but he worked his ass off at being one of the best rebounders the game has ever seen.
Here comes the waaaaaaambulance.
What is a Lebron James?
MJ didn’t have to team jump to win.
LeBron, big on the outside, but so small on the inside.
Someone tell LaBron he is first.......the first looser.
Must be racism.
Rodman was a good player, just a tad strange.
I wasn’t being ‘critical’ of him,
I still think PDJT would have had D heads exploding had he designated DR as his ‘official’ Rep to N Korea or even ambassador....NORKs certainly liked him <: <:
If LeBron wants to reunite LA, he needs to get the hardware. If he wants to be a beloved figure in LA, he needs to get the hardware. (If he *really* wants to be beloved forever in LA, he needs to start making a run at stacking championships like he promised Miami.)
It’s a bitch being over the hill, and getting nailed for perpetual whoring to China.
