LeBron James’ reaction to MVP voting: ‘It pissed me off’

[X-Files]

"LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James said Friday night he was “pissed off” to learn that he only received 16 first-place votes for the 2019-20 NBA MVP award that went to Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

“It pissed me off. That’s my true answer,” he said after the Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets 126-114 in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. “It pissed me off because out of 101 votes, I got 16 first-place votes. That’s what pissed me off more than anything. Not saying the winner wasn’t deserving of the MVP, but that pissed me off.”


...“He deserves it,” Anthony Davis said of James after the Lakers big man posted a game-high 37 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. “What he’s been able to do for our team, things he’s been doing individually on a consistent basis, night in and night out, it’s not even a question who deserves it.”

Davis also suggested that players should be a part of the voting process. Right now the honor is only selected by media members.

James waited for Davis to finish his presser Friday night like he always does. When Davis concluded, he approached James playfully and asked him if he needed a hug.

James clarified that he was pissed when he found out about the voting results, but he suggested that he was at peace and that he’d sleep well.

“I’m fine. Don’t get it twisted. I’m going back to my room perfectly fine,” he said. “We’re up 1-0 in the Western Conference finals. I’m absolutely fine. I was pissed off at the reaction earlier when I saw it. I’m absolutely great now. I’m going back to my room and to drink some wine.”

Shut up and dribble.
Be glad people are entertained by a useless skill

Biggest difference between Jordan and LeBron...Jordan spent some time in college. LeBron is not very smart. He also commented on the Lori Loughlin case the other day. His handlers and script writers better get back to work.

broken clock is right twice a day

Not the first time he complained about not winning an award, the type of stuff real men don't worry about

Life is not about personal accolades, it's about doing the right thing and being proud of the man that you are

Just curious, what skill do you have to generate this:

What is LeBron James' total net worth? James' career earnings are well over $1 billion dollars. The Nike deal alone will earn James more than a billion over his lifetime, but he also has his NBA salary, other endorsements, and an emerging career in Hollywood.

It is a useless skill in society. We could easily live without it. That is the point. Not everything is about money. And just because you make money does not mean your ability is needed. He doesn't seem too bright. Without his size AND his athletic ability he would be nowhere

It's a game, he's lucky he didn't live in an era or in a country such games don't exist. If he's worried about not winning the MVP, imagine his life if he had to work?

Damn

At lest Lebron's skill set can't be duplicated by a rather simple computer program.

 

[Ricboff]

lol, need algos?...good thing he's 'lucky'. Reap what u sow

 

[crudebar]

lol....good thing he's 'lucky'

You have to understand Lebron is a stupid athlete playing a game. While Tom Brady is a professor saving lives. When you understand that you will understand "them"

Or its a simple one doesn't share my politics and the other one does and that's all i ever think about.

 

[Willie99]

Clueless has ever, you really shouldn't talk about stuff you have no knowledge of. Then again, that would mean you couldn't talk period

You just don't comprehend much, one dumb sum bitch



Damn, we having a discussion about how silly it is for Lebron to complain about not winning some award, but really clueless fucks think this is about politics

You just can't make shit this stupid up

I'm just giving the information I guess that you don't have:

Lebron James only opts into business partnerships when he will receive equity in the companies he’s working with. He has parlayed his basketball talent into an empire, working with an incredible variety of companies and business moguls, including Bubblicious, Cannondale, Beats Electronics, Jay-Z, and Warren Buffett, who says James is “very smart financially.”

Like the honesty, hate the pettiness. Seems like the type of shit you publicly bite your lip on and just say congrats. Be humble.
Say whatever you want to your teammates and buddies.
