Currently, LeBron James is holding the position of reigning Finals MVP after leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a stunning upset, last year. His heroics, along with Kyrie Irving’s, led to the Golden State Warriors’ historic season ending without a title. The Cavs have played well since.
LeBron James re-established himself as the NBA’s best player, a title many were giving to Steph Curry. But, LeBron’s strong play, paired with the Warriors’ addition of Kevin Durant has changed things. While some, mainly Charles Barkley, having words for LeBron, he has an award.
In a little over a week, the NAACP will hold the 48th Annual Image Awards, which will air on TV One. Tonight, LeBron James will be presented with his first-ever Jackie Robinson Sports Award, prior to the Cavs’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Highlights from the ceremony will air on February 11, during the Image Awards’ broadcast.
