In my mind, everybody is chasing LeBron James for NBA MVP.
(Gus Chan/The Plain Dealer)
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- NBA MVP talk should begin with LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Only if LeBron's on-court responsibility decreases and production falls off should he not win -- and that certainly is not the case this season.
LeBron as leading MVP candidate was one of the topics discussed in my weekly Monday appearance on the Nick Wilson Experiment on 92.3 The Fan. The Presidents Day sub-host was Jonathan Peterlin.
Among other topics:
*Fallout from Kyrie Irving's views on the shape of the world.
*LeBron vs. Steph Curry.
*Curry's repeated misses from halfcourt in civvies on All-Star Saturday Night.
*The Cavs coming out of the All-Star break.
*A.J. McCarron as a potential bridge quarterback for the Browns.
*Corey Kluber potentially not being ready for Opening Day.
