""This whole MVP thing, I don't understand why his name is not getting talked about some as well," James said. "Like, nobody gave them [the Celtics] a shot to start the season. And he's averaging what, 30? Just under 30? It's a popularity contest sometimes, I tell you.""
""I think he just used the motivation of a lot of people just saying that they're going to have a down year," James said. "The whole championship team pretty much is kind of revamped, and he used it as motivation to keep them afloat. They're playing great basketball, and it's because of him and the rest of those guys. He's taken that next step.""
