Lebron was still viewed as the best player in the world in 21 until Solomon hill injury gm survey that year had him clear n1 and he was mvp favourite with embid being injured his only competitor. Also 2016 after finals no one though steoh , 2008-2010 is also Lebron the moment of his first mvp 2009 I can’t see anyone arguing otherwise unless you’re going to give Kobe credit for a better team . Magic shot 41%+ from 3 while cavs shot low 30s: actually I think non Lebron cavs barely shot 30.%, Dwight shot 70%+ from the ft line. Brons team mates shooting awful from 3 n Dwight’s hot ft shooting isn’t why Kobe was better then Bron , you can argue Kobe the mvp year but even that year was a legacy mvp by the numbers that should’ve been cp3 mvp year quite clearly .
