Alvin Gentry Argues LeBron James Is Far Ahead Of Competition For 2020 MVP

LeBron James has earned the praise of many athletes and coaches throughout his career. New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry was among the many to share words of praise for the Lakers superstar.

According to Gentry, LeBron is far ahead of the competition for the 2019-2020 Most Valuable Player award. Gentry talked to media members following the Pelicans 122-114 loss to LeBron’s team. He is impressed with the dominance LeBron had in the last decade. From his point of view, LeBron is the player who belongs in the MVP conversation.

 “I’m just amazed that they talk about anybody other than him for MVP. That’s what he does. Every team that he’s been to, every team that he’s gone have a chance to win the championship,” Gentry said of King James. “I’m not sure what the definition of MVP is but he makes everybody on his team better and it makes it difficult for everybody playing.”

LeBron has appeared in the eight straight NBA Finals from 2011 to 2018. During this stretch, LeBron was able to win three titles. His most recent win came after the brilliant 3-1 comeback against the 73-win Golden State Warriors. LeBron delivered the Cleveland Cavaliers their first title in team history. This title brought Cleveland’s 52-year title drought.

The Lakers acquired LeBron two years ago. It was more than obvious that the team was ready to rebuild the roster immediately. Having LeBron in the fold was an excellent advantage. The Lakers told the world that they are ready to win a title.

The Lakers are considered favorites to win the title. LeBron is 35 and he is in his 17^th season. There are no signs of aging. LeBron defies Father Time in the most brilliant way. According to Gentry, LeBron should be the MVP. This honor belongs to him. Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden, and Luka Doncic are out of the game. Their talent can’t match LeBron’s talent. LeBron and Anthony Davis make the best duo in the league. They are going to a title this season. Will they bring the title home? Of course they will!
