Unstoppable at both ends of the floor this season, LeBron James claimed
the league MVP on Monday, receiving the award in the high school gym
where he first emerged on the national scene.
"This is a place where all my dreams started and where I thought they
could become real," James said in accepting the award at St. Vincent-St.
Mary High School. "There's really not a better place."
The Cleveland Cavaliers star won what some expected to be a close vote
in a slam dunk. He received 109 of a possible 121 first-place votes to easily
outdistance Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. James totaled 1,172
points in balloting by media members in the U.S. and Canada.
