Summary

LeBron James is now the oldest player in NBA history to garner MVP votes. Wednesday, when the league announced the results, not surprisingly Shai Gilgeous-Alexander walked away with his first trophy, with Nikola Jokic the runner up. But down there in sixth was LeBron James. His first MVP votes came as a 19-year old with the Cavs in his rookie season. And now, he's finished 6th. Pretty remarkable, and well-deserved after a season where he averaged over 24 points, and almost eight assists and rebounds per game. So what does this mean going forward? LeBron has now played 141 games over the last two seasons, putting at least some of the durability and health questions to bed... except he's going to turn 41 this year so really, do those questions ever go away? Is it reasonable to expect more of the same from LBJ, especially knowing the team will be built around Luka Dončić, who will be assigned most of the heavy lifting offensively? Plus, the debate about Shai and foul-hunting consumed NBA social media after the Thunder beat Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Is "the discourse" on to something? Or does everyone need to get offline a little more? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: LeBron finishes sixth in MVP voting. SEGMENT 2: What can LA expect from him going forward? SEGMENT 3: Shai, the playoffs, officiating and how it all impacts the Lakers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
