Somebody didn't vote LeBron James for MVP


LeBron James won his fourth MVP award in five years on Sunday, joining some elite company. He almost entered a class of his own. One first-place vote for Carmelo Anthony kept LeBron from becoming the first unanimous MVP selection in NBA history. Kevin Durant got no first-place votes. James received the other 120.

Frank Isola of the New York Daily News dropped some potentially controversial insight:

Unless the guilty party admits to casting the first-place vote for Melo, we'll never know for sure who it was. Stay tuned.
