08:05 AM ET 03.31 | This isn't LeBron James' first MVP vote, which earlier this season went to the once-streaking Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire. With a few weeks left before the playoffs, things have changed. James said Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose is his choice. Rose is generally regarded as the top candidate, with the Bulls on pace to earn the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Rose has kept the Bulls afloat despite injuries to Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah. "I think Derrick Rose," James said. "What he's done for that team, with all the injuries they have and them being first in the Eastern Conference. They're playing some really good basketball." James said he was leaning toward Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki until he was injured. Now, he's in full support of Rose.

LeQueen is busy giving his opinions this week. First he thought his number should be retired in Cleveland and now he's passing his MVP torch to Rose.

It just shows you how truly STUPID this turd is.
Clearly we all agree (except mma) that rose is the MVP

But if lbj had an OUNCE of brain function, he'd have said WADE
Even though it would be bull, you say your teammate.....
It woukd show him you appreciate his effort and that I is still his team....
But, alas ni......you just say the first thing that pops into your balding head cause that damn sweatband is too tight

Rose has to get the Bulls deep into the playoffs to surpass KoME. The Bulls are looking good, but depending on Loozer isn't something I'd bet on.

His number is never going to retire in Cleveland. Heck Z's number will probably retire before James's and thats saying something. They both did not do jack to deserve to get their number retired!

I think Emmit Smith said it best....

"We had some diamonds, but we had a lotta cow poo poo around it, and the diamonds was mixed in with the poo poo...it just all look like poo poo."

I think LBJ might have felt like that with some of the players there...

I have a similar take...

... don't have a problem with him stating Rose is a solid MVP choice.

It's not like other player's wouldn't make the same assertion.

James says a lot of things which aren't appropriate, but, do not see much in that statement that's inappropriate.
