Lebron has now lost 3 straight MVP Trophy Games

[rm18]

Less than a 1% chance of than according to the ML's

[Ratzz]

i don't think so... i noticed this trend first when kevin Garnett won it in Minny...
presented with trophy.. spanked by Lakers..

same with Steve Nash... i think he lost both of those as well..

it could be a psychological factor.. the player wants to appear humble, and not piggish
and indulgent especially on that day.. so he tones it down, tries to look non-chalant

It clearly shows LeBron isn't the Best. The Best don't lose -1000 ML's

[TheMoneyShot]

I want to know players in the NBA who have lost -1000 and higher ML's in their career?

Mike Bibby
Chris Webber
Vlade Divac
LeBron James
Chris Bosh
Dwayne Wade

Those are just a few off the top of my head.


Kobe hasn't lost a -1000 ML in his career

Kobe hasn't lost a -1000 ML in his career

lol.. false

Dec 2nd, 2012 (THIS season).. didn't have to go far back*

http://espn.go.com/nba/recap?id=400277964

ORLANDO *113, LA Lakers 103

Lakers gave up 40 pts. in the 4th Qtr.

LINE: Orlando (+13.5) IN Los Angeles

Kobe shot 27 shots... but only 2 Assists.

Orlando won Assist Battle.. 34 to 20 (almost double).
no way to lose if you share ball like that*

[Ratzz]

at least Chicago is a playoff team.. and in the 2nd round..

Heat also off for a week.

Orlando was 5-10 when they played the Lakers on Dec. 2nd

I think maybe he meant in the playoffs.

[TheMoneyShot]

Ratzz - Good post! Wow... I'm shocked. Unreal. Even -1000 ML's aren't a guarantee.

[Ratzz]

I think maybe he meant in the playoffs.

i would think he is right then..*

but MVP games... almost always tank.. it's the kiss of death.
they should do it in the 1st round..

[Seto]

Rose also lost to the Hawks when he won it in 2011.

Curse of MVP?

[Mac4Lyfe]

I was going to post yesterday that there seems to be an mvp curse. I dont know the numbers but it seems like most lose on that day at a high rate...

[ROFLcopter]

This is interesting. Does it go back any further? I believe there's a MVP curse in the nfl/MLB where MVPs rarely win the Super Bowl/world series

[Sport_Fish]

Man how did no1 make a thread about this before yesterday's game ? was free money on Bulls

[raydog]

im just glad this wasnt another thread comparing james to jordan... when will people realize that there is jordan and then there is everyone else.

[Smoke]

Hes jordan like

[jsmithj88]

Hes jordan like

no he is not
if anything he is like magic johnson

[rm18]

Yeh Lebron is not the only one but it is always a home game usually against a worse team so it is pretty crazy. I remember when David Robinson got MVP Olajuwon embarassed him.

[raydog]

Hes jordan like

he got the skin color right, thats about the only similarity

[Frisco]

Didn't Dirk get bounced in the first round the year he won it?

[Ratpack]

yeah he lost to gsw frisco
