Lebron James Wins 2009 NBA MOST VALUABLE PLAYER (MVP)

http://www.GardeniaMarketing.com Lebron James wins his first NBA MOST VALUABLE PLAYER Award (2009 MVP) Cleveland Cavs Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James huffed and puffed about being pushed and shoved by the Detroit Pistons. Then, he stopped lobbying for help from the officials and blew the Pistons down - and almost out of the playoffs. James scored 11 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, lifting the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 79-68 victory Friday night over Detroit and a 3-0 lead in the first-round series. "Once he decided to say, `Hey, I'm not getting calls. I'm going to will this team to a win,' our whole team changed,'' Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "Watching him flip that switch, it was very exciting. "I just get a rush thinking about it.'' The Pistons, James. He had an alley-oop slam midway through the fourth quarter during an 18-2 run that started after the sixth tie of the game. "Big-time players make plays, and that's what he did,'' Detroit coach Michael Curry said. James had 11 rebounds and nine assists. He said he learned he was just short of a triple-double after looking at the stat sheet. "When I got to the locker room, I blamed Mo Williams,'' James joked. James did get some help from his friends. Joe Smith had a career playoff-high 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas scored 13 points Detroit has advanced to at least the Eastern Conference finals the previous six seasons - the longest such streak in the NBA since the Los Angeles Lakers' run two decades ago - but now it's an eighth-seeded team with virtually no chance to survive the first round. "This is killing me,'' Richard Hamilton Kobe Bryant
