“It simply came to my notice then. That’s my honest answer, “said the four-time MVP winner after Friday’s first final of the Western Conference, in which the Los Angeles Lakers defeated Denver 126: 114. “I was upset because I only got 16 out of 101 votes,” he said.
“I am not saying that the winner did not deserve the MVP. But this annoys me. And I finished second many times in my career, both in the league and now for the fourth time in the MVP, “said three-time NBA champion James, who became the most useful player in the competition four times in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013.
The award is given for performances in the basic part of the competition and this season was limited to March 11, when the season was interrupted due to a coronavirus pandemic. The finish in the “bubble” in Orlando before the playoffs was no longer evaluated. Adetokunbo received the remaining 85 first places in the vote and defended last year’s championship. James Harden from Houston finished third.

On that occasion, James also questioned the criteria that determine the winner. He stated that they are not uniform and are changing. “Sometimes he is the best player on the best team. Sometimes he is the player with the best statistics. I mean, you just don’t know. But Janis had a devilish season, I can definitely say that, “said James. Adetokunbo scored 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists during the period and led the Bucks to victory in the regular season.
