Friedman: Now that Bryant won an MVP award, James is the best active player who has not received that honor. As long as he is healthy, James figures to put up MVP-level statistics for at least the next 10 years, so the timing of him winning his first MVP has more to do with his teams overall performance than anything else. In effect, the tiebreaker last year that enabled Bryant to win the MVP was that his Lakers finished with the best record in arguably the most competitive Western Conference race ever. If the Cavaliers exceed the 50-win plateau and contend for the best record in the East, then James will garner a lot of support from the MVP voters.
