CLEVELAND — The NBA’s MVP can now take his second trophy home.
Cavaliers superstar LeBron James was presented with his second straight MVP award on Monday night by commissioner David Stern in a ceremony before Cleveland hosted the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal.
Stern called James an “extraordinary” talent before giving the trophy to James, who won in a landslide vote announced Sunday, shortly before tip-off.
With the crowd doing its customary “M-V-P!” chant, James thanked his teammates and then reminded the 20,000-plus fans that his goal is to win a championship this season.
During a news conference, Stern said he is amazed at how James can shoot halfcourt shots with a simple flick of his wrist.
