LeBron James will be named MVP

You knew it was coming. It was only a matter of time, but you knew. Kind of like how we all know that "Furry Vengeance" is going to be a really great movie, we're all aware that LeBron James is this season's Most Valuable Player.

Now, according to Waiting for Next Year and confirmed by Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, it's official.

LeBron James will become the 10th player in NBA history to win back-to-back Most Valuable Player Awards when results of the nationwide voting are announced Sunday, sources told The Plain Dealer.

James is expected to have a press conference at The University of Akron and accept the Maurice Podoloff Trophy and the Kia car that comes with the honor. Last season when James won for the first time, he accepted at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in his hometown.

NBA Commissioner David Stern is expected for formally give him the trophy before Monday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics at The Q.

While James will be the 10th player in NBA history to win back-to-back MVPs, he'll be the first to do so in a season that included an off-hand free throw in the final seconds of a playoff game. Quite the honor.

There's no word yet on whether LeBron was a unanimous vote for MVP, but odds are he wasn't. Remember, he sat out a few games at the end of the season and some people think that means he shouldn't be the Most Valuable Player, despite the fact that he had one of the best statistical seasons of all-time and was somehow better than last year when he took home his first trophy. Silliness.

Like I said, considering LeBron's dominance this year, it's exactly zero percent surprising that he'll be getting another MVP. Heck, like Stan Van Gundy says, he could win the next 10. But what is surprising is that as of Sunday, LeBron James will own two Kias.
