If the oddsmakers and the Lakers record are any indication, LeBron James is highly unlikely to even be considered for NBA MVP in 2019. However, according to one Laker legend, the Lakers struggles this season only serves to further help LeBron’s case as league MVP.
That was the spicy take that came from former Laker Metta World Peace, who shared that he believes James is still the best player in the world because of the bad season the Lakers had. World Peace also decided to include a hashtag naming the fast casual pizza joint LeBron is an investor in, Blaze Pizza.
@KingJames is definitely MVP this year. It showed how when he got hurt, the team really was effected . Best player in world . Maybe in a couple years he will slow down. But not right now. #blazepizza
If @ZO2_ and @KingJames was healthy , Lakers would have still been in 4th place— Metta World Peace (@MettaWorldPeace) March 11, 2019

Although the take is unconventional, it’s also perfectly Metta World Peace.
