Following Cleveland’s 109-97 win over Detroit, J.R. Smith was interviewed about superstar Lebron James. James, who has been the driving force for the Cavs, recorded his second triple-double of the season — with 21 points, eleven assists and ten rebounds against the Pistons.
“Who? The real MVP?” Smith proclaimed. “There’s a lot of speculation about who should get the award, but we all know who the real MVP is.”
“You see one year removed from a team like Miami — and they probably won’t even make the playoffs — to a team that hasn’t made the playoffs since he left and then, all of the sudden, we’re a 52-win team,” Smith continued. “So I don’t think you can do that with anybody else that’s in our league right now.”
