what?I wouldn't be so sure of that breh, but it can be looked up. Not by me though.
Edit: Durant wasn't even top 5 in voting last season; he was from 2010 through 2014 and this current season. Kobe was top 5 from 2002-2004, missed it the next season, then was top five the following eight seasons. Duncan had 8 in a row. Shaq's longest streak was 4, and he was top five in 4 other seasons.
So, yeah, LeBron's run is pretty much out of this world. The only other guy on that level is Kareem, who had 12 in a row.

Exactly and a key people are ignoring is brons health and injury free career minus the few that ached himI wouldn't be so sure of that breh, but it can be looked up. Not by me though.

For fukks sakes he was top 4 last year with a bad back, new roster, rookie nba coach, and he lost 20 pounds over the summer. This is insane when relaly thought about
Kobe had major injuries and roste rturn over that kept him out the running
Same with shaq
Jordan might have been the same had he not left twice in the mid and late 90s
Maybe magic, bird, kareem had similar tenures but id have tk go snd find the votes if they are public record
Bill Simmons and a few others have pointed this out.
We haven't seen a player in NBA History dominate like LeBron has for 13+ years in a very very long time. Jordan did it because you can't really count his break in between playing baseball.
Wilt, Jordan, Shaq...who else? The scary thing is that LeBron looks like he might be able to pull these same type of stats for another 3 years after this one...which would make it 16 for him.
edit: Kobe had an impressive 14 year run as well, but individual stats? LeBron has that beat.

Dude said "no wonder he is mad" as if he has some sort of legitimate reason to throw shade on Steph just because he's been an MVP candidate every year. Every top 10 player is an MVP candidate every year. Why would LeBron have a unique claim to being upset?
It's impressive, but a lot of guys have been top 10 players for a decade plus.
Gotdamn they bring out all kind of stats to make this dude look like a winner
Nikka he is a winner
O.T.I.S.
The Monk & The Mercenary
I wonder who else has the most finals losses in historyHe's a loser now?
Stack Money
All Star
Yeah he lost 4 times.He's a loser now?
Nikka he is a winner
He's also a loser, he's actually more of a loser than a winner.

This is the first time I've ever seen a person being praised for being top 5 in voting for an MVP award.
You could've just said LeBrons been a top 5 player for 11 straight years I don't think anyone would disagree.
fukk this participant trophy bs.

I said "comparable." At that point it's meaningless and it comes down to how your team is composed. We are not talking about winning the award. We're talking about votes. Writers do whatever the hell they want based on subjective shyt after they vote the top 3.I wouldn't be so sure of that breh, but it can be looked up. Not by me though.

Durant was hurt last year, don't be ridiculous. There is nothing that differentiates LeBron's MVP top 5 voting run from any other elite player. Winning it is one thing, but being top 5 in voting is not a real stat and as subjective as the award is, it becomes pointless. LeBron is great, since when did we start including MVP VOTES, not wins but VOTES to somehow demonstrate a guy is greater than others. When Shaq came to Miami and Wade did not finish top 5 in MVP voting, was he not top 5 in the league? @Based Lord Zedd gets it.
he still made it to the finalsI wonder who else has the most finals losses in history
