LeBron James has no problem with Steph Curry’s MVP, but he does think that the actual meaning of the award should be open to debate.

While speaking to reporters about Curry’s unanimous MVP, James opened up on his thoughts about the award. He said that there should be a conversation over who is “most valuable” rather than necessarily the best player.

James said (via the Associated Press):

“I think sometimes the word ‘valuable’ or best player of the year, you can have different results. You know, that’s not taking anything from anyone that’s ever won the award.'”

James, a four-time MVP, hasn’t won the award since 2013. The Cavaliers finished the regular season as the No. 1 seed in the East and have reached the conference finals for a second straight season.

He reaffirmed that he wasn’t taking anything away from Curry, but “most valuable” could have multiple interpretations.

James went on:

“Look at Steph’s numbers. He averaged 30, he led the league in steals, he was 90-50-40 (shooting percentages from the free-throw line, field and 3-pointers), and they won 73 (games). So, I don’t, do you have any debate over that, really, when it comes to that award? But when you talk about most ‘valuable’ then you can have a different conversation, so, take nothing away from him, he’s definitely deserving of that award, for sure.”
