LeBron James wants the NBA to add new 'offensive' award

LeBron James has come up with a new award he’d like to see the NBA add: Offensive Player of the Year Award.

“I did think about how the NFL does Offensive Player of the Year and MVP,” LeBron said. “I thought that could possibly be something in our league, where you give an Offensive Player of the Year and an MVP.

“You could be on a poor team, have an unbelievable offensive year, and still win Offensive Player of the Year. And vice versa, you could maybe not have the best player in the league, but you were the most valuable in taking your team to a new height.

“It’s like, okay, so is it the best player? Is it the player who had the best season with their team? Maybe that’s Offensive Player of the Year,” LeBron continued.

“Or is it just simply the best player in the league? Statistically, this was the best player in the league. Obviously, you’re not going to have someone in there whose team didn’t come close to making the playoffs. It’s not the most valuable, then.”
