LeBron James won't debate whether Golden State's Stephen Curry should be the NBA's MVP this season. “I think sometimes the word `valuable' or best player of the year, you can have different results,” said James, a four-time MVP. James, who averaged 25.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists during the regular season, was awed by Curry's shooting prowess. One day after Curry was voted the first unanimous winner in 61 years, James, who finished third behind Curry and San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard, said the honor can be interpreted in different ways. “You know, that's not taking anything from anyone that's ever won the award.“’Curry is the 11th player in league history to be voted MVP in consecutive seasons and first since James in 2012 and 2013.
