According to Espn.com, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland has reported that the NBA will announce LeBron James as its MVP today (Mon., May 4).
A day before the Cleveland Cavaliers begin their second-round series against the Atlanta Hawks, the league will anoint James, who turns 25 on Dec. 30, as its second-youngest MVP.
Wes Unseld won the award at 23 as a rookie with the Baltimore Bullets in 1968-69.
James, whose Cavaliers swept the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, averaged 28.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists during the regular season, his sixth in the NBA.
The Cavs host Atlanta on Tuesday after the Hawks finished off the Miami Heat in Game 7 of their first-round series Sunday.
