LEBRON James will be named the National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player for the fourth season in his career, the second year in a row and the fourth time in five seasons, ESPN reported on Friday.
Citing unnamed league sources, the sports TV network said the Miami Heat star will join legends Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Russell as MVP award winners at least four times in their careers.
A 120-member media panel votes to determine the MVP award winner.
"King James" won his first NBA crown last year with the Heat and Miami advanced to the second round of this year's playoffs by sweeping the Milwaukee Bucks. Miami will play the winner of today's Brooklyn Nets-Chicago Bulls game in round two.
James averaged 26.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocked shots a game in 76 appearances this season, his 10th in the NBA.
He shot career bests of 56.5 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from 3-point range and finished second in NBA Defensive Player of the Year voting to Spanish big man Marc Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies.
