MIAMI Heat star LeBron James will be named the NBA Most Valuable Player for the 2011-2012 NBA season, ESPN reported yesterday, giving the American superstar the award for the third time.
James won the 2009 and 2010 NBA Most Valuable Player awards but was beaten in voting for the award last season by Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose.
ESPN cited an unnamed source close to James in reporting that James would be announced as the winner this weekend. Miami will play host to Indiana in game one of their best-of-seven Eastern Conference playoff series tomorrow.
The Heat announced plans late last night for an event in the team's home arena this afternoon.
If James takes his third MVP award, he will share fifth on the all-time list of multiple MVP winners. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won the award six times with Bill Russell and Michael Jordan winning it five times each Wilt Chamberlain taking it four times.
