Following reigning NBA Finals MVP LeBron James’ performance for the Los Angeles Lakers in OT against the Oklahoma City Thunder last night, retired NBA Champion-turned-ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins names James the MVP front-runner:

“LeBron has aged and seasoned like wine. He’s facilitating, scoring and defending collectively at a level he’s NEVER done in his entire career, so when I say he’s front runner for MVP, you better believe it. This is LeBron at his best.”
