LeBron throws some shade with his MVP pick: 'Kevin Love'
The shade is real.
When LeBron James was asked who he would vote for the league's most valuable player, he chose his Cleveland Cavaliers teammate.

Anyone who considers this a nice gesture is not up to speed on the relationship between the two players.
Rumors have been swirling all season that there is a rift between Love and James. Love admitted that he and James aren't best friends, while James fired off a cryptic tweet about "fitting in" that many consider a shot at Love.
Things may have gotten worse in March, when Love appeared on the Dan Patrick Show and expressed his support for Oklahoma City Thunder point guard and former UCLA roommate, Russell Westbrook, as MVP instead of James.
James followed up with a diplomatic response, stating that he didn't really think too much of it.
But Wednesday's press conference shade says otherwise.
