Prior to the Cavaliers' regular season finale against the Wizards on Wednesday, LeBron James was asked who he would give his MVP vote for, if he was allowed to vote.
His response was not for himself, nor was it for Steph Curry, James Harden or Russell Westbrook.
Surprisingly enough, James said he would vote for teammate Kevin Love.
LeBron asked who his MVP pick is pregame. After a slight pause: "Kevin Love."

There is no way LeBron was serious because 1) Kevin Love has been somewhat of a non-factor for the Cavs this season and 2) there has been a rumoured riff between the two for quite some time.
It could be a slight at Love following his claim that he would not vote for LeBron for MVP. At the very minimum, this is an excellent troll play by LeBron, who seems to be rounding into postseason form on multiple levels.
