Fear the Newsletter: LeBron James is very, very good

Hello everyone and welcome to today's 'Fear the Newsletter', where we start off Monday with a dose of Cavs news..

If you have questions, compliments, concerns or complaints, drop me an e-mail at christopherwmanning@gmail.com. - Chris Manning, Editor at Fear the Sword

So, LeBron James was insane on Saturday. In a good way. On the second half of a back-to-back, James was a rebound shy of a triple-double and became the first frontcourt player ever to post 7.000 assists. And he looked pretty fly doing it.

Here's a question I'd love you for you, the Fear the Sword reader, to answer: where is LeBron James in the current MVP rankings? I currently have him third behind James Harden and Russell Westbrook. But I am very open to having first.

Today's Locked on Cavaliers talks about LeBron a bit, specifically with a focus on his minutes. The show, featuring FTS' Daniel Rowell, Michael Drapcho and Carter Rodriguez, answers listens questions about LeBron, possible trades and more. Check that out here.
