LeBron James took home the MVP Award and the win as “Team LeBron” defeated “Team Stephen” 148-145 in the first ever playground pick-em style game on Sunday (February 18).
James had 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. He also had a clutch layup late in the game to help secure the three-point victory.

LeBron made a layup to give his team a 146-145 lead prior to a steal and a Russell Westbrook game-winning lay in to complete the scoring.
