<p>The gang marvels at the absurdity of LeBron James passing 40,000 regular season points scored in his illustrious career.

Race for the NBA's MVP Award
<p>In a season of spectacular individual performances, Anu and A.C. examine this year's race for the coveted Most Valuable Player award. They discuss the five leading candidates and what makes them special as basketball players.
