Lebron is not mvp?

If Lebron wins the mvp this year it totally takes away what the mvp award is supposed to be now a days and that's the best player on a team that has a great regular season record and Lebron doesn't quailify then. Being around 10 games over 500 in the weak east is nothing special. The mvp race should be between Kobe,Chris Paul, and Kevin Garnett. Who's gonna win mvp and would you rather have the nba go back to individual performance or stay with team record for the mvp?
