It\u2019s a trophy that gets discussed but nobody quite puts a focus on it like Mike James of AS Monaco. Emmet Ryan writes about how James is the fire that makes discussing the MVP of Euroleague Basketball worthwhile<\/em><\/p>\n

Every year it feels like we have this discussion. Every year the answer seems to guarantee one thing. Mike James will be at the top of the Euroleague MVP discussion but he won’t win it. This season, it feels a little different.<\/p>\n

All that noise<\/h4>\n

Before diving into the case for Mike James as Euroleague MVP for this season, or his past cases, let\u2019s not forget pre-season. There was a lot of noise around Mike James and most of it wasn\u2019t sought by the man himself.<\/p>\n

AS Monaco made a marquee signing in the summer in the form of Kemba Walker. It was a big splash for the club, signing a four time NBA All Star. Out of seemingly nowhere, Mike James was not the biggest name on his own roster. Indeed, it looked like he may not even be the guy on his own team.<\/p>\n

There were also rumours that somebody would come in big for him. Olympiacos was the name most often mentioned. Even in my wildly distracted<\/a> mental state at the time, I couldn\u2019t avoid the what would happen to Mike James debate.<\/p>\n
