Since his debut, James has won four regular-season MVPs, in 2008-09, 2009-10, 2011-12 and 2012-13. However, James would have had a chance to get more regular-season MVPs because he has performed very well in many seasons. No, the well-known American basketball media "FW" has posted that James regrettably lost the regular season MVP for 5 seasons, and he also has the strength to win awards in these seasons.
