Following the news, former NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury (who was at the game) wrote on Instagram that he disagrees with James winning MVP.

His comment had over 500 likes in six hours.

Marbury wrote: "They gave the MVP to the wrong player. Maybe they called out the wrong name by accident. I think we need to try to rewind ⏪ the moment when @stephencurry30 displayed himself as the best shooter who ever touched the ball. In international ball, if you can’t shoot, you can’t have the ball at the end of the game. I get LeBron is the King to many, but let me say this: when you give him what he doesn’t deserve, you basically say that because of what he’s done, he should receive such a high honor on the biggest stage. No, he didn’t earn it this time."
