LeBron James has been a star in the league ever since his debut. Despite being 36, he is still one of the best if not the best player in the NBA.

After an injury-laden first season with the Lakers, the King made a bold statement as he led the Purple and Gold to their 17th championship. He also won his 4th championship and his 4th Final MVP in the process.

Last season James averaged 25.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game. This led to the Lakers having the best record in the East and made a strong case for the King to be in the running for the MVP title.

Unfortunately, the King lost out to the Antetokounmpo, who won his second successive MVP title. Understandably James was not a big fan of this decision and is eager to win his 5th MVP title this season.

Can LeBron James win his fifth MVP trophy?

The champions, Los Angeles Lakers, are off to a splendid start. With 8 victories in the 11 games they have played, they have the best record in the NBA.

LeBron has been the key component for this insane record. Coming into the season, many predicted that James would miss multiple games from the start. However, that hasn’t been the case.
