His averages in his senior year just before the draft were rather insane as he averaged 30.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists, per game. There was certainly hype surrounding the high school prospect, and LBJ didn’t disappoint.

After being taken as the number 1 overall pick in the 2003 draft, LBJ showed his class in his rookie season. In the 79 games he played, the ‘Chosen One’ averaged 20.9 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game.

18 seasons and 4 MVP trophies later, LBJ has one of the best careers in the league and continues to be the best player on the court.

Can LeBron win his 5th MVP trophy this season?

Given how talented the NBA has become lately, it is incredible to see James being one of the first names in the NBA conversation. The 36-year-old is a constant in the regular-season MVP trophy conversation.

But despite being a constant presence in the MVP nominations, LBJ hasn’t won the MVP trophy in eight seasons now. However, this season, he might be in the running again.

The 36-year-old hasn’t missed a single game this season and has led the Lakers to a record of 24 wins and 11 losses, the second-best in the NBA. James has averaged 25.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game.

If he can maintain this form, he will remain one of the favorites to conquer the MVP trophy. But he faces tough competition from 76ers’ Joel Embiid. Can he trounce the 7’0″ Cameroonian in the MVP race?
