Lakers News: Media Still Has Giannis Antetokounmpo Ahead Of LeBron James For 2019-20 NBA MVP

Before the 2019-20 NBA season was suspended, one of the biggest developing stories was that of the Most Valuable Player award race.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was thought to have his second straight award in the bag, but LeBron James was gaining a ton of momentum behind his case.

Following James’ performance in back-to-back wins against Antetokounmpo’s Bucks as well as the Los Angeles Clippers, some were claiming that he may have overtaken Antetokounmpo. Regardless of who was actually in the lead, a race that was deemed to be over was suddenly neck-and-neck.
