Eighteen years of playing NBA basketball and LeBron James still looks like a strong contender for the most valuable player award. Eighteen years of playing at a high level and James still dominates the game like few have. Eighteen years of playing all-around superb basketball and James is still chasing greatness that few have attained.
James is 36 and he’s still producing numbers like the 37 points on 14-for-22 shooting, eight rebounds and six assists in carrying the Lakers to a 116-105 win over Charlotte on Thursday night at Staples Center.
To be crowned MVP of the league this season, to get the award over so many other worthy candidates would mean a lot to James.
