1. LeBron James
The best player in the world. Arguably the best player of all time. LeBron James is up to his old tricks again, scoring 25.6 points per game on .601 shooting.
THAT’S 25.6 POINTS PER GAME ON BETTER THAN 60 PERCENT FROM THE FLOOR.
Mr. George is scoring 24.4 points per game on .465 shooting. Durant? He’s scoring his 29.5 points by converting 46 percent of his shots. You know Blake Griffin? That guy whose shots come from whatever the microscopic distance between his hand and the rim is on a dunk? He’s shooting .563 this season. James is also shooting .484 from three so far–the best average of his career.
James is still finding ways to improve people, y’all better look out. The best player in the NBA remains the favorite for the MVP award.
