Larry Sanders Says Lakers’ LeBron Is The MVP, Not Antetokounmpo

Lakers superstar LeBron James is the perfect NBA MVP candidate this season. Although many thought that Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokoumpo is the frontrunner, it looks like LeBron will snatch the award in June. Former NBA star Larry Sanders discussed the MVP candidates, and according to him, LeBron is the only candidate to get it.

Larry Sanders made a good point

“Who’s the league MVP? You know it’s so crazy ‘cause you know you look at LeBron right – I think because this guy has been so consistent in his greatness and you’re kind of like ‘who are we going to give it to? Me?’ – this guy has been MVP for damn near like EVERY year. I feel like it’s not even fair to keep giving it to him because other people need to sign. It’s a league of – it’s a business. And you know, I love Giannis and I think that he’s got a long list of MVP’s coming up, and a long list of accolades coming up, and a whole lot of records to break. He’s a mad young dog, he’s got like fifteen years [laughs]. So it’s like LeBron is in a little different position. He just continues to lead and do his thing man, and shine and also do a lot more. I think he should get it.”

This season, LeBron is averaging 25.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 0.5 blocks and 10.6 assists per game, while shooting at 49.8% from the floor.

His rival, Giannis, is averaging 29.6 points, 13.7 boards, 1.0 steal, 1.0 block and 5.8 assists per game while shooting at 54.7% from the field.

LeBron has been doing an excellent job with the Los Angeles Lakers this season. The Lakers were out of the playoff race last season. However, things changed this time. LeBron and Anthony Davis have helped his teammates win games.

The NBA suspended the regular season for 30 days. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and his team work on possible solutions for the next period. Is this the end of the regular season? We’ll have to wait for a few weeks to get an answer. The Lakers are still on the top.
