LeBron James’ Biggest Defender at ESPN Takes Shot at Kawhi Leonard While Praising The King

LeBron James will compete with Kawhi Leonard and Joel Embiid for the MVP award. These three are favorites to win the individual award this season. Their teams have the best chance to make the NBA Finals. Leonard and Embiid have never won this award. LeBron is a four-time MVP. Max Kellerman talked about Embiid and his chances to win the MVP award in 2021.

One of LeBron’s greatest supporters took a shot at the Clippers veteran.

LeBron is in his 18^th NBA season. He turned 36 in December and plays his best basketball. That’s what makes him the greatest of all time. The four-time NBA champion played in 25 games for the Lakers, averaging 25.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 8.0 assists while shooting 49.7% from the field, 39.8% from beyond the arc, and 71.5% from the free-throw line. It’s interesting to note that LeBron is playing 34.5 minutes per game which is career-low for him. But, his stats are instane.

That’s not all. LeBron has 11 double-dubles and three triple-doubles. Los Angeles has a 19-6 record and rank recond in the West. Fans do hope to see LeBron’s team and the Clippers in the 2021 Western Conference Finals.

LeBron James to beat Kawhi Leonard again

Leonard and Embiid have great seasons, but LeBron is the MVP for the season. Kendrick Perkins discussed the MVP race while praising LeBron’s offense and defense. According to him, LeBron is much better than Embiid and the Clippers star.

Perkins is one of the greatest fans LeBron will ever have. He played with the king of basketball in Cleveland and has seen him win games. Kellerman likes Leonard. He was more than convinced that the Clippers would win the title in 2020. Well, his Clippers spoiled a 3-1 lead and lost the series to the Denver Nuggets.

Leonard is a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, but LeBron is better than him. That’s what Perkins said.

LeBron plays elite defense for his team. Los Angeles has the best defense in the NBA.
