LeBron James is aging and many questions begin to land on its level. The proof two polls came to contradict each other on his subject. Some GMs still see him at the top of the hierarchy, and others not at all!
Like every season since his arrival in the NBA, LeBron James will be one of the most followed players in the entire league. It must be said that after the first elimination in the first round of his career against the Suns a few months ago, the leader of the Lakers will no doubt be keen to rectify the situation and bring his team to the top. For that we will have to maintain a sacred level of play and good health.
If he succeeds, the Purple and Gold could quickly find themselves in the shoes of the favorites for the title with the Nets. And according to several GMs this will be the case. Asked by the official website of the NBA, several executives were rather laudatory against the King in a very specific poll: who will be the best player in each position during the coming season. The King’s name came up several times!

As crazy as it sounds, LeBron James has been cited for being the best point guard in the league, which he was in 2020 by finishing as the best passer, but also the best winger and the best strong winger! No matter how old he is, everyone is still expecting a big season from the No.6, regardless of their position on the pitch. On the other hand, no one sees him capable of being an MVP any more, as another survey of GMs reveals.

According to the GMs interviewed, LeBron James will have no chance of being an MVP at the end of next season. It must be said that the competition will be tough, with a Kevin Durant at the top of his game and a Giannis Antetokounmpo on a cloud after his title last season. And then, the King will not even necessarily be the leader of the Lakers, since he has entrusted this role to a young teammate…
LeBron James will be strong enough to be one of the best players in multiple roles next season, but not strong enough to be GM’s MVP. It’s up to him to prove them wrong.
