    Max needs to know. The question is league MVP. Not team MVP.

    Trade Simmons for Beal. Then they would be a larger threat. Lakers have a great team and the beat odds but if Sixers wanna be a contender they should trade Simmons for Beal

    Kawhi would be mvp if the season ended. 50 40 90 and the best record when he plays

    Lebron is STILL in the MVP talks during his 18th season! That along with all his other career achievements just prove he’s the GOAT! People need to stop hating foreal

      A player with 6 rings 6 finals mvps 5 regular season mvps 10 scoring titles 3 steals titles 1 defensive player of the year award highest player efficiency rating of all time and highest ppg average in nba history playoffs and regular season says otherwise people are annoyed by lebron fans because if you don’t think he’s the goat .. you’re a hater.. that’s weird to me.

    Not a big fan of Lebron, but I respect him. I will always be a Jordan fan for life. Anyways, I agree with Max on this one, who I rarely agree with.

    again only 2 players. KD? zion? and why not ben simmons? he’s the ball handle and not embiid. so kawhi will never a candidate since he was bad last year playoffs?

    How many times are we gonna snub LeBron for mvp. Just give it to him at this point. LeBron is the best player in the world

    SAS: “Without Lebron, the lakers with Davis and holiday would be the NOP”

    Same NOP that Blew out the very good Portland TrailBlazers 4-0? That’s a helluva team you got there. Embiid is the answer to this question

  14. Ra No

    LBJ realy took serious securing MVP this year.
    He wiped out Embiid

  15. Eric Thompson

    Steve a, wasn’t Lebron James there last year without AD ! So let’s be perfectly clear it’s not all about Lebron it’s the combination of AD and Lebron!! Without AD the Lakers are the Pelicans!!!????????????????
