3- LeBron James – Cleveland Cavaliers

Stats: 20.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists

Record: 4-0

While it seems like LeBron James always has a case to be made for the NBA MVP award, this year should be of no difference.

James is a freak of nature who has shown glimpses of unbelievable athleticism, even at the ripe age of 31, which keeps everyone guessing how much more he has in the tank.

Nearly averaging a triple-double and leading his team to a 4-0 start, a start that the Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t had since the 2000-01 season, James is still the best player in the game, and he will remain in the discussion for MVP all year-long.
