Just as Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady continues to defy Father Time, LeBron James continues to look ageless as he dominates younger opponents. In his 18th professional season, the Los Angele Lakers’ star is arguably the best basketball player on the planet.
More than one-third of the way through the 2020-21 season, James continues to put up spectacular numbers for the league’s best team. The 36-year-old has been so impressive that his head coach believes another MVP award is forthcoming.
“That’s why he’s probably going to be this year’s MVP,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel told reporters after Los Angeles defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday night. “Carrying the load offensively and quarterbacking the defense the No. 1 defense in the league and taking these tough assignments and making these plays down the stretch. He’s playing terrific.”
