NBA: Jaylen Brown leads Celtics in a Blowout victory over Cleveland Cavaliers with a record.


In the starting 18 games of the season, he scored 25.2 PPG with 7.9 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.4 blocks. In a game against Cleveland Cavaliers, he scored 46 points with great efficiency. If he will keep up to put this kind of number then he will be a clear favorite to win an MVP award. 

If LeBron James will not score more than 25 PPG with more than 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game with great defensive efficiency then he has no chance to win the MVP award against players like Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant, and young star players like Luka and Jaylen Brown. If LeBron James' team Los Angles Lakers will get the best record with a bigger margin than the second number team in the NBA than LeBron sure has a shot to win it. 


Until the 18 matches of the season Joel Embid is the clear-cut favorite to win the MVP award and if he will not face any injury and his team will do what they are doing now then no one can stop Joel Embiid from winning an MVP award. 76ers are leading the East with 12-6. Joel Embiid scored 27.7 PPG, 11.5 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.3 SPG, and 1.4 BPG. He is doing great in every field of the game. His team won 12 times and lost only 2 games when he played. 76ers lost all 4 games when he didn't play.


Kevin Durant scored 30.4 PPG with 7.1 RPG, 4.1 APG, 0.8 SPG, and 1.4 BPG. He is another player who has the best chance to win the MVP award if he plays the whole season.   


Giannis can get in the way of LeBron Jame as he is playing right now to win an MVP award. He scored 27 PPG with 10.5 RPG, 5.3 APG, 1.1 SPG, and 1.1 BPG in his first 15 games of the season. 


If LeBron James wants to win an MVP award then he has to put a better number than these kinds of players in the league. His superstar teammate Anthony Davis is not playing like he played in his first season for the Lakers.  


Now, LeBron James is getting older not as super-athletic as he was before and new young talents are playing like an elite of the NBA to win NBA's best awards. 


In the season of 2021, LeBron James has 5% of the chances to win an MVP award.

He averaged nearly 37.6 PPG and 9.6 assists in the bubble as Portland made into the playoffs with no. 8th seeded team in the Western Conference. Lillard improving a lot with every season passed, now he is capable of giving a win to his team on his own.

Damian has very good handling, post game, good mid range game and he has best skill to knock down long range shots. Last season he averaged 30 PPG with 4.3 RPG, 8.0 APG. Damian was on the 9th number last season.

Always it's hard to make strong come back after faving an Achilles injury. He was making the point as the NBA's most dominant individual force and some of his teammate and other players who played with him during rehab have been giving high hope for Kevin Durant.


5. Kawhi Leonard(Los Angeles Clippers):

He was on the no. 2 list last season by winning an NBA title with Toronto Raptors. Los Angeles Clippers made many moves to give their team best chance to win title including moves of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. They faced a heartbreaking loss to Denver Nuggets in the second round of the playoffs as they have 3-1 lead. Kawhi was aweful in last game against Nuggets in that series. His load management is also a huge problem for him and his team. He has a potential to take his old spot in the ranking and even a thron of LeBron James in that rankings.
