Is LeBron James Already Out In This Year, MVP Race?

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar and perhaps still the greatest player in the planet LeBron James was once again a top candidate for this year KIA MVP Race and as the 2016 – 2017 NBA Season near its end, the King has been averaging a career best in points, rebounds, assists, 3 point percentage and field goal percentages since in his return back to Cleveland 3 years ago.
