#1 LeBron James
The Los Angeles Lakers made the biggest move of the summer by acquiring the services of LeBron James and the King has not disappointed so far.
The Lakers are three games above .500 for the first time in five years and are looking increasingly likely to mount a challenge in the Western Conference.
James is averaging 28.9 PPG, 8.1 REB and 6.9 assists per game for the season on 52% shooting from the field.
He has again become the lead contender for the MVP this season. Recently, James became the fifth-leading scorer in NBA history going past another Lakers legend, Wilt Chamberlain. He also dropped 51 on his ex-team, the Miami Heat.
The improvement of the Lakers can entirely be linked to LeBron James. He is capable of making the team and the entire city believes. The Lakers will go as far as King James can take them this season.
