NBA MVP Power Rankings: Top 5 leaders entering Week 5

#4 LeBron James

Hollywood has been graced with the King's presence

Currently playing in his 17th year in the league, LeBron James is averaging 25 points, 7.6 boards and 11.2 dimes per game (career-best). He is leading the NBA in assists, and shooting 49% from the field while doing so.

The fact that his previous career-high assist average was 9.1 (in 2017-18) tells us the King's court-vision is aging like fine wine.

LeBron has taken over the role of an elite point guard who can facilitate the offense, average 1.2 steals per game on the defensive end, pull out highlight chase-down blocks and drive through for thunderous slams, all in a single set of 48 minutes.

#3 Luka Doncic

An All-Star berth is waiting round the corner.

Luka Doncic is redefining the sophomore jump in a way that's never been seen before. From being the Rookie of the Year last season to averaging a near-triple-double this year, the 20-year-old has cemented his legacy already.

The Slovenian sensation is averaging blazing numbers - 28.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game - while shooting over 47% from the floor on a regular basis.

Attempting 9.1 free-throws per game, Doncic's ability to drive and draw contact is veteran-like. He is confident in his shot-making abilities even in crunch situations.

It seems like the Dallas Mavericks have found their latest franchise cornerstone for a long time to come.
