#4 LeBron James
At 35 years of age, LeBron James is only getting better at the different aspects of the game. His career-high assists average of 11.0 per game is currently the best in the NBA. The King is averaging solid numbers in 25.6 points and 7.4 rebounds, on 49.3% shooting from the field, to go along with his impeccable consistency in dropping dimes.
The return of his 'defensive twitch' is a major reason his team possesses the best defense in the league. LeBron has been taking and making some of the most crunch shots for his squad, showing why he is still the best player on the planet even in his 17th year.
He has played over 35 minutes per contest (top 10 in the NBA) across the 17 games played so far, and is attempting a team-high 19.8 shots per game from the field.
#3 Luka Doncic
Luka Doncic has been at the epicenter of records ever since this year tipped off. Averaging almost a triple-double in the 16 games he has played this year, the Slovenian phenom is tearing defenses apart with utmost brutality almost every game.
He has been attempting almost nine free-throws per game, helping build his career-high scoring average of 30.1 points, which is also the third best in the NBA.
Moreover, Doncic is posting numbers like 10.1 rebounds and 9.8 assists per matchup, while making it all look like a cakewalk at just 20 years of age. Dallas Mavericks are way higher on the East standings (11-5, 4th seed) than they're supposed to be, and it's all because of a Slovenian kid they traded for during the 2018 draft.
