NBA MVP Power Rankings: Top 5 leaders entering Week 7

#4 LeBron James

LeBron is playing almost 35 minutes per contest this season.

With the three-ball falling at a more consistent rate, LeBron James is looking dangerous in his newest avatar as a pass-first point guard. Owing to his wrecking drives to the basket, slick lobs and steadfast defense, the 17-year veteran has been a menace for teams that have tried to figure him out.

The 3-time NBA champion is posting all-round numbers like 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and a league-leading 10.9 dimes per matchup across the 20 games played so far. He is one of the two major reasons why the Los Angeles Lakers have rose to the top of the West standings and stayed there for so long to begin their 2019-20 campaign.

He has really worked on his body and looks in the best shape of his life. Despite the numerous bumps he is taking on a daily basis, the King is yet to show any signs of slowing down.

#3 Luka Doncic

Luka's style of play screams maturity unseen at his age.

Luka Doncic's sophomore year only keeps getting better. He is setting the gold standard for young guys who come in the league and are desperate to make a mark for themselves at an early stage. The Slovenian baller has been driving a wave of uncharacteristic success for the long-forgotten Dallas Mavericks franchise.

They recently ended the Lakers 10-game winning streak and did it in convincing fashion on the road. Much of the credit for the their surge goes to Doncic's basketball IQ and the way he incorporates every single player on the court into the scheme of things. The Mavericks(13-6) are playing better than their roster's collective talent pool should allow, and Luka has been at the production epicenter.

He is averaging a near-triple-double of 30.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game, on 48.3% shooting from the floor, and in the process, is turning the Mavs into a serious threat in the West.
