As mentioned earlier, James could have gotten the award each of the last 10 years. The only year he definitely wasn't in contention was when Stephen Curry earned the league's first-ever unanimous MVP award in 2016. Unfortunately, voter fatigue has allowed other superstars in the league to get their due.

It's been four seasons since James was last named MVP. Every year since then, the pundits have predicted his downfall but The King has consistently proved them wrong. In the current scheme of things, there isn't a player or the narrative of any player that can beat what James is doing on the court.
