NBA Daily Notes: Paul George - MVP? ; Top fantasy picks for December 23rd

SF 2 - LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers):

You can never ignore the King. He is always a tough competitor, night in and night out, even at the age of 33. Nobody expected him continue performing at this level even in year-15 but nothing seems to stop him.

He joined the Los Angeles Lakers this off season and has lifted them into playoff contention for the first time since 2013. They have a 19-13 record and are 5th in the Western Conference. Most of the credit has got to go to LeBron James.

Los Angeles Lakers are a force to reckon with again

LeBron James has been performing like he is still 24, averaging a massive 28 points per game, with 7 assists and 8 rebounds too. Even though his shooting numbers have taken a hit and his free throw percentage is down, he is still performing like an MVP does.

In the last game against the New Orleans Pelicans, he got another triple double, scoring 22 points, along with 14 assists and 12 rebounds as well. He even grabbed 2 steals against them and will look to continue this form and extend the Lakers win streak against the Memphis Grizzlies tomorrow.

Alternate pick: N/A
