In fact, it’s quite possible that the best player in the video game is James.
James, 35, showed his dominance in a myriad of ways this past season. Although he didn’t win the 2020 MVP award, James ended up winning a title.
The veteran averaged 25.3 points, 10.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game during the 2019-20 regular season. He led the entire league in assists per contest.
Furthermore, James guided the Lakers in the postseason. The four-time MVP collected 27.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game in the playoffs.
However, James couldn’t have done it without his amazing supporting cast. Anthony Davis, who earned his first championship this past season, competed like a top-five player in the NBA during the Lakers’ title run.
