NBA Power Rankings: LeBron James, Lakers Make Statement in Wins Over Bucks, Clippers

Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely snag his second MVP award in June, but is there any player you’d want in a playoff series over LeBron James?

James remains the game’s ultimate chess piece, dictating every possession with ease. He’s a force in the post and a menace in transition. James is arguably the league’s best passer. His three-point range grows by the month. When the playoffs roll around, it’s best not to bet against the three-time Finals MVP.
