LeBron James - Los Angeles Lakers
It's no surprise who the leading vote getter is out West and in the entire league. LeBron James continues to make his presence felt, now wearing the purple and gold. The NBA superstar led the Lakers to a top four spot early on in the West. He's been sidelined with injury, but should be back in the next several weeks. Currently, King James has 1,083,363 votes.

Luka Doncic - Dallas Mavericks
It's been some time since an NBA rookie has been talked about this much as Doncic is drawing early comparisons to LeBron in terms of his potential star power. He's still young and it's early in his career, but he's been leading Dallas this season. Doncic has 679,839 votes.
