This is the first time in his NBA career (20 seasons) he didn't get a single vote for MVP, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

LeBron is a four-time MVP, winning the prestigious award most recently in 2013.

The 38-year-old averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 6.8 assists over 58 regular-season games and got the Lakers back into the playoffs, where Los Angeles took a 1-0 lead against the Golden State Warriors in the second round on Tuesday night.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was named the 2022-23 NBA MVP, edging out two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Embiid earned 73 first-place votes, while Jokic and Antetokounmpo received 15 and 12, respectively.
