Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James made NBA MVP voting history this season. No, the 21-time All-Star power forward did not win a fifth MVP award, but he did earn one fourth-place vote and 13 fifth-place votes from the league's pool of 100 global media members.

According to HoopsHype, James is the oldest player in NBA history to get an MVP vote, beating Michael Jordan's 23-year-old record. At 40 years old, James is 13 months older than Jordan was when MJ finished 13th in MVP voting while playing for the Washington Wizards in 2001-02.

While LeBron James ponders an upcoming contract decision on his player option for the 2025-26 season, rehabilitating his MCL injury suffered during the Lakers' season-ending playoff loss to the Timberwolves takes top priority.
