James has rarely fallen out of the top three in the MVP list. The Cavaliers have indeed been in trouble recently. The consecutive small losing streak, coupled with James's multiple games of crotch strain, have greatly affected his MVP campaign.
Even so, in last night's game against the Bulls, James scored a massive triple-double of 43 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, winning back this face for himself and preventing himself from being surpassed by Paul.
Although in the original world, James led the Cavaliers to the Finals and ultimately lost to the Thunder, James' regular season this season is not as dominant as before, and he focuses more on preparing for the playoffs.
As long as there are no problems and it reaches the level where Lu Yao came to the Eastern Conference through a trade, the Cavaliers are basically scheduled to win the Eastern Conference championship this season.
The Cavaliers, who have the Big Three, still maintain dominance in the Eastern Conference despite being beaten to the ground by the Thunder.

This season, Westbrook played the best regular season of his career, averaging a near-triple-double of 27+8+9 per game. After Durant retired due to injury, he gained more ball rights.
With Lu Yao's support, Westbrook's defensive pressure has been greatly alleviated, and his statistics and shooting percentage have also skyrocketed. From the second to the third period of the MVP list, Westbrook averaged 30+9+ per game. The terrifying data of 10 greatly increased his score in the selection.
What's more, after Westbrook changed his previous unstable performance, his play began to become more stable, and his assist-to-loss ratio began to rise. Such changes are enough to increase his ranking.
Westbrook has been promoted three times in a row and is the most improved player besides Paul.
