The 39 players who have been nominated the most times for individual NBA awards in history
LeBron James dominates the list, but Giannis Antetokounmpo has the age and level to be able to intimidate him in a few years.
LeBron James has been dominating the NBA since he entered the league in 2003, not only on the court but also in end-of-season individual awards voting. While many already know that LeBron holds the record for the most MVP votes received, with an impressive total of 19 occasions, his supremacy does not stop there.
Expanding the focus to include all categories of end-of-season individual awards, LeBron remains the undisputed leader with a total of 34 nominations. These include votes for MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and Most Improved Player. This record spans a career full of success and consistency, further solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest players of all time, and for many, the best.
However, this record could be at risk, as Giannis Antetokounmpo, with his stellar play and ability to excel both offensively and defensively, has the potential to surpass LeBron if he continues to accumulate votes for MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the coming years.
