Earlier this season, four-time NBA champion LeBron James made history after being named the NBA's all-time leading scorer.

And while he's still one of the game's best at the age of 38, Tuesday's MVP voting may indicate who will become the new face of the NBA.

According to a tweet by ESPN Stats & Info, James did not receive a single vote for MVP this season for the first time in his 20-year NBA career.

"That's going to be the fuel for this series!" one fan said on Twitter, while SiriusXM Sports Host Lance Medow wrote: "We continue to see things we've never seen before."

"This might be the craziest stat I've ever seen," another fan replied.

He didn’t receive one for a reason, not a T10 player and isn’t even the best player on his team," someone else critiqued.

James and the Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the second round of the NBA Playoffs on Thursday at 6 PM local time.
