The Los Angeles Lakers fan vote reveals the team's MVP, future stars, and the most contentious personalities in the NBA awards season. Luka Dončić was voted the Most Valuable Player with a 92.0 percent share of the vote, largely due to his dominance in virtually every statistical category. Other notable winners included Marcus Smart, who was the only legitimate defender in the Lakers' rotation, and Rui Hachimura, who quietly became one of the most accurate three-point shooters in the league over the past two years. However, LeBron James and Austin Reaves were voted the most athletic 41-year-old in NBA history, with James winning this category. Reaves is expected to decline his $14.9 million player option for 2026-27 to enter free agency, where he will command more than three times that much on an annual basis. Luke Kennard's $11 million expiring deal was cited as the reason for his low salary. The Lakers were also short on athleticism, with Jaxson Hayes' lack of coordination and body control being noted.
