Leonard has yet to win this honor in his career. He finished third in the race last season after averaging 25.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Leonard has become the focal point of the Spurs on offense and that isn’t likely to change this season.

LeBron James is a four-time MVP winner during his career, but the last award came in the 2012-13 season with the Miami Heat. James is coming off a 2016-17 season where he averaged 26.4 points, 8.7 assists and 8.6 rebounds per game. He played in 74 games, but seems to be focusing more on resting his body during the regular season to get prepped for the playoffs.

Durant won the NBA MVP honor in the 2013-14 season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Durant averaged 25.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game last season, his first with the Warriors. He missed 20 games last year due to injury

Westbrook is coming off an MVP season in the 2016-17 campaign. It was his first MVP honor. He averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game last year and set a new record for triple-doubles in a season. With the addition of Paul George to the roster, will it take some of his stats down?

While injuries and a number of unforeseen circumstances will ultimately shape this race throughout the season, it is fun to project at this point to see who will win what seems to be the most prestigious individual award in sports.

In my opinion, Durant seems to be the safest bet, with Leonard as a close second. If I were a betting man (which full disclosure I am), there are three people I would throw a few shekels on: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Chris Paul and John Wall.

The Greek Freak put up MVP caliber stats last season for an eastern conference playoff team and if he takes another leap this season, say 26-8-8 and the Bucks can win 50 games it would be easy to make a compelling case for him.

John Wall quietly puts up MVP caliber stats as well, he averaged 23.1 points and 10.7 assists last season, and if no one has a ridiculous season like Westbrook or Harden did last year and he replicates that or improves upon it with a team that gets the No. 1 seed in the east let’s say, that could be enough for an MVP.

Chris Paul is such a domineering force and leader. If Harden learns to play around Paul and make life even easier for himself and if Paul has a highly efficient 20 and 11 season for a 55 to 60 win team in Houston, voters could absolutely think he deserves to be rewarded for his season and his hall of fame caliber career.
