With his unmatched shooting ability and leadership on the court, many analysts believe that Curry has a strong chance of adding a third MVP trophy to his collection. Keep an eye on Curry as he continues to dazzle fans and opponents alike with his stellar performance on the court.
NBA MVP has become an international award in recent years, and oddsmakers expect that trend to continue this upcoming season.
The last six MVP awards have been handed out to players born outside the U.S., with Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić earning the honor for the third time in his career last season.
This season, a couple of guards out west are the leaders of the pack, while some perennial winners are a bit further behind.
