The MVP Favorite
With two NBA MVP awards in the bag, Stephen Curry seems like he’s on his way to winning a third. Right now, he’s the clear favorite without much serious competition, as he’s averaging 28.6 PPG on .46 FG%
Stephen Curry: +150
Kevin Durant: +500
Giannis Antetokounmpo: +700
Nikola Jokic: +1300
If he were to win a third, Curry would join an uber-elite club of all-time greats 🏆
6 MVPs: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
5 MVPs: Bill Russell, Michael Jordan
4 MVPs: Wilt Chamberlain, LeBron James
3 MVPs: Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson
With an MVP, a fourth championship, and possibly even his first Finals MVP, Steph Curry could make a strong charge to be considered one of the 10 greatest players ever by the end of this season
The Point God
This season, Chris Paul has continued to prove age is but a number, remaining the NBA’s top assist man even into his age-36 season
14.5 PPG
4.1 RPG
10.1 APG
He’s already all over several all-time leaderboards, and will continue to climb as long as he’s facilitating winning basketball
3rd all-time in assists
5th in steals
42nd in points
Trivia question: who are the four players ahead of Chris Paul in all-time steals? (answer below)
If the Warriors fall off and the Suns run away with the West, Paul could quietly be in line to win his first MVP after finishing in the top five four times, and receiving votes in 10 different seasons. Right now, his +10000 odds make CP3 an intriguing MVP play as an extreme long-shot
For My Parlay Gurus
Heading into the game of the season, the Suns are favored by -2 points in what Vegas expects to be a close game. Neither team has been particularly challenged through their first quarter of the season — in fact, the Warriors and Suns have had the two easiest schedules of any team this season
With that in mind, I’m riding the Suns at home in a low scoring affair, considering Draymond is a game-time-decision and Iguadala is out 👇
Suns -2: -110
Under 221 total points: -110
A $100 bet would payout $264, enough to cop these fresh Curry 8s. If it hits, first to email [email protected] gets $100 🤑
Trivia answer: Most steals all-time: 1) John Stockton, 3,265 — 2) Jason Kidd, 2,648 — 3) Michael Jordan, 2,514 — 4) Gary Payton, 2,445 — 5) Chris Paul, 2,371
