Has it ever happened (insane usage player winning MVP on a 9th-7th seed team)? I find this shocking.
Kawhi is my pick for MVP next season.
Warriors(Curry/Durant/Dray) are super stacked, they'd have to absolutely crush it(75 wins or something stupid) for anybody to win. Westbrook/Harden/Davis teams just won't be good enough. CP3 never finishes high in the MVP voting for whatever reason. Lebron unlikely to go very hard in the regular season. Leaves Kawhi in my opinion, who'll be the clear #1 on the 2nd best team in the west (and maybe the league).

LeBron and favors play D doe
who did bern pick?
MVPs are almost always from a 55+ win team. LeBron, Kawhi, Durant, Steph (in no particular order)
Davis, Harden, Westbrook -- highly unlikely unless teams greatly exceed expectations.

I think Blake is a sleeper for MVP. Last season was a cluster**** for him in many ways and I could see him regrouping this off-season and killing it next. He finished 3rd two years ago I think and I feel like he hasn't had his career year yet. I'd be curious what his odds are. At 7:1 or better, I think I'd do him.
If Clippers get second seed, ditto for CP3. I think the Spurs are going to drop back.

CP3 and his 19 points per game isn't the type of guy to win MVP.

how many people have averaged a near triple double and not been MVP? How many times have 2 of the top 3 players (with two additional top 20 players on their team) been on the same team and one of them won MVP? This year is a pretty unique situation so I don't think team record is a must to be MVP.
Probably not, but I think this is the year for someone new to win MVP. Voters are going to be tired of Curry and deduct points from him and Durant being on the same team.
He put up insane numbers when Durant was out. Still, 42% FG, 30% 3pt, and 4.4 TO. You don't win the MVP when your team barely makes the playoffs putting up massive numbers by being the man. I agree that the situation is kind of unique, but chances are, IMO, next to nill.
