NBC Universal, Inc. Steph Curry joins Kerith Burke on “Dubs Talk” to discuss his expectations for the 2024-25 NBA season and what success looks like for him at age 36.

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.

With the NBA season tipping off on Tuesday, here's a look at the 2024-25 NBA MVP odds.

2024-25 NBA MVP odds

Fresh off his first NBA Finals appearance, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić has the top MVP odds entering 2024-25.

Here are five things to know about the third-overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft, Luka Doncic.

Second is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who powered the Oklahoma City Thunder to the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference last season.

The third and fourth spots belong to Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who have combined to win five of the last six NBA MVP trophies.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is the first U.S.-born player on the list, followed respectively by Jalen Brunson and Jayson Tatum to round out the seven players with the lowest odds to win.
