I'd say that Davis is the 3rd most likely to win MVP


That's crazy talk. Here's the list of previous winners. LINK You essentially have to be the best player on a top 4 team in the league. If your team isn't a 1 or 2 seed you aren't winning the MVP. I'd say there's a 5% chance that happens. EVERYTHING would have to go right for the team this season, including enough injuries for one of San Antonio or OKC to drop out of the top 2.

I would put odds of 49% Lebron, 49% Durant, 2% Other.

I disagree - Steve Nash's wins would be a viable comparison to AD and now that both LeBron and Durant have won the MVP the natural inclination would be to find the next unique winner.

Obviously the MVP needs to make the playoffs, start in the All Star Game, and have a top 3 PER. Those are the only "musts" that I can think of and AD has a legit shot to achieve each.

If the Pelicans make the playoffs and Davis has the best PER (not that unlikely) I'd say he's got incredible odds to win the award.
