Anthony Davis MVPs by 30 - O/U 1.5?
Posted on 4/21/15 at 11:08 am

Davis is 22 years old. To put that in perspective, he is less than a month older than Frank Kaminsky, your Naismith POY, and just put up more points, rebounds, blocks, and steals in the NBA per 36 minutes than Kaminsky did in college this year per 40 minutes. Davis just finished a regular season with the 11th highest player efficiency rating all time, and the highest by anyone not named Michael Jordan, LeBron James, or Wilt Chamberlain.
Davis will turn 30 in the 2022-2023 season, so excluding that season, he's got 7 seasons left before turning 30. If the over/under on league MVPs for Davis was set at 1.5 during that stretch, what side would you take?
Alternatively, would you say it is more likely that Davis wins multiple MVPs or no MVPs in the next 7 seasons?

Too bad it'll be after a sign and trade on another team.

Under. If he would win 2 regular season MVP's, he'd be considered of the best big men ever. I think he's good but not that good.

The MVP is a weird award. Kobe and Shaq combined for two. It's very possible that Davis could finish as an all-time great without winning two MVPs.

Over.
He'll be the MVP next season.

I'm gonna say he gets 2, so over.

Over.

Tough to decide, i'll say under, but could go either way.

I say he gets 2. Most players hit their prime in that 27-28 range, and he's still developing. The hype around him already is insane, and that's only getting bigger. The Pels will be in the national spotlight quite a bit next season, which means more people will see how good he is on regular basis. Only thing stopping him from getting MVPs is his health, he gets really random injuries on freak accidents.

If healthy, I think he wins 2-4.

I'd bet on over, but I also think the MVP in today's league means something different than say 20 years ago, because Curry is not an elite defender, yet he's still considered the MVP.

I wish he would win it this year.

I would want to say more, but we have all-time great get less than two before, such as Shaq or Kobe. The two of them (plus Duncan who won two) were more or less the best players in the game for a decade.
I would think Davis becomes the best player in the league in the not too distant future. I would expect he would win two MVP's, but there is no way to tell. He is already a top seven player at absolute worst (LBJ, Durant, Westbrook, Curry, Harden, CP3).
If I was in the Pelicans front office, my entire life would be consumed getting Davis to sign a lifetime contract. I would start a team with him over any other player in the NBA, and it is not even close.

Steve Nash won two so I say he could also win 2, over!
Posted on 4/21/15 at 12:53 pm to slackster
It's gonna be tough. Curry, Durant, Westbrook, LBJ aren't going anywhere

There are so many talented players in the league right now, but I really do think he gets the over, especially if he stays with NO.
Posted on 4/21/15 at 1:59 pm to slackster
I'd take the over

WTF does any of this have to do with anything?

LeBron will be standing in Davis' way for another couple seasons. Steph Curry is entering his prime, James Harden is quickly turning into the scorer Carmelo once was, and Durant will [likely] be coming back healthy and still one of the best players in the league.
I will go under. Not because Davis isn't talented enough to win multiple, but the degree of difficulty it takes to win multiple MVPs in a span of seven seasons is incredibly difficult to accomplish.
There are currently twelve players in NBA history with multiple MVP awards. They all won multiple MVPs in the same timespan you're allotting to Davis. What made them special is the fact that there was not much debate as to whether or not they were the best player(s) in the NBA. It's difficult to know whether or not Davis will be part of that category, though he certainly has the ability to be.

Insanely tough award to predict. I will say he gets one in his twenties and one around 30/31
