CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Las Vegas sports book is betting on enough media members who cover the NBA to pick LeBron James over Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Anthony Davis as the league's Most Valuable Player this season.
And not even in that order.
The sports book Bovada set odds for James to be the NBA MVP at 11/4, besting the New Orleans Pelicans' Davis (4/1), Oklahoma City's Durant (11/2), and Curry (6/1), the league's reigning MVP whose Golden State Warriors topped James' Cavs in the Finals.
James, 30, finished third in MVP voting last season -- his first with Cleveland since 2010 -- despite missing 13 games (the Cavs went 2-11).
