The Golden State Warriors have the last three NBA MVPs on their roster. Kevin Durant, as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, won the award in 2014 and Stephen Curry followed it up by winning the next two in a row. But neither player is the favorite to bring home the Maurice Podoloff trophy next season.
Durant’s former running mate, Russell Westbrook is expected to win his first MVP award. This is clearly a reaction to Durant’s departure. The explosive point guard has been given the keys to the car and he can do whatever he wants in OKC.
