LeBron James favorites to win 2016-17 NBA MVP 😂

Four of the last five NBA Most Valuable Player awards have gone to either LeBron James or Stephen Curry, and Las Vegas oddsmakers don't see that trend changing for the 2016-17 regular season.

The King and The Chef are the two heavy favorites to take home the Maurice Podoloff Trophy at the end of next season with 15-4 odds.

Russell Westbrook, who hinted Thursday that he has renegotiated his contract to remain with the Oklahoma City Thunder, ranks third at 4-1, while Kevin Durant, who ditched the Thunder to sign with the Golden State Warriors and play alongside Curry, is right behind at 8-1.
