Yeah, Timmy was about to take it of they won game 6. He was dominating that game so that was the biggest reason why he was being voted it. Much like in 05 when Manu had a huge series, but Timmy had a big 4th qtr in game 7 amd took home MVP. The voters always have the most recent game in mind when voting.

It's a decent bet but I have a hard time believing that Duncan or Parker wouldn't win the award if/when Los Spurritos prevail. MVP voting is one of the squarest things left in sports - absolutely no analytics go into the decision.

If you think the Spurs are going to win the series (which you obviously do - betting on Leonard to win MVP) I'd just roll with them at -120 and increase your bet size.

Gambling-wise, I don't think it gets much better than an 80% return on a bet that probably hits 7 times out of 10. I feel really good about Spurs taking this.

+1. And there'd be even more incentive to reward Duncan or Parker given last season, their tenure, etc. Almost like a "lifetime achievement" award for either one of them. Leonard would have to be so head and shoulders above both of them that it's almost more likely LeBron would win it in a losing effort than Leonard take it as a winner (it last happened in 1969).

I wouldn't be surprised if he got it if he scored 30-40 points a couple games including the final game which he is capable of doing
