This guy is a future superstar in the NBA... I cannot believe he is +5000 to win finals MVP... Bet Leonard and Duncan (+250), and you will make a little money or a lot. Parker wont win MVP and Spurs will def win the series

[jjgold]

He already is a very good player

Good bet

[Pauulzcappin]

I think there is no way they don't give it to timmy

[Seto]

Wow that does seem worth a bet woulda thought it would be around +1500

[phillybadboy]

how many stacks high society?

[Ballin24]

cant find it anyone have a link to the bet?

[STAX]

You can put $100 on Duncan (+250), LeBron (+130), and Leonard (+5000), Lose $70 if LeBron wins it, win $50 if Duncan does, and win $4800 if Leonard does. Seems like a lock Duncan or LeBron will win it, and you got a really good shot at a big payout if leonard does. I just cant see Parker winning it being hurt and all, and no one else seems to have a shot IMO... maybe Wade (+800) but I think Leonard has as good of a shot as Wade

[Ralphie Halves]

Leonard already the 2nd best player on the team IMO. Good value if true.

[THam12]

No.
Heat win it goes to LBJ, spurs win it goes to Tim or Parker.

Cmon now. If spurs win it is not gonna be because Leonard carried them. The old boys are the only way San wins.

[mcdonae101]

It should go to joey Crawford. What's the line on that

[Seaweed]

Sneaky players never win

[CWD]

he can win, but he'll have to avg like 30+ a game to even sniff it

[Bostongambler]

Good find. gl

This is sharp right here. Think I'm gonna tail this.

Okay, I'll admit it. I laughed.

[CWD]

unless youre taking the favorites here its kind of like taking a wide receiver to win the heisman

[Eejit]

Always the star player, Leonard would have to average 25+ pts 10+ reb and have an amazing series clinching game for them to give it to him over Duncan/Parker

I think this is the Finals where Ginobili redeems himself for last year and takes home the Finals MVP so all the big 3 have atleast one. Leonard was quietly the MVP last year though Green might of won it had we won game 6.

[seaborneq]

Danny green would have been MVP if the series had ended after 5 games. He had nearly 30 three pointers in the first 5 games.

[jtoler]

Nice odds for a reason, if Spurs win it all then I cant see them doing it unless TP is doing the most for them, not to mention Bron will be guarding him, nice value no doubt but KL wont win it, but Ive been wrong before.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Not a bad shot at 50/1...If he holds Lebron in check for a few wins on defense I could see him gaining momentum as the key to the Spurs but he would have to add a decent amount of offense as well......The fact that the Spurs spread it around so much helps

Might throw a little on it myself, good find

[paco]

Manu will be the X factor for spurs as usual

Duncan won MVP, that was the vote. The tape was being set up and they were wheeling the trophy. It was well known that all the sports writers were given the email/text message to vote. Duncan would of took MVP. I read this somewhere, I think it was even ESPN.

[FranchisePlayer]

I realize Leonard would not of actually won MVP. I am just saying he actually was their most important player. His defense, rebounding, and scoring really gave the Spurs the huge shot they had at winning.

[CWD]

its actually a great number most spots around 20-1, i just think it doesnt have a shot

[sballen]

Sorry but i don't think there's a chance at this cashing. Alright, maybe a .5-1% chance of it cashing, but at 50-1 odds he would need a 1.96% chance of it cashing, thus it's -EV. While Leonard, in actuality, is a very important player and could very well be the true mvp on the spurs team for the series IF they win, there's no way they don't give it to Duncan, ginobili, or parker imo. Parker being the least likely of the three (due to injury uncertainty). As other posters have stated, he would need to average 25+ pts and probs close to 10+ rebounds for him to even be considered, and I don't see that happening with the way the Spurs spread the ball around.

these huge payout bets, while enticing, typically have -EV because many gamblers love to play them for the large payout. Just my two cents, not impossible he wins it, but pretty damn near close.

[Git Lo]

This is a good play because Leonard will play the most minutes of any spur unless he is in foul trouble and that likely wont happen. All the other star spur plays minutes will be managed and Parker isn't 100 either. Heat should win so it really negates it

[STAX]

Duncan down to +200 and Leonard down to +2500

[FranchisePlayer]

What is Ginobili at?

[oldscho0led]

What's the price for Green?

[Gonz312]

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.

[RMStanley]

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.

[Seto]

Where is this +5000? Best I'm finding is +2800.

+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).

[TheCentaur]

Yeah Leonard can completely go off some games

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
