On May 28, Beijing time, the 2024-25 season has not yet come to an end, and the MVP odds for the 2025-26 regular season have been released. Jokic and Alexander are tied for first place, Doncic is third and international stars occupy the top five spots, while Jandouku is retiring from the historical stage, with all three not in the top 10 and tied for 11th. The details are as follows-
1. Jokic and Alexander (both +325), 3. Doncic (+550), 4. Antetokounmpo and Wembanyama (both +850), 6. Haliburton (+950), 7. Edwards (+1200), 8. Brunson (+1500), 9. Embiid (+2500), 10. Cunningham (+4000), 11. Morant, Durant, James, Curry (also +5000).
This season's regular season MVP belongs to Alexander, but he doesn't have a significant lead over Jokic by a wide margin, and there are still many people who think Jokic should be the MVP. Alexander led the team to a seven-tie tiebreaker to eliminate Jokic in the playoffs, which can be regarded as a counterattack against some doubts. In the new season, the MVP competition between the two is expected to continue, and they are currently in a joint leading position.
Doncic is a close second in third place. Doncic has played less than 65 games this season due to injury and has missed out on individual awards. At present, Doncic has returned to Slovenia and will soon start offseason training, and the latest photos and videos show that Doncic has lost weight significantly, and many people expect him to play MVP-level season with the Lakers.
Tied for fourth place are Brother Alphabet and Wembanyama. Antetokounmpo was the third-highest ranking star in this year's regular season MVP vote, though his future remains uncertain after it was reported that he was open to leaving Milwaukee. Wembanyama is out for the season due to a blood clot problem, but is currently recovering well and will not affect his new season. Both are expected to excel in the new season.
The MVPs of the past seven seasons have all been born outside of the United States, and it now looks like this trend is likely to continue, with the current top five players in MVP odds for next season also being internationals.
It can also be seen from the MVP odds for next season that the stars of Janduku's generation are retiring from the stage of history, and none of the MVP odds of the three are in the top 10 and are tied for 11th. In the regular season this season, James averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and Curry averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6 assists per game. While the stats of the three superstars are still excellent, the team is not as competitive as it once was. The Lakers stopped in the first round, the Warriors stopped in the second round, and the Suns failed to make the playoffs.
