The NBA MVP award recognizes the player with the best performance for that single season. This special award is the most highly anticipated award of the NBA season. Ahead of every new NBA season, everyone gives their early predictions and thoughts for the next reigning MVP. So, I’ll be giving my way-too-early prediction for the 2020–2021 MVP.

First, I want to quickly talk about this past season’s MVP. Giannis Antetokounmpo, also known as the “Greek Freek” is the latest player to win the award. Giannis averaged 29 PPG, 5 APG, and a whopping 13 rebounds per game. The 26 year old Buck, led Milwaukee to a record of 56 wins with 17 losses, which was the best record in the league. The young star won the award for two consecutive seasons, with also winning the award in the 2018–2019 season. Giannis became the 12th player in league history to secure the award in consecutive seasons. The last player to win the award consecutively was Warrior’s star Stephen Curry in 2016.

My 2020–2021 MVP prediction will probably surprise many people. But, at the same time some NBA fans will completely agree with me. Because, the player I believe winning the 2020–2021 MVP award is already familiar with the MVP award. Some people know him as the “Baby Face Assassin”, others know him as “Chef Curry”. I believe Stephen Curry will be the 2020–2021 reigning MVP.

Curry is coming off a hand injury and missed 538 days worth of NBA action. The 32 year old point guard is a two time mvp. Some label him as the greatest shooter of all time. But, why do I think he’ll snatch the award this year? The Warriors haven’t had much success since Kevin Durant left the team in mid 2019. It also doesn’t help that their two way star, Klay Thompson suffered a sever achilles tear right before the start of the 2020–2021 season. So, as you can see the Warriors are incredibly short handed on stars. But, I think Curry will be able to lift up the warriors this upcoming season. Curry will be forced take more of dominant role this season. I believe with his offensive talent and incredible 3 point ability he’ll average impressive numbers and perform incredibly this year. I expect it’ll take time for Curry to get adjusted to his new role. But, after a while I think Curry will start to flourish in this role.

Additionally, I want to talk about some other players who I think could win the profound award. I think Trailblazer star, Damian Lillard has a high chance of winning the MVP award. He had a career high 30 ppg last season, which was a career high season. I think he’ll continue lighting up the league with his savvy offense. Another player, I think could win the award is Maverick’s star, Luka Doncic. Luka is a tremendous young star who continually improves every time we see him. The upcoming season will be his third year in the league, and the young star owns all the skills to have a dominant third season.

In conclusion, I predict Stephen Curry will win the 2020–2021 MVP award. I believe he’ll win because of Curry’s current situation on the Warriors. Curry will have to step up tremendously and lead the warriors throughout the whole season. But, I have to admit I am not an expert NBA analyst. I am a just a NBA fan giving their thoughts on the upcoming NBA season. Of course anything can happen throughout an NBA season, only time will tell.
