Current Favorites

Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics): After knocking on the door the past few seasons, Jayson Tatum got his first NBA Championship. While that is a significant weight off Tatum and the rest of the Celtics' shoulders, the question now becomes whether or not Tatum can prove his offensive inconsistency during the 2023-24 postseason was a fluke.

Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics): Out of the two Celtics' star players, Brown was the one who continually stepped up on offense throughout the entire postseason, proving no moment was too big for him. Whenever the Celtics needed a big performance on their Finals run, Brown answered the call, and with Boston favored to repeat, Brown could have a chance to repeat as Finals MVP.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC Thunder): The Thunder fell in the conference semi-finals this past season, but the future is bright in OKC. In fact, it's so bright that the Thunder currently sits right behind the Celtics on the odds board for the 2024-25 NBA Champion. At the center of Oklahoma City's young and talented roster is Gilgeous-Alexander, who averaged 30.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game during the 2023-24 postseason.
