I’m so fascinated to see how the Sixers’ hierarchy shakes out.
Like I could see Brown being the alpha of the group. But I could also see him being the second or third option pretty easily.
JUST IN: A Kalshi user has a $936 position on Jaylen Brown to win MVP in the 2026–27 NBA season.
Potential payout of $46,790.

I do think Luka Doncic has a tremendous amount of pressure to start stacking elite accolades.
Generational talent, probably ends up being one of the best to ever do it if he can just get the hardware.
@KendrickPerkins's Big List: NBA Players under the most pressure 👀
5️⃣ Anthony Davis
4️⃣ Bam Adebayo
3️⃣ Jayson Tatum
2️⃣ Luka Doncic
1️⃣ Anthony Edwards

If both sides of the ball matter (they do) it’s hard not to slot Wemby into the #1 spot at this point.

1. Nikola Jokic
2. Victor Wembanyama
3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
4. Luka Doncic
5. Giannis Antetokounmpo
6. Jalen Brunson
7. Anthony Edwards
8. Cade Cunningham
9. Jayson Tatum
10. Donovan Mitchell
Jokic has the 4th best odds on Kalshi to win MVP

I’m not ready to commit to the Wolves being in this tier until I see LaMelo Ball playing winning basketball and buying into shot quality.

I’m actually quite surprised the Lakers are only at 3%.
I have them fifth in my West rankings, but them winning it all isn’t *that* crazy of an outcome.
