Having hit the one-month mark of the 2019-20 NBA season, we haven’t necessarily moved beyond small sample sizes entirely, but we are certainly approaching the point where a clearer picture of the league’s shape for the year begins to emerge.
With that, one of the many areas that’s set to start gaining added attention is the battle for this year’s Most Valuable Player award.
Through the early running, there’s every reason to believe that this year’s MVP race could be one for the ages.
With a mix of different playing styles and personalities already standing out, and with multiple players already demonstrating the ability to put up incredible individual numbers while helping their teams to wins, it stands to be even more fun than usual to track the awards contenders this year.
