Betting on the NBA Finals goes back decades. Betting on which individual player will win the Finals MVP award is a much more recent phenomenon. It was formally approved as a proposition in Nevada in May 2017.

NBA Finals MVPs since 2017

  • 2017: Kevin Durant (Warriors)

  • 2018: Kevin Durant (Warriors)

  • 2019: Kawhi Leonard (Raptors)

  • 2020: LeBron James (Lakers)

  • 2021: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks)

No dark horses, sleepers, high-leverage role players … nor long-winded arguments from the media about what the word “value” means. MVP betting tickets cashed for a high-impact superstar on the championship team.
