The NBA offseason has seen many interesting moves that will shake up the league this year.
But, the stars of the league will remain the stars.
Many elite players consistently are in the running for the league MVP award.
Last season, we saw Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers bring home his first MVP.
But, he was in contention for that award many years before winning it.
Now in the slow part of the offseason, ESPN experts predicted who will win next year’s MVP award.
According to NBA on ESPN, the top three vote-getters for league MVP are Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Luka Doncic.
Will Jokic get his third MVP? Wembanyama, Holmgren or Henderson for Rookie of the Year?

Jokic has already won two MVP awards before finishing second last year.
It would be no surprise to see him in the top three again next year and receiving votes for another MVP trophy.
Another player who has two MVP awards is Antetokounmpo.
Then the one player that has consistently been on the shortlist of MVP candidates is Luka Doncic.
He has yet to finish inside the top three and has failed to reach the expectations many people have set for him.
Last year, the Mavericks failed to make the playoffs and Doncic deserves some blame for that.
All three of these stars are worthy of being in the race for league MVP.
But, do not be surprised if the winner of the award comes from someone not on this list.
If players like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James can stay healthy, they all have a great shot as well.
