Future NBA MVPS

NBA_FutureMVP — In fifty years, we could easily be looking back on this time as the Golden Age of the NBA. LeBron, Durant, Chris Paul, Melo, Dwight Howard, DRose....These are all Hall of Fame level players and they're all playing against each other in the prime of their careers. And there's a whole new generation of incredible players. Get NBA tickets now to see these 8 future MVPs.

Anthony Davis (age: 21)

Anthony Davis (age: 21)

Anthony Davis — The Brow is the odds-on favorite to be the next contender to the NBA MVP throne. After a massive coming-out party this summer at the FIBA World Cup of Basketball, Davis solidified himself as the top young big man in the NBA and the kid just had his 21st birthday in March. There's nowhere to go but up for the Pelicans center and an MVP trophy could be his time and time again before his career is over.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (age: 19)

Giannis Antetokounmpo2 — There is no current player in the NBA with a higher ceiling than “The Greek Freak.” The Milwaukee Bucks scored big taking a chance on a gangly project from Greece, but it's already paying off as Antetokounmpo heads into his second NBA season taller, faster, and stronger than he's ever been. New Bucks coach Jason Kidd likes Antetokounmpo so much that's he's considering playing his 6'11” young gun as a point guard.

Kyrie Irving (age: 22)

Kyrie Irving2 — Irving came as the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft and he's been impressing ever since. Rookie of the Year, All-Star Game MVP, and starting point guard for the USA Men's National Team this summer are just the beginning of his accolades and now that LeBron James is back in Cleveland, “NBA Champion” can't be far off. It's no stretch to think that Kyrie has an MVP honor in his future.

Kawhi Leonard (age: 23)

Kawhi Leonard (age: 23)

Kawhi Leonard2 — If anyone predicted that Kawhi Leonard would be an NBA Finals MVP by the age of 23, they should go out and buy a lottery ticket immediately. Leonard's emergence as a star for the Spurs came seemingly out of nowhere, but now that he's got an NBA Championship ring on his finger, there's no telling where the ceiling is for the 6'7” small forward.

Joel Embiid (age: 20)

Joel Embiid (age: 20)

Joel Embiid — Embiid won't play in an NBA game until 2015, but that doesn't mean the 7-footer from Cameroon doesn't deserve to be on this list. He's a Hakeem Olajuwon-esque talent with outstanding athleticism and incredible defensive instincts who would have been the No. 1 pick if he didn't get injured shortly before the 2014 draft. It may be too early to predict, but an MVP is always in the picture with talent like this.

Andrew Wiggins (age: 19)

Andrew Wiggins (age: 19)

Andrew Wiggins2 — Already on his second NBA team, the wily Canadian rookie is a star in the making. He dominated NBA Summer League and his shooting skills and raw athleticism are off the charts. If he can get motivated in Minneapolis and take the Wolves to the playoffs, it won't be a stretch to call this kid the MVP of the entire state of Minnesota and, perhaps, the entire NBA.

Jabari Parker (age: 19)

Jabari Parker

Jabari Parker (age: 19)

Jabari Parker2 — He's already been named the National High School Player of the Year and a Consensus First Team All-American in college, so it would only make sense that Parker enters the conversation for future NBA MVP as his first season as a Milwaukee Buck gets underway. He can score, he can pass, and he can defend – can he also win the NBA's highest individual honor?

Nerlens Noel (age: 20)

Nerlens Noel2

Nerlens Noel (age: 20)

Nerlens Noel1 — It's easy to think of Noel as a charity case after a freak accident cost him his rookie season before he was even drafted, but when you talk about raw, natural talent in the NBA, Noel is at the top of the list. If his college career is any indication, Noel will immediately become one of the best shot blockers in the NBA and, perhaps, the greatest of all time.
