When Will the Next American-Born NBA MVP Arrive?

An NBA analyst argues the next American-born MVP is likely years away, noting the last American MVP was James Harden in 2018 and that recent winners have been foreign-born or not top-10 draftees. With Victor Wembanyama rising, the piece surveys current and future American contenders—Edwards, Ball, Cunningham, Tatum—and newer prospects like Cooper Flagg and Cameron Boozer, plus longer-shot teens, ranking Boozer as the top bet to become the next American MVP, followed by Flagg, Cunningham, Edwards, Holmgren, Ball, and Darryn Peterson. It also mentions the 65-game eligibility rule that could extend Wembanyama’s own MVP chances.
