One quirk of this move is that almost all of the active players in the NBA who have won MVPs now play for the two best teams, the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. For the Warriors, it is Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, while the Cavs now have LeBron James and Rose.

The only other players in the last 11 seasons to win MVP awards are Russell Westbrook this past season, Kobe Bryant, who is now retired, and Dirk Nowitzki, who won his award ten years ago.
