00:00If we're taking a look here at Team USA and also, quite frankly, the entire tournament itself, MVP odds are up, and of course, you're going to be having the favorites on Team USA because of the favorites to win the gold medal.
00:13If we're looking at that price point market here at the Fanblue Sportsbook, LeBron James, a minus 104 price to take down the MVP, Kevin Durant, and also Steph Curry.
00:21Before we even see a non-American, Shea Gilgis-Alexander, RJ Barrett, Nicole Jokic here.
00:26If we're looking at Team USA, because that's the focal point, is it so easy right now, Brian, to say, as long as things are playing out the way they are, it's going to be LeBron James winning the MVP for the Olympics?
00:37Yeah, and Kevin Durant would probably be the viable other option because there are going to be games like against the Serbia game.
00:45Maybe he won't be a million for a million or whatever he was from the field, but there will probably be games where he is leading the team in scoring, getting the crunch time buckets and things of that nature if the games get tight.
00:57We probably will see a couple more tight games because it starts to get more competitive once you get in the knockout stage and particularly past that once you get to the semifinals.
01:05Especially if they run into Germany, for example, who won the World Cup last year and seems to always play Team USA tough over the last couple of years.
01:12So I think this spot you look at for Team USA, I'm surprised Steph Curry is still there, although it's plus 1400.
01:19We just haven't quite seen it yet. We'll see.
01:21But LeBron or Durant, and Durant at plus 360, I think actually has some value, but I think it's going to be one of those two guys.
01:28And if you're looking elsewhere, like Dennis Schroeder, Franz Wagner is probably where you would look because Germany, or Shea Gildas-Alexander, because Germany and Canada look like they're the teams that are most competitive right now outside of Team USA.
01:42We'll see.
