Steve Kerr picks Oakland native Damian Lillard to win MVP award

The oddsmakers at Bovada, for example, tabbed Curry (4-1) and Durant (12-1) as the likeliest players to win MVP not named Russell Westbrook (2-1) or James (5-1). Twice last season, after Lillard erupted in wins over the Warriors, he compared the former Rookie of the Year to Curry.
