History tells us that there's a good chance someone else will be the MVP. But who? Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is the betting favorite at +200, per Caesars, and received two votes, while Napheesa Collier, last season's runner-up got one. Those two are the most likely candidates besides Wilson.

Wilson has a bit of history working against her; Cynthia Cooper is the only player in WNBA history to win back-to-back MVPs, and that happened in the first two seasons of the league (1997, 1998). Wilson's certainly good enough to pull off the feat, but the bar and competition for a repeat is sky-high.

Meghan L. Hall: Napheesa Collier. Welcome to the 2025 season, a.k.a the Napheesa Collier revenge tour. Collier was second in MVP voting last season, and without her at MVP-levels, the Minnesota Lynx don't move. She's going to come back for not just MVP, but she might add DPOY to list, too.
