LeBron has been the real MVP for about 10+ years now. The word "valuable" is a bad word in how they pick the winner of the award, regardless of if it's a weekly, monthly, yearly, or finals award. It should be titled MOP because that's a true indication of describing who won the award. I don't have a problem with them giving the award to a Warriors player, because they won. LeBron has put up such incredibly earth shattering numbers on such a piss poor team that the sky is the expectations. Look at Westbrook last year. It was completely overblown that he averaged a triple double. Does the same thing this year and it's barely talked about. It's just the way we as humans tick. Once you get used to seeing something, it becomes the norm. Even when that norm is pretty amazing itself.
James Harden about to win MVP and I'm pretty sure now that everything has played out, there are a lot of honest people who would say he isn't even a top5 NBA player.
Guys I'd take over him(if healthy obv), without even analyzing further.
Curry
Durant
LeBron
Leonard
Davis
