I get Bron's narrative, but there's gonna be like 5+ guys with better stats than him. Some of those guys on teams that may end up having a better record than the Lakers.

Bron can have MVP. Harden will take finals MVP
But on a serious note this actually does kinda matter. You can scratch embiid off with this injury

Kawhi’s stats right in line with Bron too.

Old interview (obvi), but in it Wilt somewhat begins to back off the 20,000 women thing thrn kind if doubles down, also claims he benches over 600lbs, drives across the country at 125-180mph average on the highway, often while holding his breathe over 5 to 6 minutes at a time, also waterskis over 130mph often by the interstate and can see the looks on the drivers' faces as he whisks by them, and basketball wise that MJ's style wouldnt work ib his era because its too showboaty and he'd get flagrant fouled and benched a lot by his own coach for hotdogging
They didnt even have time to ask him about the time a mountain lion jumped out and attacked him and he killed it with his bare hands, or never touching a weight before then meeting Arnold and out lifting him the first try, or any of his other infinite tall tales

Shaq took a .500 team to title contenders and a 59 win team.
This award is narrative based

Why is Lebrinkles’ narrative so much better than the other MVP candidates? His age?

Assuming he and the Lakers keep this up, he's going to hit the sweet spot of great stats, great team record, not miss many games, storyline (age 36 season).

He’s 36. Let’s not get desensitized to that.

And he averaged 13 in the finals. That was Wade improving into a top 10 player in the league.

I get it and him sustaining this level of play at that age is remarkable. But he gets praised for it all the time and I’m not sure that should be the deciding factor for the NBA most valuable player award. Just my personal opinion.

Again, all of these guys yall bringing up are do this every year. Harden, Jokic, Lebron Dame etc have similar stats on 45-55 win teams mostly every year. So what’s different this year that they deserve to be MVP?

Because there’s nobody putting up monster numbers on a 60 win team, like Gianny the last couple of years.

Thats why it should be narrative based and given to CP. You take a 34 win team last year to potentially 50 wins and 2nd in the west in a shortened season.
Barring a collapse, what single player has had a bigger impact on their team this year?

I can’t let you keep this disingenuous argument up, man. OKC finished 16 games over .500 last year. OKC is 5 games under .500 now. Don’t do this on this beautiful Saturday.

He’s gonna get praised for it as long as he continues to play.

he has a case, but I think it’s too early to call him MVP. I have my doubts PHX is going to remain top 4 in the West.

Your argument would imply that OKC will play .700 basketball the rest of the schedule like they did last year. You and I both know this won’t happen and I’m willing to bet $150 on it

OKC needs to tank better. Stop winning these games and get a better lotto pick. They have the means to trade up as well.
