Giannis Antetokounmpo is having an MVP type year, but right now he is not on a playoff team. Do you punish an MVP caliber player because the team around him doesn't do enough to make the playoffs?

I may be in the minority on this---but I think awards should be given

I think the reason they don't do it that is because it is a regular season award

right, I get that. Like I said---I just think MVP shouldn't be a regular

Lebron is arguably the best player in the history of the NBA.

Only Durant. Westbrook has only won 5 more games and the team around him

His supporting cast might be a little better but playing in the West is more

Have to mention Curry, you know the guy that led his team to 73 wins.

Yeah I think he'd do it too. Don't be so insecure!

Ha, not insecurity. Just an obvious omission.

Isn't this the reason they have a finals MVP

Finals mvp only takes into account the finals.

Just seems to create more incomparable variables than the regular season award.
