ELEVATING to HIGHER LEVELS with POSITIVE VIBES ✨
I was thinking about the new 65-game requirement and realized that in a way this is a sneaky way for the league to control who wins the award.
I'm one of the few people who hope this season we get a new first-time MVP winner because lately, I've noticed for the past 3-4 seasons now it's been the same top 3 players getting MVP acknowledgment to the point where it feels like their name is just there by default.
For much of the past few seasons, it's either been Giannis, Jokic, or Embiid in whichever order being the finalists which I feel is hurting the MVP award imo. Not that these guys don't deserve to be there considering the seasons they put up but, I feel like whoever is in charge of choosing the MVP finalists is biased, it became more rampant when Silver took over.
You can't tell me guys like Booker, Mitchell, SGA, Tatum, Brunson, Luka, Ant, etc and a few others aren't MVP-tier/worthy players with the numbers and success they are having this season. Sure they don't scream MVP when you look at them but they arguably have great seasons.
When guys like Harden, Westbrook, D-Rose, KD, etc won the award it felt like a breath of fresh air because it broke the monotony. Apparently, the award is decided by basketball broadcasters, analysts, and sportswriters from across the country but, maybe they need to have the award voted on by fans and team executives or something.
