Most Valuable Player. Defining the MVP in the NBA every season always brings up debate. Can a player be the most valuable if the team is bad? Does being the best basketball player in the world over the last 20 years mean you get to be in the conversation every year?
LeBron James won two NBA MVP’s with the Cavaliers before ever winning an NBA championship, so why can’t Giannis Antetokounmpo win a third straight on a Bucks team that can’t win in the playoffs? LeBron didn’t win the award in 2016 when he finally got the Cavaliers their championship. That year it was Steph Curry who won the award.
