Nailed it

I think the main gripe with lebron finishing second is because hes been robbed of so many.

No way on earth would anyone argue that harden is a superior basketballer than james. Lebron is better at every facet of the game minus free throws. Statistically lebron had an mvp quality year yet hed nearly have to average 35ppg to be considered seriously.

Everyone is always tryinvg to find the next heir to the thrown and the one who overthrows lebron. First it was durant, then curry, now harden and next year it will be giannis or simmons.

The guy is judged alot harder than any other player in the game

I tend to agree, especially with the final statement.

I reckon sometimes the old "they finally deserve one" plays a minor part in MVO calculations

There are strange awards in the NBA. Coach of the Year is ridiculous because you can't win the award two years in a row. How you can have an award and have someone automatically disqualified is beyond me.

I think you may be wrong here. While it doesn't happen, there's no rule that says you can't win it two years in a row.

Are you thinking NBA All-Star coach?
