The NBA’S Most Valuable Player title is traditionally awarded to the league’s best performing player throughout the season.
While fans have been fortunate to witness incredible performances this NBA season – Stephen Curry becoming the first ever player to record back to back seasons with more than 300 3-pointers, “Greek freak” Giannis Antetokounmpo bringing excitement – and, more importantly, wins – back to Milwaukee, “silent assassin” Kawhi Leonard giving his all and then some to the Spurs or “the little man with the most heart,” Isaiah Thomas, leading the Celtics to the top of the Eastern Conference – these accolades are on the outside looking in to this year’s MVP debate.
