They’re in the conversation. MVP the previous 3 years was Durant, Curry, Curry, and if they had not teamed up, they would have still been competing for it (along with the scoring title).

LeBron and Wade must also be mentioned.

The league hasn’t moved on from Boogie. They’ve moved on from his post-torn Achilles and post-torn ACL body.

The reigning MVP is just a more efficient, better defending Boogie.
