So curry deserved it

But he won it because he was popular, not because he was good, so he doesn't deserve it?

No, Im saying he earned the award based on his play,but the popularity factor was the biggest role. If Harden had won it , then I would say the same, but Harden was never pimped out like Curry, so it was never something I thought would come even close to happening. Curry deserves recognition MVP or not, and so does Harden. Im not saying Curry doesnt deserve the award, Im just saying the award is devalued if its given out because of reasons aside from basketball skill no matter who wins it. We know Harden and Curry and Westbrook and Paul and LeBron all deserved great recognition, and its far too hard to objectively compare them, so it came down to other factors. Again not saying AT ALL that Curry didnt deserve the award. Do not attribute that statement to me because I did not say that, you are assuming that.


ETA: Summary

You have 4-5 guys who all played a season worthy of receiving the award, and its disappointing that we only give the award to one person because there were several other deserving candidates.
