The MVP is announced! You should understand: Curry is the hardest to break the record, it has nothing to do with 3-pointers!

On May 22, the divisional semi-finals have started. The regular season MVP of this season was finally announced by fans. As expected by most fans and experts, Alexander, who led the Oklahoma City Thunder to achieve a record of 68 wins and 14 losses in the league in the regular season, defeated Jokic, the active first player who averaged triple-double data as he wished, and won the first MVP trophy in his career in his regular season. This season, Alexander played 76 regular season games for the Thunder, averaging 34.1 minutes per game, handing over 32.7 points, 5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 block, including 11th scoring league, 75th rebounds, 14th assists, 5th steals and 26th blocks in the league. Individual three-in-one shooting percentage: 51.9% shooting percentage, 37.5% shooting percentage, and 89.8% shooting percentage. Coming to the advanced data, Alexander's offensive efficiency is 122.4 in the league, 4th in the league, 105.7 in the league, 7th in the league, 16.7 in the league, and 2nd in the league this season! Whether it is basic data or advanced data, Alexander is worthy of MVP!

The only one who can really pose a threat to Alexander's MVP this season is Jokic. In the regular season, Jokic averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks, with a three-in-one shooting percentage of 57.6/41.7/80%! There is no need to look at high-level data. They are all top-notch in the league. Just from the perspective of game influence, Jokic is the number one player in the league today! Interestingly, the two sides had a direct conversation in the semi-finals of the playoffs. In the end, the Thunder team led by Alexander struggled to defeat Jokic and his Nuggets after a tiebreak battle. Many people even said that the regular season MVP was delayed and depends on the results of this round of series. As expected, as the series came to an end, the MVP was also announced! Even in the playoffs, Alexander played at the top level, averaging 29.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, which is still the level of the top stars in the league! Interestingly, the NBA official also announced the detailed MVP vote collection situation. Let’s take a look:

1. Alexander: 71 first votes, 29 second votes, with a total score of 913 points;

2. Jokic: 29 first votes, 71 second votes, with a total score of 787 points;

3. Antetokounmpo: 88 third votes, 9 fourth votes, 3 fifth votes, with a total score of 470 points;

4. Tatum: 11 third votes, 84 fourth votes, 4 fifth votes, with a total score of 311 points;

5. Mitchell: 1 third ballot, 3 fourth ballots, 60 fifth ballots, a total score of 74 points;

6. James: 1 fourth ballot, 13 fifth ballots, a total score of 16 points;

7. Cunningham: 1 fourth ballot, 9 fifth ballots, a total score of 12 points;

8. Edwards: 2 fourth ballots, 6 fifth ballots, a total score of 12 points;

9. Curry: 2 fifth ballots, a total score of 2 points;

10. Brunson, Harden, Mobley: 1 fifth ballot, a total score of 1 point.

Judging from the final voting score, the results of this MVP voting are reasonable, and the three veterans James, Curry and Harden have also received a certain degree of recognition! But we can also find a problem. In the MVP voting, the score distribution is still relatively scattered. As long as the personal data and record are good, there are opportunities to get votes and scores! In the NBA regular season, the record gap between top teams will not be much different in the end, which leads to the MVP voting being dispersed. However, there has been the only regular season unanimous MVP in NBA history. This record was created by Warriors star Stephen Curry and the 2015-16 season. Curry averaged 30.1 points (first in the league) 5.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game, leading the team to 73 wins and 9 losses in a single season, breaking the Bulls' best record in regular season history (72 wins and 10 losses)! In addition, Curry scored 402 three-pointers in a single season, setting a record of individual three-point shooting in a single season!

Curry received all 131 first votes in the 2015-16 season, becoming the first (and only) player to be elected MVP in regular season history! When it comes to Curry, we will all think of the countless three-point records he created, but from the current league game style, Curry's three-point record is not that he has no chance to be broken, but that the unvoted MVP in the 2015-16 season will become one of the most difficult records to be broken in Curry and even the NBA! Today, the league's stars are crowded with each other, which makes the league's strength and weakness obvious, but this will also make it difficult for single-core teams to achieve good results. Even if they play good data without record support, it will be difficult to obtain MVP. The teams with crowded with stars are guaranteed, but their personal data will be scattered. This is a conflict that cannot be resolved no matter what. Unless the league changes the rules, it is almost impossible to have a unanimous MVP again in this era of group groups. What do you think?
