Could KD have won MVP any year since 2021 if he was healthy enough? (alien.top)

If KD was healthy enough to play atleast 65 games anytime the last 3 seasons could he have won mvp? His shooting splits each of those years was insane and let’s say his end of the year stats were identical to his stats he averaged playing 35-40 games, those would have been some of the most efficient scoring seasons ever. Last year he averaged 29/7/5 on .56/.404/.919 shooting splits which is insane. I think he had a strong case of winning mvp last year if he didn’t get injured

No. Jokic has been on a tear and voters love narratives so they’re always going to award the guy with less help.

KD had the narrative going for him in the past two years as well before the injury he had in January each year

Kyrie was missing every game for over half the year 2 years ago because of covid while Harden was playing bad and then got traded to the Sixers. Last year Kyrie also missed a bunch of games with the suspension from the Nets, and Simmons who was the main piece they got in the Harden trade was also hurt missing tons of games and even when he did play he was useless. Despite that both years they had a great record by January and were a top-3 seed before KD got hurt and they dropped a bunch of seeding
