Curry only guy over 30 in the top 10. New era of basketball is here.

The last league MVP to win it over 30 was Nash in 2005 (and he was just 30/31)

LeBron was the best player in the league for 5 years after his last MVP, but he needed to coast through the regular season to save his best for the playoffs.

I was about to say this. Players over 30 almost never win MVP. You’re right that it’s because they’re pacing themselves for the playoffs. I think it also has to do with narrative, just like CotY. Ascending players/teams Ardmore likely to win the awards than established guys who’ve won before.
