That's easy to say if you haven't watch or followed that season. Basically every single person that knows even a little bit of basketball to the GOAT himself had him as MVP. He is practically a uninanimous MVP and the main reason they're the best team in the League. I magine how people are so crazy about Luka now, and if he won MVP at 22, that would have been bonkers. So yeah, big numbers don't necessarily get you MVP, it's how you fare against your competition. Players feared and adored him at the same time. And the craziest of all, he called him being the MVP in the beginning of the season and people just brushed it off as a sign of competitiveness and extreme confidence.

Yeah DRose is the biggest what if. He was the youngest MVP. Not even Luka or LeBron became MVP at 22. There's really no contest.
You didn't watch him and you know it. I watched every single game that season and if you don't think that's legendary, you are fooling yourself. He pretty much had the MVP by January. That's like Curry's MVP year, but he is 22 years old. Say whatever you want, downplay his year, it does not matter. It doesn't change the fact nobody in the history of the league had the year that he had at 22.
