But still, Curry deserved it. You could've made a case for both he and Harden.
He would have won it regardless. Hard to argue against 67 wins.

You think he wins it if KD and Bron play with no injuries?
Nahh dude... Cavs and OKC would be around 60 wins, one of them gets it, easy, considering the, not signficant, but also not that small, gap, as players.

Lebron wasn't injured, he took a vacation.
Regardless, no one is calling Curry best player on the planet, we all know Durant is (when healthy).

Yes.
Also, Lebron didn't get injured.

Davis did more with less than Harden. He should be MVP then, right?

That's debatable because a healthy Durant and healthy OKC team wins 60+ games this year with Durant putting up better numbers than Curry. I mean Durant still averaged 25-7-4-1-1 on 51/40/85 in just 33 MPG in the 27 games he played this year. Never mind that he played noticeably hobbled in about half of those 27 games. A healthy Durant is playing 80ish games, putting up something like his usual 28-7-5 on roughly 50/40/90 shooting, and OKC likely wins 60+ games. I know it's all speculation, but given how devastated by injuries they were all season, and how many close games they lost, it's not crazy to assume OKC wins at least 60 games if Durant is healthy and Westbrook and Ibaka don't miss 15+ games each.
LeBron not being healthy (or if it really was him taking a two week vacation) isn't all that kept him from winning MVP. Cleveland having pretty big chemistry issues and not having J.R. Smith, Mozgov, and Shumpert the first half of the season played as big of a factor.
With that said, given the vacuum of this season, and based on what they did this season, Curry is a very deserving MVP winner. It's just a bit "weird" since it came in the heart of Durant and LeBron's prime/peak, but each player had extenuating circumstances that kept them from seriously being in the MVP discussion. Curry put up very good numbers on a 67 win team, but his numbers were actually pretty weak for an MVP winner.
