He is the best two-way player, but that award is many about offense. Hence DPOY.
This. If not unanimous- close.

The Kawhi hardcore may have to be satisfied with DPOY (which isn't yet a lock)....
But the vote is not "The BEST Player"..it is the "Most VALUABLE Player", and anyone and virtually everyone has to acknowledge that GSW could likely not win any series against any playoff team if Curry were not on the team.
Kawhi is a superstar on a team with several (one-time) superstars. No one can (or should) deny that Aldridge, Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, while not as dominant as Kawhi anymore, are still forces in their own rights. Aldridge still is - the others are not so much, but could likely get us past the first round of the playoffs even without Kawhi.
Curry is a superstar on a team with no other superstars. He is more critical to GSW's success than Kawhi is to SA. This is not to put down Kawhi. You are right that he is a two-way player, but his importance to the Spurs is not quite as dominant as Curry's dominance is to GSW.
And as long as GSW is ahead of us in the standings, it will likely be unanimous.
If we do well from here on out, Kawhi could get another Finals MVP, and that would be be better than the Season MVP, wouldn't it?
No.
Next.
I sure hope SA is at least compe ive next Saturday. I kinda feels like we forgot how we got killed the last game. What's really changed? Spurs still haven't dominated anyone. GS still steps up vs good teams. Boris still playing subpar. Etc...
no, and who cares? Me awards are for losers.
Their point differential over their opponents (highest in the NBA) suggests that they are dominating someone.
So I guess you think duncan is a loser
Sorry, I meant anyone good. You know what I mean. Now.... Today.... That was pretty good D on a good team.
I think you're right, without a doubt. But if the Spurs somehow managed to take the top seed from GSW, in this historic season? He'd have a valid case. The MVP isn't supposed to be just the best shooter. It won't matter in the real world, but I would hope it at least wouldn't be unanimous, if all that happened.
Look at it this way.
Take Kawhi and Curry out of their respected teams.
Who wins more games? If SAS wins more than Kawhi doesn't deserve the MVP over Curry.
kawhi lebron durant is frontcourt right? or do they do the traditional spots
One center so one of the will miss out.
Im going to take a decent hunch that Kawhi will be 1st team. He's just so hyped this season. And with cle and okc not showing good signs lately.
Hes probably a little bit over both Durant and Lebron...but you can never underestimate mainstream writers bro. They can be very dependant on repuation. Many of them dont even watch games or really follow the NBA. Judt check some of the hilarious votes last year.
Yeah I know but with the hype Kawhi's been getting lately. What, 3 covers in 2 months? That's big . The mighty might fall and Lebron is going to the 2nd team imho. Durant has been killing it at least...
Nah, Lebron is a first teamer. Id slide durant out...i just think lebron has had to deal with more this year..but its pretty close
Ummmm.....no.
Portland's announcer(Mike Rice) just said he's giving his MVP vote to Kawhi over Curry..
Nice.
Number one seed and 5-7 60 point games ( 2 against gsw) during the last 12 games of the season and maybe there is a chance.
This is the most undisputed MVP award ive ever witnessed.
Kawhi with a great ending may win in other years, but im pretty sure this year they already have the engraving on the trophy and the shirts printed.
