I agree with your take, and whether you really believe that LeBron deserves to be the MVP every year or not - the bottom line is the league needs parity with its Superstars. MJ didn't win the MVP every single year either. Interest would begin to wane if the same superstar on the same teams win the MVP every year. LeBron has had some incredible seasons but honestly, come on, Hardin is far and away the best player this season (as you pointed out) and Westbook was far and away the MVP last year. Couldn't agree with you more.
