167: You Will Have Nothing (Vote for monthly tickets!)

Every year around this time, the topic of who will become the MVP is always hotly debated among fans.

The All-Star is over, and the regular season has entered a period of aesthetic fatigue for fans. Only the ownership of the MVP can continue to draw their attention to the regular season.

For fans, the MVP is just casual conversation after meals, a tool for the league to maintain discussion.

But for players, the fight for MVP has never been easy.

This isn't something that Ben Simmons, who posts a "revenge season is coming" training video during the offseason only to flop once the games start, could understand; to snatch the MVP, you have to battle, you have to be strong, you have to truly commit yourself to the long season.

Role players might receive praise for an explosion in a few games, but to compete for the MVP, if not 82 games, you at least need to maintain a high performance level for about 70 games. Plus, your team's record must be among the very best.
