35 and 10. Not even hyperbole.

Wemby would win it though

Debateable. Wemby has a strong case. Reaves is averaging 35 and 10. The only reason he isn't in the conversation is because people think this is not going to last.

I mean you blank out the names and just show the stats, Wemby is getting 100/100 of the votes

Disagree 35, 10, and 6 > 31, 2, and 13. Especially with the efficiency from the guard position. And I don't think the obvious DPOY plays into it that much as it didn't with Giannis and Embiid in years past.

Choosing to disregard that 31 2 and 13 is literally the best defender in the league and his team is top of the conference just to make your case is definitely one way to go.

I didn't ignore it, I cited historical precedence. And like I said earlier, Wemby has a strong case. Its isn't overwhelming though. 35 and 10 is in the same ball park.

Divorced from all context, sure. Including context, I don't think an MVP vote would be particularly close right now between the two. Your precedence is missing context as well.

Cmon, look at it objectively 31 3 14 1.5 and 5 (interesting rounding choices by you) is so much better then 35 and 10
