People would have a solid argument that KD or even Draymond would split his votes. And granted, CP3 has missed a good chunk of the year and likely wouldn't get votes, but if Harden can be a candidate with another All-NBA player than Steph can as well.

He's really the player that makes them go. I'm probably not telling you anything new but the team's on/off Net Rating is historic. Even moreso than Durant's ratings, which in his defense are really good, but not in Steph's range.
