If any of Lamar, Allen or Burrow were 15-1 with Mahomes’ stats, they’d be voted MVP by the Chiefs-hating national media. We all know it to be true.
That’s why it’s not worth dwelling on these awards at all. I similarly stopped taking the NBA MVP seriously when the media found some ridiculous justification to give it to Derrick Rose over prime LeBron just because he was on the villain Heat.
It simply isn’t about who the best or most valuable player is. It’s about what the “best” narrative is at that given moment.
