The question isn’t ‘is he the best player across his career’… that goes without saying that of the current players, his career’s been the best. It’s “in THIS year, is he the most valuable player”. Someone else may step up that year and be the best/most valuable.
Sometimes an argument is made that when there’s two or three candidates to choose from, the right choice is the one that’s missed the most by their team when they’re gone. Deciding factors seem to be popularity and accomplishments in previous seasons. Not any better than injury being an advantage.

Yeah, save injuries for Comeback of the Year criteria.

What about the sixth man concept?
The man that comes in as a substitute, and proceeds to lead the team to victory.
And he does that 80% to the times he comes in.
Couldn’t such a person be the MVP?
