Why is Harden not getting MVP love?

Could anyone check when was the last time a player from 4th seed in a conference won MVP?

 

I went to check myself and couldnt find any. Its always top or second seed.

 

Only reason why Curry is getting more MVP love is because of how well they're playing. His team is stacked from top to bottom. Switch Harden and Curry, and the Rockets would be lucky to even have a top 5 seed.

Harden > Curry when it comes to impact and value.

 

Harden hasnt been mvp like that past 2 games. He cant have a 3rd such game in a row or the gap will widen even more.

 

Once Rockets drop to 5th seed or lower in WCF standings, he will be completely out of contention.

 

Curry has the luxury to show his skills and fancy dribbles when his team up by double digits, while Harden can hardly push his teammates to hit a shot or catch a ball
