because there are tons of cases where players in the past havent and still gotten the awards
65 games is arbitrary and not based on any data at all. It's an asspull number. Why not 55 games, why not 50? Victor Wembanyama is arguably the most impactful player in the league, and has played 57 games. So because he didn't play this arbitrary number of 65 games, he shouldnt win any awards?
Cade Cunningham led his team to the 1 seed in the east and is having an all-NBA 1st team/MVP caliber season. Since an opponent fell on him, collapsing his lung, he shouldnt be eligible for awards because he didn't play an arbitrary 65 games, again, number based on no data?
no that won't work. You need to play 20 mins for the game to count
Jrue holiday did this a few yrs ago
or just abolish it because it doesn't address the actual "issue" of load management
no voters were giving ppl MVP/All-NBA/All-defense honors for playing 35 games anyway

If you cant play at least 65 games, you dont deserve the award. People pay their hard earned money to go see games.

Yes you fukking, dummy. You need to actually play a majority of the games in the regular season to be eligible for regular season awards. You sound dumb AF.

This is the new nba for you. Players play half the time, yet want all the accolades and full pay. 
"a majority" could be anything you stupid fukk. it could be 44, 50 or 51, etc.
And again, it was already considered without there being a random 65 game rule, you dumb bytch. So the rule is unnecessary
Cade would most likely get all-nba 1st team without this rule, and he played a majority of the games, dumbass. But with this rule in place, he won't even though he play "a majority of the games" like your inbred ass just stated. That's why the rule doesn't work, you fukking mongoloid
Go look at how many MVPs played under 70 games in the history of the NBA. That's how they got to 65, which is more than fair. They drew a line in the sand and still gave a cushion.
Cade missed 3 straight games in Nov. Ok, let's say that was for a legit injury/illness. Then he missed 4 random games between Jan & earlier this month. Had he played those games, he'd still have been eligible.

i think mvp shouldnt have a cap though
Say a team go 10-32 without vs 40-2 with the superstar
How is he not the mvp
