There are only 3 active MVP players who did not win the championship

On the NBA stage, MVP and championship are important symbols for measuring a player's achievements. After winning the MVP trophy, many legendary stars won the championship again. James, Curry, Durant, Jokic, Antetokounmpo, and Alexander, they all did it, but there are still several stars who are still chasing the championship, including Harden, Westbrook and Embiid.

Harden's career can be regarded as a history of struggle. From the Thunder’s best sixth man to the Rockets’ growth into a superstar, Harden’s personal honor book is full of glory. 1 MVP, 3 scoring champion, 2 assists champion, 10 All-Stars, 6 best teams, and 60 points and triple-double in a single game that shocked the ancients and the most popular. His three-pointer retreat became a technical move for global players to imitate, and also pushed the league's tactics into the era of data, even allowing NBA rules to change because of him. But even so, the championship ring is always his regret. After many teams, Harden is still working hard for that ring. The same is true for Westbrook, who spent the most glorious time of his career at the Thunder. He has a strong and passionate style and is a fighter on the court. In the 2016-17 season, Westbrook scored an epic data averaged by triple-double and won the regular season MVP. But fate seems to always like to tease him. For the sake of the championship, he has been to many teams such as the Rockets, Wizards, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, but he still missed the O'Brien Cup. As the leader among the active centers, Embiid is also working hard for the championship. He has excellent offensive skills and solid inside footsteps. In the 2022-23 season, Embiid was elected as the regular season MVP with his luxurious data averaged 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. However, in the fiercely competitive East, he and the 76ers have not yet broken through the siege and won the championship.

This season, things seem to have changed a little. The Clippers still have a chance this year. After a series of operations during the offseason, the Clippers have signed up for Collins, Dalow, Paul and Bill. The lineup has been significantly upgraded, and Xiao Ka has been maintaining health since the second half of last season, so the main force is strong enough. In addition, the lineup is very deep, so the regular season can allow Harden and Cardo to rest, and then focus on the second half and the playoffs.

MVPs all want to win the championship. Will it be Harden's turn this year? If Westbrook joins the bottom salary in the middle of the season, the Clippers will win the championship this year, and they will solve the situation where Harden, Paul and Westbrook will not have a championship. It can be said that it is really the best arrangement, and the endings of all three are perfect...

Of course, it is really difficult to win the championship. Especially in the West, there are really many powerful people, including the defending champion Thunder, the strong team Nuggets, the Rockets whose lineup has been upgraded this year, traditional strong teams such as the Lakers, Timberwolves, and Warriors, as well as new troops like the Spurs that can disrupt the situation.

But who can be sure that the Clippers cannot create miracles? The charm of sports lies in its uncertainty, and nothing is possible. Perhaps this season, we can really see Harden, Westbrook and Paul winning the championship trophy, and they all cry out with joy to fulfill their long-cherished wishes in their careers.

Dear fans, what do you think? If the Clippers can win the championship, is it the best arrangement? Why don’t the boss Ballmer go and take a walk to Xiao Hua’s back door? Enjoy the whistle of the Thunder last season?
