The 2016-17 NBA regular season has officially concluded. Who won the race for MVP in the 2016-17 NBA Player Power Rankings?

After months of historic production and awe-inspiring rises to superstardom, the 2016-17 NBA regular season has officially come to a close. The final games were played on 2016-17, with postseason positioning being secured and the final award cases being made.

With the regular season officially behind us, only one question remains pertaining to what’s already transpired: who should win the awards?

The race for MVP is as tight as it’s been in recent memory, and the competition for the All-NBA teams has been just as fierce. There are a vast number of individuals who deserve recognition, but only so many honors to go around.

The intention of the final 2016-17 NBA Player Power Rankings is to cut through the rough and determine which individuals deserve to be recognized.

In some instances, players were directly responsible for the high-level success of their respective teams. In others, the players were so individually prolific that the team’s inability to string together wins is somewhat forgiven.

The question is: who were the Top 20 players in the NBA during the 2016-17 regular season and who deserves the MVP and All-NBA honors?

Just Missed The Cut: Paul George, Indiana Pacers; Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers; Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets; Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves
