Have LeBron and Kawhi Been unofficially elimated from MVP Contention

[AngelEyes]

I believe after today LeBron will have missed 13 consecutive games and Kawhi Leonard has now missed 12 games after taking two rest games in a row. What's the least amount of games you have to play in an 82 game season and still be considered for MVP? I feel like these two guys have already missed too many games considering the great seasons Giannis and Harden are having to be in serious contention.

Lebron has as he already has 4 and no one has won more than 4 without having the best record in the conference and/or league.

Yes although LeBron wasn't really in the running imo.

I'd say you have to have played at least 70 games to win MVP
