The NBA never has defined the qualifications for the Most Valuable Player award, leaving it to each and every one of us to come up with our own definition. Players are no different, but there is a twist.
While they consider some of the same factors everyone else does—team record, individual stats, etc.—there's one they alone have access to: what it feels like to compete against an MVP-level player. For them, it outweighs all the others.
In short: They know one when they play one.

"Every year, the conversations [in the media] carry weight. Narratives take place in October, November and December, and [the media] has to feed those narratives. Voters get fatigue. But if you're watching and living in this every day, it's pretty clear. You know who should hold that trophy."

Most voters who have already come out have picked Giannis but major players support Harden. I think if Harden's name was Durant then he would have won it unanimously with the same stats. But Harden should do what the dream did to the admiral and win the championship itself.
