    I almost wish Harden is runner-up for MVP... Remember how fired up Hakeem was when he felt disrespected that they gave it to Robinson instead of him, then proceeded to destroy him in that series...

    If James keeps his current averages and the Rockets are a top 3 team in the West, he should win it no contest.

    How many writers said the Rockets would be "lucky" to make the playoffs or get a 7 or 8 seed? Almost everyone. And James' current numbers of 26ppg, 6ast, 6reb, 2stl and 1blk have never been done before. If anything, I can see his assist rise to 7 or 8 if Howard is back.

    I hope Steph Curry wins it then we play GS in the WCF and completely own them. They can have their MVP we will have our Finals appearance.

    I still wouldn't be satisfied until Curry claps his hands while crying and says "You're the real MVP James".

    What? Klay Thompson isn't even a top 3 defender on his team.

    I'd gladly accept that too if it's the only option, BUT.... I'd rather Beard win MVP AND beat Steph to reach the Finals.

    Agreed?
    Cool.

    He doesn't get steals, he doesn't get blocks, he doesn't even get rebounds, what he does is well is play disciplined defense to keep his man in front or funnel him. That a top 2 or 3 defender does not make, the top defensive players are difference makers that transform defenses.

    I wanna see Klay play point guard with Curry not on the court and see what he can do as the ball handler. Harden is an all around type player unlike Klay who is a 3-D type player.
