    If I recall well the best record in the league and No 1 seed were huge for his MVP case, and I doubt this happens without CP3.

    fwiw: All we needed was 60 wins to get best record in the NBA, and 59 for #1 seed in the West.

    Can we get that with adding Tucker, Green and Luc to a team with Bev, Lou Williams and Harrell, or other ppl we could have traded them for (along with the FRP)?

    Impossible question to answer as the whole season as well as Harden's performance would have been different.

    most likely not true, because the worriers gave up as soon as they saw no 1 seed is out of reach if i recall well

    Worries didn't give up. @Louka took over.

    prob not because the media wants Lebron to win another one so badly, he'll likely get it next year on the lakers where most of the media are based.


    IMO, the biggest reason why Harden won this year was because the media felt bad for him after so many runner ups AND the 65 wins that none of them predicted would happen when we signed CP3.
