    Let's hope he can defend Harden's defense in a pun-free manner.

    Instead of a debate, Bull and Novak should just have a three-point shootout. :D

    At least it’s not Clyde.

    Still... it will be embarrassing.

    But can Novak even dunk though?

    He’s got nothing on Air Bullard:

    Wait, so they will be talking with the NBA on TNT team, or is it a separate segment?

    If Ernie is introducing them, this will be cringe-worthy. all I hope is for Bull to be prepared for a comeback when Kenny calls him homer ...

    “yeah, Kenny...Dream, Drex, Big E, Calvin and I all go to every Rockets game and talk, with Max and Mario as frequent visitors. We know you and Charles have some weird vendetta against the team, and won’t vote Harden out of spite, so sorry Lebron can’t put up same numbers to make your vote even easier.”​

    Most valuable player
    Who contributes to winning in a way that can’t be replicated to that extent by anybody else?

    Harden’s case is that he may be the greatest offensive force in the modern NBA.

    Giannis has been amazing as well, but his impact is Orl Shaq (29/13/2). He finished 4th, and lost to another Rocket that year 93-94 by the name of Dream.

    Historical comps are:

    87-88
    Jordan 35/6/6, 50-32
    Vs
    Bird 30/9/6, 57-25

    Guess who won. MJ.

    18-19
    Harden 36/6/8, ~53-29
    Giannis 27/13/6, ~60-22

    Media bias says?

    Why are some people thinking this is going to be embarrassing? Bull has always had hardens back. So what if he says 3>2. Keep in mind, bull can be tiresome to us because he reuses a lot of his material, but to the majority of this audience it will be brand new.

    Am hoping the actual MVP decision is not riding on the outcome.

    Bullard will do a great job. He's quick with stats, and if Novak even tries to talk about defense, Bullard will certainly break out the post defense, and steals/deflections. I'm almost hoping Novak talks about Hardens defense. That's such a tired and lazy topic when discussing Harden.

    You know Morey is stacking the deck here and feeding Bullard some cool stats.
