    First player in history to get 60-15 and 5 steals

    If James Harden is not the MVP this season, what else does Harden needs to do? He is carrying a bunch of D-Leaguers and Bench players against NBA competition and dominating scoring the ball. Give the MAN that HARDWARE he deserves

    Good find!

    In fact, there are only 8 games in NBA History with at least 40 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 steals.

    just. amazing. MVP and no one can deny it at this point except for maybe lakers fans and the warriors players/coaches.

    I honestly think we can beat the warriors if 100% healthy because we'd have the best player on the court.

    it will be up to Morey and Tillman to get the supporting cast for that title run. will they be willing to package enough picks with knight to bring in a contributor? will they be willing to take on some salary or long term salary?

    I don't even care about the MVP anymore

    If they don't it to him , it's criminal but w/e ... he's been robbed before .

    If we can get that chip , the entire narrative begins to chance . Him not getting MVP would be a joke and he would get even more respect

    He deserves the MVP and I am sure that the National Media will make every excuse to deny him that Trophy. A championship would be awesome. Its been so long. I was in High School when we won the last one against Orlando. I remember riding on top of a car with brooms then. Great Memories. Hope I get to experience that feeling again.

    Some of The Ringer staff is trying to equate Harden's run to Westbrook's a couple years go. It's not the same..

    Duh he's the MVP...What Harden is doing this year is more impressive than Westrbrooks triple double season! If Westbrook won for a triple double harden sure better when it this season..Only Wilt and Jordan have had betters scoring seasons...and if Harden keeps it up he will pass Jordan!! MVP!

    Even so, they'll still say he doesn't deserve the same MVP award that Westbrook got.

    LeBron would win unanimous MVP doing what Harden's doing

    Curry would win unanimous MVP doing what Harden's doing

    Giannis would win unanimous MVP doing what Harden's doing

    But...Harden's not a media darling like those.

    If LeBron were doing this, they'd have already handed him the trophy.

    Curry never came close to doing what harden is doing. Outside of Jordan’s 37 point season and wilts prime no one has come close to this freak show
