Stephen A. Smith wants James Harden for MVP: He is nothing short of sensational

Your point is accurate but you aren’t accounting for the social media viewing of these stories

 

Like I've said before, the thing that separates special players from superstars is BB IQ. Lillard is an incredible talent but at times last night he looked lost when the game was on the line. That's the type of player AD is so far. Mega talented, but I can't see him mentally drawing up a play the would net positive results without his hands on the ball. Both Harden and CP3 have proved to be brilliant decision makers on the floor in being able to elevate the talent of their teammates as a whole as well as being dynamic players themselves.

Technician vs Engineer

 

The ONLY thing AD is better at than Harden is blocking shots and that is only because AD is bigger. In all other aspects Harden is superior. He is a better shooter, better at getting to the line, better at getting his other teams involved, higher basketball IQ, I could go on and on. We are so fortunate to have James Harden. For his size it is amazing he is so durable. The beating he takes every night that the refs let other players get away with is unbelievable but they still can't stop him. He is the toughest yet most even keeled competitor I have ever seen and now that he has the help he needs I think he will take us all the way this year.

 

This is becoming a farce. There is no consistency on this show. Wasn't it just a day or two ago that Max Kellerman was saying Anthony Davis is the MVP?

 

Spot on about AD...

Ex; Lebron is a freak, built, a greek god, always has been, easy prediction of greatness so the media will continue to slob that knob because they can all sit around crowing that they called it from day one.....

Harden coming out of ASU, even as the 3rd pick, NO ONE SAW THIS COMING! Harden has done more with less athletically then ANYONE could've imagined and each year he's gotten better....but who called it?

"best case he's Ginobli, worst case Courtney Lee"

You could put ALL of the talking heads at ESPN in one room and NOT ONE could claim they predicted what Harden has become so they'll continue to hate what they don't understand

 

Here is some good analysis of Harden one on one
