I can't get enough seeing Houston at the top of the entire league with only 11 games left.

I get that there is a top 5 for mvp candidates and when someone plays themselves into that top 5, like Anthony Davis, it is probably worthy of media discussion, but Harden is so far above #2-5 that he really should be an unanimous pick given his stats and advanced stats. Voting for someone else is just ridiculous at this point.
Only question now is will it be unanimous? Which jackasses are going to vote someone else ahead of him?
#NotMyMVP - Max Anthony Davis We recognize if you had to pick between the two as to who's the better player per se, it's Anthony Davis. - Stephen A. (...but I believe has Harden as MVP)
Max Kellerman will go back on everyone's sh-tlist after today's First Take. He's actually saying Anthony Davis should be the MVP over Harden!
The AD overhype will never end. The media has been saying he’s gonna be the best player in the NBA since the end of the 14-15 season. AD is great, but there’s levels to this sh*t. He is not on Harden’s level. He does not have Harden’s impact. He can’t guide a team to 50+ wins year in and year out. AD has no case for being the MVP over Harden so chalk this up as yet another Donkey of the Day moment for Clown Kellerman
There are going to be votes that wont go for Harden just because its Harden... no matter what he does. "Basketball reasons"
This MVP will go down as one of the few that should be unanimous if it weren't for one jackass caught up with an inferior player, IE: Shaq in 2000 (AI got one vote), and LeBron in 2012 (Melo got one vote).
