    I mean, Westbrook is a triple double and best passer, defender, rebounder, too.

    Giannis in vacuum isn't nearly as deadly as Harden. But surround him with a great floor spacing team like Milwaukee, and he becomes a major problem.

    i don't get why everyone is so high on giannis this season. his stats are almost exactly the same as last year's. the buck's success this year is due to their adoption of moreyball. all this while harden is balling on an even higher level than his mvp season.

    Fact.

    Going from Kidd to Bud is the reason.

    It doesn't really matter where you rank the other players as long as James Harden is #7 on the list.

    Going by how bad his takes seem to be, he should change his name to Helen Kellerman instead

    This is just inaccurate.

    His scoring efficiency has gone from really good to super mega elite. His rebound and assist percentage are up. Minutes have dropped while maintaining or improving on his counting stats.

    Even after this run by Harden I think my vote would still go to Giannis. Harden has closed the gap in a ****ing hurry and could easily over take him in the long run, but up to this point Giannis would be very deserving of MVP.

    Harden is playing the best basketball of his life in the last 10 games.

    However, you can not just point the finger and say the early season struggles of the Rox was all his teammates faults.

    Overall, I think it’s fair to say Giannis performed better for the whole season up to this point.

    Harden/Bron/KD

    The rest are interchangeable, IMO. I think PG is arguably top 8 this year as well.

    What you dont get? Without Giannis the Bucks wouldnt have 1/3 of the wins moreyball or not. On the other hand Buds system is supressing his scoring becoz he cant iso all the time.
    Take him out and the Bucks would be the 7-8th seed at best since he is the best playmaker defender rebounder and scorer and requires at least a double team which frees up the shooters.

    The minus is that his 3pnt% has fallen but his midrangers are back.
    Also he is on his way to break the all time dunk record.
