So Harden = the whole Hawks starting 5. Knew it.

It's pretty corny giving it the whole starting 5. Much rather they give it to Horford, Teague or Millsap, or maybe all three.

This is cute. No really, it is if the Atlanta Hawks were a friggin' underdog HS overachieving against the Monstars or something. But, as a professional NBA team, it's kinda cringe-worthy.

Perfect month by the HAwks. No true clear cut superstar.

I thought it was super cool

The running joke is

"First Time in NBA History Two Teams have been named POTM"

They should have done this with last year finals mvp.

Sometimes nba players forget it is a team game and focus on all these individual awards.

Ridiculous and cheesy. This is a player award not a team award.
Kyrie had a good case to win it

Agree .its more cool .if you think about it, than in Harden's case , it's official recognition that he play with insignificant teammates and awful coach but managed to relatively seize a winning records

I think the starting five player agents should then all go to team management demanding equally large raises...

To be fair, awarding the Player of the Month to multiple players isn't unprecedented.

If you didn't know the NBA could do that, you're not alone; it was a new one on me, too. But there was precedent for multiple teammates sharing Player of the Month honors — LeBron James and Dwyane Wade did with the Miami Heat in December 2010; the Dallas Mavericks trio of Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash and Michael Finley got a three-way split of the Western nod in November 2002; and Boston Celtics stars Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker shared the award in December 2001 — so the league saw fit to offer the collective atta-boy.

So, awarding it to more than 1 player isn't anything new. Awarding it to all 5 is a first.

How come the Rockets starting 5 didn't get player of the month Feb '08? Not like the Hawks did anything unprecedented.
