    Y'all are wrong. Harden never had the favor and Curry can't look any better and it's been that way all year.

    You don't believe me, check this video on ESPN's own site. Granted it's TrueHoop but still it made ESPNs NBA site.

    Interesting how it's being played as though other teams don't send items.

    This is pretty cool. If I was Harden this would make me feel good knowing the org appreciates me

    I think Harden deserves the MVP, but I won't be too sad if he doesn't get it. Will just make him more motivated if he gets snubbed. Plus, I think there's a clause in his contract that increases how much cap space his contract eats up if he wins it.

    People, MOST if not all teams sends stuff to the media. Maybe our team just sends things that stands out more. They probably have more budget alloted in it. I personally see nothing wrong with campaigning - it's one of the FOs job. As a graphic designer, I think the kit looks pretty cool.

    Hey Zach, how about selling the 'dumb promotional trinkets' and donate the proceeds to charity.

    Does chanting MVP everytime he goes to the foul line improve
    his chances?

    This is about marketing a guy like Harden vs the choir-boy Curry.

    Genius idea by Morey. People saying otherwise need to get their heads out of their ass and realize, we are a smaller market than the Bay Area and have had fewer opportunities for Primetime games.

    horrid - strauss said harden doesnt lead in advanced stats except he does lead curry in win shares (even though strauss says curry leads harden in the video)

    the whole video is garbage - saying he had just a teammate injured is just such a slap in the face - harden has had to play majority of the season without 40% of his starting lineup.

    That was done by Ben Rogers of the Ben & Skin show in Dallas, not the Mavs. But Cubes would do what ever thought would attract players.

    Oh well, Zach Lowe was never going to vote for Harden anyway. If you have read any of his columns all year, it is obvious.

    I thought he and Bill agreed in a podcast that Harden was their choice for MVP?

    That promo kit looks very cool! Props to the design department.

    I think we know where Zach Lowe's vote will go. For those who will vote for Harden, they will love it.

    These won't lose him votes. We need that second seed and OKC to start losing games. That will cement him as MVP.

    Harden leads in WS, Curry leads in WS/48min.
