In basketball terms, if it is first to a proverbial 21 for MVP, my current "score" is: Westbrook 18 Harden 16 Leonard 16 Westbrook jumps ahead with that monster game while the last two games for Harden and Leonard were subpar.
In basketball terms, if it is first to a proverbial 0 for MVP (perfect MVP player), my current "score" is: Harden -1 WestBrook -2 Leonard -3 LeBron James -4
In poker terms, on the flop, my current "score" is: Harden: open-ended straight flush draw Westbrook: top set Kawhi: bottom set Lebron: two pair
Harden's 53 point triple double was way more impressive for a number of reasons. People have a short memory.
