    Well deserved and long overdue. They should have given it before the MVP award.

    Butler is a real deal, second best SG in the game behind Harden

    I'll took him over Klay any single day of the week because of his ability to torch you defensively over 40 minutes a game on elite level and score 20+ with efficiency on the same page

    His defense is also underrated, he's been guarding LBJ throughout the series. I'd still take Klay Thompson though because the dude is a sharpshooter who isn't bad defensively but Butler is still still really good...1-on-1 I think he's better than Harden.

    This was no contest, Butler should win this by a landslide. Well deserved and I think he will break the curse. The last few actually had some weird stuff going on after they won:

    - Dragic - horrible way to force a trade and did not even make the play-offs
    - Paul George - freak injury
    - Ryan Anderson - plagued by injuries
    - Kevin Love - no post-season appearance with Wolves, just put up great stats and now injured
    - Aaron Brooks - bench player, china, 3rd string PG but a little bit on the up-and-up now in Chicago.

    I still keep on laughing about Dynex and his TV....

    Kevin Love is in the running? He declined Most Declined Player

    Harden, Butler, Ariza and Brewer would be cheat codes.
