    Lol the vote hasn't even happened yet? We already have a world champion.

    And these are regular season only awards? How is there not going to be playoff success bias here?

    Because he won the MVP for the FIBA tournament.

    Even though Harden should have won...

    Exactly, let's be real guys. Harden is not going to win the MVP; Curry's team just won the 'ship and Curry already has MVP approval from the media. How's Harden going to overcome that amount of bias?

    He'll probably win one like clutch performer or something, but he might not even win an award. Let's not start proclaiming Curry media's MVP and Harden as the players MVP, let's just hope everyone remembers Harden's great season.

    Pretty interesting, I never realized that. I mean obviously he left Melbourne pretty young (like at 2 per wiki), but cool to see he still holds camps there and has dual citizenship.
