Becsuse harden had a better season and won 56 games in the west with D12 sitting most of the season. It's the most valuable player not best player on #1 seed award.
So, best player on best team= MVP I wonder how fast this is forgotten when Cleveland is not in 1st place next year. Curry is a great great player, but the most valuable player this year, was james harden.
Dang, lots of salt in here Curry is a deserving MVP. I want to see Harden have the cojones to take this as an insult and take the Rockets to the championship b**** slapping Curry and GSW on the way
Indeed. Steph had a great season, but Under Armour launched just a good a campaign with their toy BSPN. Spoiler He was actually deserving and a good case could be made; it's just that the case should have been made without stories about shots he made in practice and other such poofiness.
He is exactly that. But you see, this is the issue with the "MVP" award. Nobody knows what the hell it means, so it can basically mean anything. Some years, it's best player on best team; some years it's most valuable player to one's team. The latter is the line the Rockets were pushing for Harden; the former is clearly what the media voted on. It's even more messed up in the NFL, where basically it will always be an offensive player and almost always a quarterback. My first thought on this is actually coming to fruition in a way. The players are voting on their own MVP this year, and I'm happy to see that. They used to vote on the official award before 1981. Who wins the Players' MVP will be a lot more interesting, and I'm actually kind of glad that players' award will separate, because it will be right there to compare against what the media thinks. I trust the players more. My second thought that will probably never happen in any of these pro sports leagues is that they should just split the "MVP" into two or more definable awards: Most Valuable To One's Team and "Best Player" (or whatever you want to call it.) Maybe even throw in something else for Best Player On the Best Team if the awards still aren't sufficiently defined. They could all go to same person possibly, but more likely it would allow the best player to be recognized and it would also allow players on teams without top records to be recognized for their stellar contributions to their team. Right now, the whole MVP discussion is just nothing but "what does it even mean?" every year. I'm very interested to see what the players think it means. The NFL should adopt the player votes as well. Hell, every sport probably should. The media lives in its own world.
I think JR is playing you guys like a fool. Clearly he's jinxing the **** out of Curry.. or so I hope.
