    Stealing 2 more rebounds from your bigs is somehow legendary

    His rebounding stats is pure stat pad imo, they have very good bigs on the team, those extra rebounds literally does not change a thing

    Harden winning the most games of any candidate is proof that he's not the MVP. A real MVP would win less games because his teammates don't hit 3's well.

    Adams got just 4 rebounds today. Gibson only had 4 rebounds. Kanter only had 4 as well. Westbrook had 11. Something's not adding up. All these 7 footers on their roster and Westbrook is getting more than double the amount of boards that they do. They combined to get just 1 more rebound than Russ. Hmmm...seems like there's some stat padding going on.

    Hopefully Westbrook's rebound pad is recognized as a pad.

    It's weird because the meat of the story paints a better picture of what went down, but the title is what the average joe will see...

    Personally, I want James to lose again. I want him to hulk up like Hakeem did and take us to a title. I truly believe we can win this year. We are a good to really good team if James is average. We are really good to great if he's Hercules. If the rockets are all clicking? Games over.

    I don't get this logic. Why can't Harden win the award and then hulk up like Hakeem?

    1. This didn't work in 2015
    2. The Season MVP won't be announced until after the Finals this year, so he won't even know either way

    that's extremely lame that the NBA did that. I think its fun and cool to have the MVP announced around the 2nd round of the playoffs. It helps with storylines and drama in the playoffs.

    I mean imagine how different that rockets/spurs series would've been if they never announced drob as the mvp

    Because they saw the Players award show and wanted to have their own award show. I agree it's lame

    What?? You want him to get snubbed out of an incredible personal achievement that he's worked his whole life for...... because you think it will cause him to play even better??? What kind of ass backwards logic is that?? Hell, even Olajuwon WON the year of our first championship. I want Harden (as well as MDA, Beverley, Gordon/Lou, Morey, etc) to win every possible accolade ON OUR WAY to a 'ship.

    Still not worried. End of day I don't see the media giving MVP to someone who barely made the playoffs.

    Writers are responsible for articles, editors make the titles.
