    Yeah, Westbrook is going to win it i guess, personally i would still find it some sort of a joke. Can't wait to read the votes per voter though. I can see the best writers voting for Harden.

    Mmmh, i think you're right...

    Also, Michelle Beadle really has a vote? Oh my ****ing god...roftl...that's why players pick will always be the right one to me. And i'm not even sure Beadle is the worst having a vote out there, this tells you enough...

    I think Westbrook has it in the bag - the media loves stories and he has the better story. Stats and wins don't matter - reality just gets twisted to whatever people want.

    Man averaged a triple-double and broke Oscar Robinson's record - it's an incredible feat. And he'll get the MVP for it even though another play might be more deserving of it.

    Doesn't matter that RW leaves his man wide open so he can grab the rebound. Or that his teammates box out for him on free throws so he can get that extra rebound or two a game. What matters is that he has the stats and the story.

    on one way i think morey should kinda shut the **** up but then again i understand that he's looking around and barely seeing anyone in the media stand up for harden and make solid arguments for him so he feels it's his duty to defend his guy but his reputation is already pretty low and i wouldn't be surprised if it made voters even more strongly want to support westbrook to spite him.

    I'm at a point (of disrespect toweard them) in which i would like to see James win the MVP just to read ESPN whining about it (like they did when the players voted Harden over Curry)...jk...let's say...

    Some of these folks voting for Westbrook are probably the same ones that refused to vote for Altuve and Watt...

    Wow. This post is cancer.

    You want harden to prioritize being selfish over keeping his teammates happy and playing great dantoni ball?

    You mustve voted MVP > 1st round series victory.

    Has it always been a media vote? Might as well take every single MVP award with a grain of salt. Glad they took away some votes from ESPN, literally the dumbest people in sports. Their bias is so obvious.

    Lol why does going off the last 2 games equate to losing in the first round? Pushing for Harden to take the MVP has nothing to do with not wanting us to win in the playoffs.

    Honestly, we should be happy the public isn't voting, there's some really, really, really ****ing stupid arguments out there, worse than anything Skip or Joomba could conjur.

    In response to Harden's recent comments, I saw numerous people comment "if its about winning, Lebron should win it". Lmfao.

    Based on half the panel still thought Harden was MVP and one was only leaning Westbrook after he went nuclear the night before.

    Hope. It's there. I see it.
