SO BASICALLY most voters who voted for Giannis either had voted for Westbrick in 2017 or had no vote in 2017 interesting, and confirms there is a bias against Harden
Dear TNT - thanks for letting this constipated old man with his sackful of day-old dad jokes and his congested monotone broadcast 50% of our postseason games.
Yeah the Westbrook in 16/17 and Giannis in 18/19 voters made a mistake 1 year. I think a lot of voters from 16/17 would like a redo.

These 5 voted for Westbrook, Lebron, Giannis- Jeff Zillgitt KC Johnson Keith Pompey Reggie Miller Weiping Zhang
Zhang Weiping is an old dude from Chinese CCTV5 station. Always reminded me of an Asian version of Sager sans funny suits. He always conducts interviews, and always found good words about both Harden and WBrook.
Dave Pasch, Mike Wilbon, Mike Breen and Jon Barry voted for Harden!? Wow, Harden got thumped in the voting and he got votes from people I thought would have voted for Giannis.

I hope someone is compensating @J.R. for all this analysis and breakdown. He needs to be paid Cuz some smug from Bleacher Report or realGm is going to take all his hardwork and write some long articles to monetize
I was wondering why he didn't show up on my list, and it's because he didn't vote for Westbrook either in 2017, he voted for LeBron. So this guy voted LeBron, LeBron, and Giannis. Questionable. For what it's worth he had Westbrook as his second place vote, and Harden as his third.
