[Reality] Harden will lose MVP to Giannis

Honestly, Harden has to be one of the most disrespected greats of all-time. If Rox get second seed then that best player on the best team point really should be moot. Why is no one mentioning how trash the eastern conference is anymore.

Anyway, I've made peace with Harden losing, I hope he explodes in the post season to shut up all the haters.

 

If the rockets get the 2nd seed and when* he loses it will probably be the greatest snub of all time. No excuse honestly, just none

 

I obv don't know specifics but something along these lines just makes too much sense. We already know Nike steers college recruits to certain schools and free agents to certain teams/cities. Why wouldn't they also meddle in the MVP race, since it would make their signees even more marketable when they win?

 

Here's a fun stat, Milwaukee has the 2nd lowest strength of schedule:

 

Bottom 14 teams all in the East

Bucks also in one of the easier divisions.
Cleveland & Chicago (lol). Pacers (no Oladipo). Pistons (mediocre, sub .500 team)

 

He would need to score 115 against OKC

 

I use to think Broussard to be objective, but his reaction after Nick Wright said Harden is drastically better than Giannis offensively let me know who he exactly is. He is just a Harden hater who pretend to be objective.

 

Its a business like every other and im shocked it isnt common knowledge. Just like ballon d or

 

Dunc’d on podcast on the mvp.... (paraphrasing)

Giannis.

“Harden is better offensively, but not as much as you think. Giannis is far superior defensively. I know Harden played 500 or so more minutes but that’s only because Giannis was beating teams down. Both are having historic season”

Later...

“I went with Lillard over Curry in the top 5. Curry was better per minute, but Lillard played over 500 more minutes than Curry and that’s a really big deal”

lol

 

This year reminds me so much of 2015 actually.

Curry gets a new coach and team exceeds expectations with great health along the way.

Harden has amazing stats and an injury plagued roster and may take the Rockets to the 2nd seed still on the last day of the season despite it all.


The media in the last 2 weeks of the reg season kept yapping about how close the race is and that its neck and neck and a total coin flip

final tally:

Curry 100 First place Votes -- 1198 total points
Harden: 25 first place votes --- 936 total points


for context:
last season when Harden won
Harden: 965
LeBron: 738

2016-2017:
Westbrook: 888
Harden: 753


Of course Curry's unanimous season there was a larger gap but expect this year's race to be much more like the 2015 race. Giannis probably will have around 70% of the first place votes.

 

I'm wondering if this isn't leaning more towards Harden than people think. I keep hearing "I'm voting for Harden but I think Giannis will win it."

 

The people saying that don't actually have votes. The Jason Terry, Paul Pierce, etc's.

The race is over. Giannis will win.

 

After much consideration I have decided that Harden deserves the MVP more than Giannis.
What he has done offensively this year, making history in my opinion is worth more of an MVP.
I don't mind whoever wins

Just hopefully after this year this Bucks hatred here will stop.

 

The current tally of known voters is 22-8 in favor of Giannis

 

LOL, this is so true!

 

Yup, I think that is exactly how it will go.

 

I don’t hate the Bucks, my mother was born in Milwaukee

 

I'm talking about media with votes that I've read or heard interviews with.
