    No reason to hate on these guys. They are awesome. Losing to them is not a big deal bc talent wise they are much better.

    MVP has to go to the player who makes his team elite. Stat MVPs are not it. Non sense started when the Russ won MVP for avg a triple double. Jokic is awesome but his team is middle of the pack. SGA is putting up elite numbers and leading his team to an elite record. To me it’s not even debatable who the MVP should be.

    Surprised he didn't attempt to draw a foul signing the jersey.

    It does blow my mind how much money players make. It blows my mind even more how much team owners make.

    If anybody is deserving it's him, but my god these contract sizes are wild.

    Harden's first 4 seasons as a max player with us he only made 71 million total, this extension will average that.

    Team owners make it when they sell the team though, they don't make much during the seasons.

    If you take this year's salary cap and assume it grows at the max 10% per year this contract will be 34% of the cap in 2027-28 and 31.6% in 2030-31

    The Thunder better hope revenues increase every year by that amount or it could get ugly having that large a percentage of the cap tied up in one (admittedly great) player.
