    They won’t let him win it again.

    He only won it last year because it was basically his turn, and very evident he should have won the previous year. Not to mention the year Curry won it over him.

    They threw him (and us given our league best record) a bone. The downside was the NBA decided they desperately wanted a GS/CLE Finals rematch, hence Silver sending in Scott Foster in Game 7 to finish us off. We had to settle for Harden finally winning an MVP and bragging rights for having the league’s best record.

    Lol, who would you have given it to last year? LeBron? If you watched at all last year you'd know Harden played better D than LeBron all season.

    Unless Milwaukee falls, or we can run away with the west somehow, cant see this happening this year

    That seems pretty petty, he is top 5 in steals and has been giving lots of effort the last couple years. His post defense is elite and he only gets blown by on the perimeter by speedy guys. Even then his quick hands get deflections and when he reaches around he pokes the ball away a lot.

    What are your thoughts on Curry's 2x MVPs in that case?

    For saying stuff like that, he should be banned.

    That Harden is Adrian Dantley, that Curry is just Tiny Archibald, and Westbrook is just an apolitical Dave Bing.

    Hot takes.

    Correct.

    He’s right up there in steals this year which whether DD likes it or not is a component of defense and even with the offensive weight he’s carrying if you’re watching the games you know he is efforting.

    The “he doesn’t play enough D” is an easy fall back complaint for far-sighted purists....
