    It's absolutely crazy that they are going to give the MVP to a player I absolutely wouldn't want on my team no matter how little he cost. It's gotta be the low point for the award.....and honestly they might as well stop giving it out after this given that it has no credibility left.

    I'm just glad it's almost over. Friday is the last day.

    Yes, but not all teams are equally strong. If you resort to the "all 82 games are statistically worth the same" cliche, then you've lost the argument b/c you're trying to be entirely objective about a topic that focuses on subjectivity.

    Look at the Rockets and Spurs. Without Leonard, the Spurs won 88% of their games. Without Harden, the Rockets won 100% of their games. Based on your logic, the Rockets have a better supporting cast, right?

    If Harden loses, (I remain optimistic) he has the absolute best route in the playoffs to prove his naysayers wrong.

    The line start to form on Sunday against the Thunder. #GetGame1.

    Can someone find the stat of how many games Harden was one assist or rebound away from a triple double? If I remember correctly it was alot, and very well could have gotten close to breaking the triple double record.

    Wiley defended Harden pretty hard on Sportsnation but every time he said something he was met with criticism. The moron with the dreads is so obnoxious. He has one of the worst speaking voices I've ever heard, is not an ex athlete that I'm aware of, and has no insight to offer. Why is he on tv? People like that are so loudly pro Westbrook that it makes impossible to have a legitimate discussion. Also Beadle has Kawhi first and Harden third. How the **** is that possible?

    I knew this thing wasn't going to be close but the logic is just dumb.

    So I'm guessing D'antoni and Morey are winning coach and executive of the year in a landslide?

    Aren't they the reason Harden can even dribble a basketball?

    11/5 vs ATL: 1 rebound shy (30-11-9)
    11/25 vs SAC: 1 rebound shy (23-10-9)
    12/9 vs OKC: 1 rebound shy (21-12-9)
    12/10 vs DAL: 1 rebound shy(18-16-9)
    12/17 vs MIN: 1 rebound shy(28-13-9)
    2/3 vs CHI: 1 assist shy(42-9-12)
    4/7 vs DET: 1 rebound shy(33-12-9)

    ...and some games 2 rebounds/2 assists/both from a T-D

    Clearly Clint, Nene, Patrick & the rest of the team didn't get the message to move out the way. ;):rolleyes:

    The "so many angles" MVP segment was brutal. Harden makes history, Marcellus points it out, and they all roll their eyes like those stats don't after at all..

    Rachel Nichols admitted that Harden is the stats MVP.

    Also Gordon for 6th man of the year, Harden has so much help after all.

    She sounds like she has a vote and is still undecided. She was on the show earlier, the one before that, saying similar things about Harden and how his leadership should matter and how where his team is at should matter.

    Man, Ariza literally fights Harden for rebounds.. Ariza just let Harden get the rebound! Doesn't matter now.

    Ridiculous numbers this guy put up this year! Sad that the media and most nba fans can only see the surface. Well, at least we know who the real MVP is!

    Lip service. It seems now everyone want to justify their picks. Nichols has been riding with Westbrook from The jump (pun! Ha!). What's changed?

    Are you saying ESPN has a fever & the only prescription is more Russell Westbrook? ;)
