beast and easily the mvp of the season so far. too bad nba is hyping up gasol and curry over harden. i hope we end up being top 3 seed in the conference this season and warriors and grizzlies drop out from top 3
A lot of the pundits are coming around. They begrudgingly say he is the current MVP of the season. His acts of heroism can no longer be ignored.
last i checked on nba mvp ladder harden was rated 4th under gasol (1), curry (2), davis (3) and then harden. but davis wouldnt win it because they wont make playoffs. they are gonna update it on friday (tomorrow) so we might see a new face at #1 (hopefully)
If he can get more consistent on defense, I think he can make a very strong case for MVP. His mid range jumper has really improved, and it is now a potent weapon in his arsenal. Go James! We are all with you.
I have loved watching Harden on the Rockets the last two seasons. But the things he is doing this season are unreal. He will have plays during games where I literally will just laugh because it is so crazy and almost unfair to other players. Easily the MVP so far this season. Easily.
