The media is all up on Harden and Westbrook and if it where to be one of those 2 it will likely be Harden i think as his team will finish with a better record than Westbrooks.
Allthough i personally think Westbrook is overall the better player of those 2( Harden doesn't know what Defense is)

But in all honesty Kawhi should get it, he might actually be the best player in the NBA right now.
He isn't as flashy as the other contenders but his game does the talking: 2 time defensive player of the year and now he's also become an offensive superstar.
He deserves it.




Kawhi? I agree. His recent performance when the Spurs demolished the Cavs made me think Kawhi should be considered.

I should also add that James has once again had an excellent season and in may ways is, for me, the best in the game...

RW0!
James Harden is great too in this season, but Russel is just insane! It will be probably one of the best individual stats in regular season in history.
People can complan that he is selfish and have many turnovers, but same as Harden. And even Harden couldn't twist that stats. Other players are "just good" (Curry, James) or play in good team (Kawhi)

History and Rockets fans like myself say James Harden will win it, but if all 3 were out, I believe OKC would be the team with the worst record (out of the 3 teams).
Unlikely. Teammates look bad on the OKC roster precisely because of the ball-hog.

3 Kawhi
4 LeBron
5 Curry-Durant

I personally think that the MVP award should go to Kawhi Leonard mainly because hes is an ideal two way unstoppable force and is the best player on the 2nd best team in the League.
Curry and Lebron James who are probably the best two players in the league, wont rack up many votes despite being on the best teams in their conferences,mainly due to sharing the ball with superstars and very high expectations from their previous seasons which make their current seasons which are definitely MVP worthy ones,a step down from their peak years.

However, i think Jmaes Harden who is having an amazing offensive season will probably get the nudge over Russ because of his team's better position as the history of the award suggests.
Needless to say i think its probably the most wide open race for the MVP, with Gordon Hayward,John Wall and Isaiah Thomas putting up career years to lead their team to a very respectable position in the standings.

COACH D'ANTONI (to Harden): Say it with me...DEFENSE
HARDEN: D...E...
CROWD: DE-FENSE! DE-FENSE! DE-FENSE!
COACH D'ANTONI: See! Listen. DE-FENSE...DE-FENSE...Got it?
HARDEN: De...de...De-stroy them offensively?
COACH D'ANTONI (shrugs): Ah hell! Sure, why not.

Although it's unfair to LeBron that everybody got so used to his greatness and he may be the real MVP, it's also true that his team has the highest payroll ever so I would go with another option.

That would be Kawhi, the best defender in the league, the only all star in the 2nd best team in the NBA, one of the best offensive players right now.

What really makes me laugh is that people say that Westbrook's team mates are trash, but nobody predicted Houston above OKC at the beginning of the season. Now not only is Houston above OKC, but they will have around 10 wins more AND they have the 3rd best record in the league behind the Spurs and Golden State.
