NBA: MVP race

SportsCenter Top 1 Play of the Night.

Gotta admit that was LeBronesque and mvpworthy

[TDMVPDPOY]

how many of the porker fans are jumping on the bandwagon? lmao porkerfans

[TDMVPDPOY]

remember that year kobe avg +34ppg and still couldn't win mvp cause his team finish 7th? even with the historic consecutive 30pt+ games ?

now if they didn't give him mvp, why should they give it to wb who is clearly padding his stats to avg a triple double, and hardens game Is just a mimick of currys video game mvp year, chucking +10 3pta and if u hit half of that u already got 15pts on ur way to +30pts...fkn empty stats guys

He's been their 2nd best player behind Dragic IMO and has become a legit offensive bench anchor..the only knock on him for 6MOTY could be that Tyler Johnson is also a top 5 candidate, as well..

What do you think steered the Spurs away from him? I think it was the 2014 off-season they bought him in for workouts, but didn't even sign him to the training camp roster. I'm baffled at why they passed on him. Almost every time that he's played the Spurs since then, I thought he's looked good.

Ahh Lebron got the block, but Kyrie hit the 3. Kawhi hit the 3, then got the block, then got the rebound, then made the free throws.

Many teams passed on him..he was known for having a poor work ethic and not caring about basketball until this season(in his own words)..

Wow, well that sucks as I thought he's look good almost every time I've seen him play against the Spurs.

Both Harden and Westbrook ahead of Kiwi in the mvp race.

Replace any of the two with Kiwi and Rockets/Thunder don't even make the playoffs. Kiwi is not a better passer or scorer than those two. Slightly better defender but that's about it.

[szkorhetz]

yet a ing stat padder on a one and done playoff team is gonna win the damn award.

Leonard isn't stat padding, TBH.

[BD24]

Leonard isn't stat padding, TBH.

reading comprehension is your friend.

And joke getting is yours, tbh.

He isnt supposed to be. He isnt a guard. He is every bit as good of a scorer.......he avg 26 a game, and had the same 39 that Harden had last night. Defense is laughable. Kawhi is 110% better on defense than Harden and he is much better than WB on defense.

[Chucho]

1. Kawhi
2. Thomas
3. Westbrook
4. Harden
5. Defacto LBJ

Not that what Westbrook is doing isn't impressive, but triple doubles aren't the measurement for MVP, but if so, JKidd would have an MVP. They are great players playing for middle-of-the-pack teams. The West is a two-horse race and Kawhi is just so much more to his team than stat padders playing for 1st round bounces.

[lilbthebasedgod]

1. Lebron
2. Giannis
3. Kawhi
4. Harden

[TD 21]

1. Leonard
2. Harden
3. James
4. Westbrook
5. Durant

- I despise the Warriors, yet had Curry from damn near start to finish last season and Harden earlier this one, so this isn't me being a homer
- I had Durant 4 before his injury and though he won't finish top five (Thomas will), I don't see anyone else deserving at the moment of leapfrogging him

[tonight...you]

1. Lebron
2. Giannis
3. Kawhi
4. Harden

Jesus...
You give Lil B a name, face. And that ain't easy...

[StrengthAndHonor]

I hope the media gets this one right. FFS, how can you have Harden over a legitimate 2 way player in Leonard.

[BatManu20]

Westbrook currently lighting up the Blazers on NBA TV. He really wants the MVP tbh. And it's his to lose imho.

[spurraider21]

1. Lebron
2. Giannis
3. Kawhi
4. Harden

clipper nation alt tbh

[spursistan]

Thunder are reeling an could be 41-41 team when it said and done..Yeah, you're getting MVP for 7th seed and .500 ball club

[99 Problems]

I can't have mvps who turn ball over in big numbers. (Playmaker allowance and all)

[Spurs9]

Westbrook has 56 right now

[Robz4000]

And a nice lil' L to go with all his points.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

58 points and lost is classic Iverson performance. His MVP race is over.

[UZER]

Westbrook has 56 right now

On 39 shots

[spursistan]

And a nice lil' L to go with all his points.

They are going to finish as .500 team and the 7th seed .

The essence of the award would be absolutely lost if they handed it to a player on a team with such lowly pedigree. Kawhi could bury his bid on Thursday..At this point, I hope Pop let him chase thing as long as the Spurs have a horse in the race. You never know what the future holds for you.
