Durant is taking the MVP this year

[Halberto]

Still half a season left, but is there even a debate at this point?

He defines MVP in just about every sense. With more pressure on him to score he is consistently scoring 40+ point games while shooting over 60%. When his team needs him the most he answers with clutch plays, whether its a pass or a bucket. With his All-star PG out he's keeping his team on top of the west and has them currently on an 8-game winning streak. He's not just scoring either, he netted a triple double during this stretch.

Love him or hate him, you need to respect him. I love LBJ, but this year it's Durant's MVP to lose.

He is the MVFTS

One by one, every non-bias basketball enthusiast will endorse Duralpha's MVP season. You just gotta appreciate greatness and I am excited to share with other basketball fans the witnessing of anther legend as he goes to work.

Seriously, he's having a great season. There's no way to spin it. Not only is he great individually, but he's leading his team to a top seed in the West. Clearly the MVP right now.

[Juggity]

What happens if lebron beats him handily in their matchups, though? or if the heat pull another win streak? or both. It'll make a closer race, tbh.

[Clipper Nation]

Durbeta was the "clear MVP" at this time last year, and then the Kang stopped coasting :lol

Don't see why everyone's expecting that the same won't happen this year, tbh....

Because Durant is much better this year, and Lebron is not as good? His numbers compared to last year have dipped a considerable amount. And their roster is a year older. You're expecting them to go on a 20+ game winning streak? Ok.

KD has the clear edge here, he's playing without Westbrook and the team is still winning at the same pace while he's averaging 37 ppg 8 rpg 6 apg in his last 17 games.

[Clipper Nation]

LeBron is still the best player in the world, Durflop's stat-padding aside.... he's coastingPERIOD

But Lebron doesn't stat pad, riight? :lol

All trolling aside, Durant is ballin right now. Just hope he doesn't go the Derrick Rose 2011 route.

If he does win the MVP, Lebron will be possessed to tap that skinny a$$ in the finals.

[Clipper Nation]

If he does wins the MVP, Lebron will be possessed to tap that skinny a$$ in the finals.
If Durbeta gets MVP and they meet in the Finals, I really think it will be a repeat of when Hakeem took a wet shit on D-Rob :lol

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

The Heat have a better team and match up well with the Thunder.

Durant is the MVP for sure this year at this point... but lets not get carried away. "All time great" :lmao based off what exactly? What has Durant really accomplished?

[sook]

nasty discharge from a raised bump on the skin, maybe durant has some mutated form of herpes, simplex 3 or some shit :lol

[RsxPiimp]

I was a bit surprised to find out KD has more triple doubles and double doubles than Lebron this year.

I'm sure he gets superstar calls more than everyone else, but you can't focus only on that. The refs arent the ones throwing in those contested jump shots for him. He's got someone in his face 90% of the time and still sinks them. He's unguardable, just like how dirk is when he's lighting people up.

Crazy thing is hes been getting it done with Westbrook and Freethrows.

[TDMVPDPOY]

pretty obvious he will be mvp, there isn't really a discussion.

just like the last 2 seasons where there was no clear 2nd runners up to make some noise, so they go and promote some enrique who thought he really had a legit chance....yet the asslickers bought into it...

[DMC]

Thunder are a better team without Westbrook.

[Phillip]

lol this is eerily similar to MJ's first 3-peat. MJ and his team dominates through the first two championships and he wins MVP in both, but on the 3rd, they lose some regular season focus, people think they are vulnerable because of their lesser record and a phyiscal up and coming team gave them a tough series the year before, and a different player wins MVP.

KD can win MVP, great for him. But they still have no chance at beating Miami in the finals.

[Venti Quattro]

KD can win MVP, great for him. But they still have no chance at beating Miami in the finals.

Tbf to Durant no team has a chance to dethrone the Heat in June.

They'll get soundly beaten up and he'll come crying to his momma again who will console him with "It's ok Kevin you won the MVP award..."

Fair enough. As long as the Spurs lose, who are we to complain?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

It is true though. This time last year, TP was getting endorsed to be MVP - then LeBron took over.

[Phillip]

Yeah, if Lebron leads his team on another massive win streak, gets the #1 overall seed again, and does it with extreme efficiency like he did last year, he will vault himself right back to the top of the votes.
