Re: Kawhi Leonard Announced As All-Star Game Starter
I'm sure the masses will complain about Curry over Westbrook, but I don't have a problem with it. I'd have went with Paul over both had he stayed healthy though.
Lowry is the best guard in the East and should have been the automatic. I'd have went with Wall second.

Harden almost won MVP twp years ago as a sub.
They're barely pver 500% would be criminal to give him MVP. he's averaging 8.5 uncontested defensive reboubds. :lol

He's been great overall, but ya, I have Harden as my MVP at the moment, then Durant, then Westbrook. But I think Russ has a legit chance to win based off of his stats, the narrative (KD leaving, Russ having "no talent" around him). I am really trying to think of someone who actually won MVP and didn't start the all star game that same year.

OKC second half schedule is much more difficult. They could easily fall under .500% and Curry stealing first team honours. So long as Houston keeps pace with San Antonio, he would win it.
It's still early. A 15 game stretch from kawhi or Lebron could easily change the direction of the MVP race...Specially since both players will mpst likelt finish with the 2nd or or third best records overall.

It looks to me like the last time the eventual MVP wasn't a starter in the ASG was 2004-05, when Steve Nash was the MVP, but Kobe and McGrady were the starting guards for the West in the ASG.
(to be picky, Karl Malone ended up stealing Tim's 1999 MVP, but wasn't an ASG starter, though only because there wasn't a game that year).

He has not been their best player. Lowry has. Demar has been solid though even if his impact doesn't match is box score.

i agree with you both. there is an argument for all those players you named, d. i don't have any problem with kawhi's overall vote, but i think the player vote should be a closer race. i did hear on the radio that a lot of the top players in the league think kawhi is overrated so that could also be a reason he was 4th in the player vote.
