Rockets: Is Harden the MVP So Far This Season?

[Brazil]

Should be:

1- Harden(easily)
2- Curry
3- Paul
4- Lebron
5- Davis?

However, I'd be shocked if Curry doesn't win, tbh..

- Best player on a team having one of the 5-7 best regular seasons in NBA history
- Plays for the most liked team in the NBA by the media and fans; Houston is disliked by most fans and media(partly due to Morey IMO)
- Arguably the most exciting player in the league; Harden's game is hideous for a player of his caliber
- Looks like a little boy..light-skinned, very appealing to White people; Harden has a menacing beard, makes it rain off the court, celebrates on the court with the cooking baking soda, etc

Damn... where is Russel <3 on your list brah ?

fwiw I like Paul out of this list

and would go

Harden
Curry
Lebron
Russel <3
Davis

imho, tbh

Curry is a lock for bs reasons, its a media award tbh.

Not a big deal, heads like Ethan Straus need to be punched in the face though. ing " espn anal -ists"

I think Curry would be a lock if he played as much minutes as Harden, but his team wins so many games easily, he has less minutes. He's been more efficient than Harden, but Harden has had to do way more for his team and is truly a MVP type player where Curry could be Most Outstanding Player if such an award existed.

[Mikeanaro]

Harden has to flop much more for his team to get at least 25 FT, that beardie is a disgrace to the game.

[Raven]

Fact is, Harden is proven to be much better than Westbrook. It's not like Harden has had much help around him this season and he has his team contending for the second seed in the West while Westbrook continues to shoot his team out of a playoff spot. Plus, Westbrook can't use the FT excuse since he flops his way to a bunch of FTs as well. Not only do I want to see the Thunder miss the playoffs because I'm a Pelicans fan, but also I don't wanna have to deal with Westbrook or that stupid fanbase while watching the playoffs.

fact

He is better than Westbrook.

[Raven]

He is better than Westbrook.

frankly, no he's not and it's not really close tbh. I do not care one bit about either of them or who's better or anything else, but you just saying one is better than the other and labeling that as a fact is kinda funny

What? You say in the same sentence that you don't care who is better and then laugh at the notion Harden is better. You do care.

[Malik Hairston]

^^Harden is much better than Westbrook, tbh, and I love Russ..

Although I have Harden as MVP, the talent on Curry's team is pretty overrated from a talent standpoint, tbh..Curry carries the Warriors' offense just as much as anybody else in the league..Thompson can score, but he has virtually no creating ability, and neither does anybody else on the team(Iguodala can pass, but he can't score)..

[Raven]

no, i laugh about him saying that his opinion is a fact based on him saying so and not based on him using actual proof. And no, i don't care.

Semens stop pls

or I'll tell my mom

Don't be a homer, both Harden and Curry are deserving. Neither fanbase really has the right to cry foul since neither player is really head and shoulders above the other.

[TDfan2007]

Harden and Curry have both been phenomenal, but I'd have to give it to Harden for doing it without Howard or a real offensive system. The fact that Houston is #2 in the loaded west is unbelievable. He's also improved his defense from atrocious to passable.

[TDfan2007]

Also, Westbrook and Davis deserve some mention, especially if they make the playoffs. Pelicans and thunder have dealt with injuries all year and remained compe ive in a western conference loaded with solid teams.

[DMC]

Too many people confuse raw unbridled slave passion with talent. Harden is talented, smooth talented, but RW is just a runaway locomotive. He's got skills, but most of his game relies heavily on his athleticism and that chip on his shoulder. MJ showed a quiet confidence, Russ shows a panicked hatred like fit.

[manufan10]

It's 1a. Curry 1b. Harden. Both guys are deserving of the MVP, IMO. I wouldn't be upset if either one of those guys won it.

I don't understand the Westbrook love some people had in the MVP race. They're barely holding on to the 8th seed, and Durant led the Thunder to a better record without Westbrook.

[HI-FI]

Semens is right about everyone celebrating when Harden left OKC. When Spurs got Sterned in another game 6 fiasco, I thought that was it for Duncan. Thankfully Bennett, Presti or the CBA changed everything.

[DMC]

Wow. Comparing teen peer pressure to a billion dollar industry full of power and agendas Lol. Just stop.

You just want to use hyperbole and get away with it.

1. Lebron isn't a GM, he doesn't make GM decisions.
2. Lebron could get an entire new team if he asked for it.
3. It's the "asking for it" part that makes him not the GM.

I would have said Curry is a lock last month, but I'm not sure anymore. Harden has been getting more publicity recently and there are more people realizing what he has done the entire season. That GSW game on Saturday when Curry had 11 pts and they still blew out the opponent hurt Curry. Getting the 2 seed would absolutely seal the award for Harden imo.

[GuerillaBlack]

no, i laugh about him saying that his opinion is a fact based on him saying so and not based on him using actual proof. And no, i don't care.

And what proof did you use?

[Jodelo]

Curry should win it.

Kawhi, you the real MVP.
