It's ET  

They're doing the MVP kinda weird this year. All the awards will be announced after the Finals, which makes it a bit pointless since no one is going to care about MVP after the Finals.

I am still unsure as to how far MVP voting goes into the season. I mean if it is just a regular season award it might go to Westbrook or Harden. I would prefer if thats the case that it goes to Westbrook to stick it to Baby Boy Durant and because James Harden was high on pot in his elimination game in the Spurs series. The newest catch phrase in the NBA on the radio now is that when a super star doesn't show up in a big game he went into a "James Harden coma".

If Kobe didn't get it in 2006 for his amazing play, I don't see where Westbrook gets it. 

Harden is overrated. Beyond his poor performance in the playoffs, he was a turnover machine this year and he set records twice for most turnovers in games. 

He and Westbrook are both overrated.

Westbrook is the Aaron Rodgers of the NBA; pretty stats, but not a clutch player and loses often with amazing crazy stats. Westbrook actually ranks average when you break down efficiency stats. The only reason his point averages are so high is because he is a ball hog that takes 30+ shots a game. His rebound stats are inflated cause the Thunder allowed him to take every rebound from missed free throws (this counts). It's no different than Aaron Rodgers taking sacks and throwing out of bounds to protect his precious TD/INT ratio record; and they both are playoff chokers with that in common. 

I don't think Westbrook is going to get it though cause in the NBA, they don't value MVP with stats like they do in the NFL. Matt Ryan last year won the MVP based solely on stats for example, rather than wins. 

The case can be made for LeBron; he had a career high, 12 triple doubles and he also had his most effecient shooting season of his career. LeBron averages 19 shots a game and was scoring around 25-27 points on an average night. This was LeBron's best season since 2012-2013 where he no doubt was MVP and most consider that to be the best year of his career. 

If LeBron don't get MVP, it will be another "anyone but LeBron" type situation like when they chose Curry last year or Derrick Rose in 2011; both of whom looked like a joke head to head vs LeBron in the playoffs those years. 

How the hell Boston gonna stop LeBron? He's massacring them tonight. 

IT is such a trash talker, running his mouth at TT and Kyrie meanwhile. YOU'RE DOWN BY 30 POINTS AND GOING TO LOSE!!!
