I, like many, think it would be a travesty if Westbrook didn't win mvp.

But I've heard several analysts & even a couple voters argue that Harden is deserving & put up just as good of numbers.

Thoughts?

Sucked when it mattered , I know it's not based on that alone

MVP doesn't also go to the best player in the season so great value on Harden imo

Kia NBA Most Valuable Player

The Finalists:
* James Harden, Houston Rockets
* Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio Spurs
* Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder

The Skinny: This looks to be one of the closest MVP races of all time. Westbrook had a historic season, leading the NBA in scoring (31.6 ppg) and adding 10.4 assists and 10.7 rebounds per game, making him the first player to average a triple-double for a season since Oscar Robertson in the 1961-62 season. But the Thunder (47-35) finished with a lesser record than Houston or San Antonio, and Westbrook’s triple-doubles may work against him in the eyes of some voters.
Harden had a career campaign, averaging 29.1 ppg along with a league-leading 11.2 assists per night. The Rockets finished 55-27, with Harden the hub of their high-powered offensive attack.
Kawhi Leonard might not be the most expressive player, but his game speaks for itself. Leonard averaged a career-high 25.5 points per game and was the best defender for the 61-21 Spurs.
