     Watching games, checking numbers, looking at past seasons and comparing everything… Ive concluded LeBron is the MVP this year. You have to respect what hes done. 

    Harden will get it. Rockets have the best record. Hes played amazing ball. His D has improved, no doubt.. its still terrible, but  its slightly better by the eye test.

    Still, LeBron has been better and is in my mind no doubt the best player in the world.. and i think his best landing spot is Philly. 

    Happy to take flak .Come at me.

     honestly, Harden deserves it, but I feel that IT cost Lebron this year’s MVP.. He played a really bad stretch when IT came back and the whole team had to adjust to him and it went downhill from there.. Then the trade happened which ends up great for the team.. 

    But let’s be real.. Harden is playing in Mike D’Antoni’s system with great shooters/defenders.. Let’s put Harden on the Cavs and Lebron on the Rockets and sees how that plays out and who wins MVP..

     I put LeBron back in my MVP race, well, because I wanted to.

    If they keep winning then LeBron will be in first place, and if Harden finishes in second place it will be a Co-MVP this year.

    Harden was the best guy up until January 1 and STILL the best player going into the All Star Break.

    So, I will give him the tie IF he can finish second and hold off Giannis, KD, and DeRozan for this "week".

    I will probably do the same thing next year — get my FINAL FIVE for the MVP by the All Star Break.  Give out some bonus points, and whoever is NUMBER ONE going into the break, only has to finish out the last stretch in the top TWO (to get a Co-MVP).  Otherwise, whoever of those five plays the best down the stretch wins the MVP award.

    At this point, I ACTUALLY wanna consider Ben Simmons or something.  Great year and has really helped the Sixers in the win column.

    I might slot him into "7th place" no matter what now.

    If I look back on last week and then this week coming up and Ben Simmons is NUMBER 1 (or tied with LeBron) I might have to go with an MV3 this year — Harden, LeBron, AND Ben Simmons.

     Lebron might end up the 4th seed behind a team led by a rookie…

    And why does everyone act like defense doesn’t matter for MVP

     For different stretches, this MIGHT actually be LeBron’s best year.

    If he DOESN’T get the award, if I were the other playoff teams I would watch out — LeBron is gonna be MAD.

     Side note – Sixers pumping the Cavs 75-43 or something 2mins left, 2Q, no Embiid

    LeBron goes to Philly and they will be a very hard team to beat for the rest of James’ career

     If the Sixers win out I am gonna give the MVP Award to Ben Simmons — or at least a tie.
