    Justin Termine - NBA Radio (had a vote last year) - announced yesterday during NBA Today radio show
    Jared Greenberg - Turner (had a vote last year, voted Harden last year as well) - announced today on Out of Bounds

    Article sounds as if he has a ballot this year, if so it's a vote for Harden.

    Good catch, @Buzzlite, on Tony Jones. That does seem like a legit ballot from Sagar Trika but I don't know who he is or why he would have an official vote.

    Thanks, @rantsolpuella13. It would be nice to see that online somewhere to be 100% certain but they were both voters last year.

    Just a heads up that I edited the OP to include TJones, Termine and Greenberg, @MacLovin.

    David Aldridge was weird about Harden during the MVP race last year. I respect him generally but we have to assume that he's going to vote for some bizarre narrative like Westbrook again, or Anthony Davis.

    The one small, but not insignificant advantage that Harden has is even if he doesn't get 1st place votes, he is a lock for 2nd place votes.

    That is not the case for Lebron, who competes against AD for 2nd place votes if the voters do not see him as a 1st pick.

    Thanks for the assist, I don't get to my computer much on weekends.

    The Aldridge thing is weird to me, too, as he revealed his vote early last year. Makes me think he's picking someone out of left field or something, maybe AD.

    This guy starts the article saying that “it’s an honor and should be taken seriously” and proceeds to put Lebron as MVP, Westbrook 1st Team over Lillard, and CP3/Curry off All NBA altogether.

    Reggie Miller said on the Dan Patrick Show he is "leaning" towards voting for Lebron.

    Crazy to think that Beadle (who can get it, every single day) has a vote, but Screamin A and Cowherd are left out?

    Colin Cowherd is a joke who should never have a vote. He self admittedly states he doesn't watch many NBA games. How the **** do you give someone like that a vote?

    What’s the logic behind media voting anyway?

    How the **** do you give someone like that his own nationally syndicated radio show?
