Would Kyrie winning MVP over Harden be a travesty?

fun fact: those were the same 4th qtr numbers by the 2015 mvp js

 

What? You are telling me that Curry's numbers were worse than Harden's numbers that year because his team was blowing teams out and that should matter in the MVP race? I mean, I remember hearing that in 2015 but I guess that doesn't matter now.

it's 2017-18 and we are going by clutch time points this year.

 

Have you guys realized how awful Harden is this year in garbage time? Man, he has been playing really bad in the 4th quarters, but this game since the entire second half is garbage time, he was completely M.I.A in the 3rd quarter, where he used to lead the NBA in scoring. Doesn't this guy know how to pad his stats? Didn't he how Westbrook played until the last minute in tonight's game in garbage time trying to get an assist for triple double?

 

Has anybody noticed now that the celtics have lost you can' find one thing about them on ESPN. Just a small article that they lost. Not 1 game photo on Instagram. But when they beat the mavericks they were everywhere. I damn near had to scroll for minutes before I found something that wasn' saying Celtics, or kyrie...My god Victor Olidipo has better stats

 

The Kyrie Irving narrative isn't even normal for the nba, this is up in that Trump level,

 

Harden is still #1 on NBA.com’s MVP ladder

“While relative newcomers like Kyrie Irving and Giannis Antetokounmpo have garnered much of the early season MVP buzz, Harden has somewhat quietly gone about the business of maintaining his status as arguably the most unstoppable offensive force in the league. And he’s done nothing but bolster his case for the No. 1 spot on this list for a Rockets team that is 9-1 in its last 10 games, tied with Irving’s Celtics for the best mark in the league. Now that Chris Paul appears to be healthy and back in a groove, Harden might not have to shoulder as much of the responsibility of driving the Rockets as he has previously. His 21 points in Wednesday’s rout of the Denver Nuggets was his lowest scoring outing this month. His 32 minutes against the Nuggets marked just the third time all season he’s logged fewer than 33 minutes in a game. And he’ll get an extra day of rest in advance of Saturday’s visit from the New York Knicks.”

Kyrie is 2, Bron is 3, Steph is 4, and Embiid is 5

the Giannis hype has really died down

 

The fact that Kyrie is #2 is frightening. He should not be #2.

 

All narrative. I told you before, face and heel. Face and heel. NBA loves stories.

The BIGGEST story going into the season was, how would Kyrie do on his "own" team?(Granted he has 2 other all-stars at the time and a top 5 coach), but it's narrative here. He has face appeal.

If you think it's just about winning and having great stats, you're a year old brah.

Harden really should get MVP this year, if he keeps this up. 30/8 with Paul(is a must), play 75 games + is a must, 32/12 without Paul, top 4 record in NBA, top 2 west. He should be a 3-time MVP, honestly.

It's not really frightening. Once you accept that there's no way Harden out-narratives other candidates, it's all good.

Chris Paul is back, so the media will declare that Harden has more help than anybody else, and he will lose. We've seen this story before. Harden is not going to be voted MVP, because he is simply not a media darling. It is what it is.

 

Would Kyrie winning MVP over Harden be a travesty? -
"Umm, YES. Close thread and move on."

 

That is literally the dumbest thing I’ve read in my life. And I’ve read some dumb ****!

 

I didn’t find it even remotely funny, but you quoted an obviously facetious attempt at humor

 

I thought so too at first then he posted this nonsense:

I think Horford might be the best player on the Celtics

 

Kyrie with another amazing game: 18 points on 6-16 shooting, 9 assists, 6 turnovers, and a game worst -21

the stupid media will eventually come to their senses and realize that his stats are a joke for an MVP winner

Bron is the biggest threat now...his stats are insane and the Cavs are winning

Giannis barely even gets talked about these days, his team is too mediocre

 

I went to look for stats leaders for Harden and Kyrie. Here is what I found.

Agreed, i wonder why suddenly team record is important again after it was two seasons ago (Curry MVP) but didn't count **** last season...****ing lol.

 

The media will spend 1000 man hours on the 25 words Trump puts on social media while he takes a dump

 

There is no way you can't give the MVP to Harden.

No one is even close to Harden this year. NO ONE

IT'S A LOCK. HARDEN for MVP. HE will not get robbed 3 times!! NO WAY
