Emotional speech from the Greek Freak. Did he deserve it?

I'll guess this won't be his last MVP award.

Will this MVP help erase the 4 straight games lost in the playoffs?

I kid. Relax.

Not really.

Meh. It's the regular season.

You think Harden is on the same level as Bird and Magic?

No. But he is special, as much as I don’t enjoy certain aspects of his game. He has a lot of time left in his career too.

My point is just that 4 MVPs is at their level, pushing for GOAT status.

Giannis impacts the game more than Harden. He earned the MVP this season, and I expect him to continue to improve.

I think based on the history of the NBA voting, Giannis is the right call. Brutally close MVP race and anyone adamant that giannis or harden should have won, is wrong. This is a super close race.

Eh this really should have been done after the regular season. It's probably deserved for Giannis, but at the same time it's hard to take it seriously now after seeing him get exposed in the playoffs as not quite at the level of the very. very best, at least for now.

That's true. Someone like Kawhi, for example would never leave his team hanging in the playoffs

It should have been closer. The votes are one sided. If team success is so important then Harden should have won it over WB. If raw numbers are important then he should have won this year. Somehow he managed to lose both.
