Fair enough! Seems pretty comparable then.

No, but reading comprehension is a thing. Carried his ass all the way to a FMVP and 1st place in MVP until literally 2 days ago :( I’m so hurt

LeBron, Kawhi, and Embiid are the favorites if their teams stay around where they are. I doubt any of the Nets players has a chance since it's not even clear who the MVP of the team is.

Didn’t Lebron win MVP with a prime Wade and Bosch right?. Harden is doing all this WITHOUT KD.


It was pretty clear Lebron was the best player on that team. When kd plays, you don’t know who the best on the nets is

Harden has played in 22 games of the Nets 34 games bro and he has literally been the best player or the most important in all of the 16 games wins. They’ve had since his arrival. He has been the most important reason why a 6-6 team when he arrived is now tje hottest team in the league. Not hard to understand

He has played a little over half of the possible games.

What? He's played in 28 games bud, how far into the season do you think we are? That you keep repeating this makes it hard to believe you're really clued into anything at all about James Harden.

Almost all of the 20 games he's played for the Nets.

Even if that’s true (it isn’t, kyrie and kd had games they were the best) that puts it at like 20/35 or something. And the rest he didn’t try and was pouting on the rox. In comparison to someone like embiid, I don’t know how u put him up there

It's true, you could point to games where the other two had better scoring numbers or such, but Harden's been the driver behind the offense the entire time.

And yeah, Harden doesn't have a better case than Embiid right now, but there's a lot of the season left to play and the trajectory Harden and the Nets are on makes the complete dismissal of Harden as a candidate in favor of players likely to end the season on worse teams a bit much. The NBA MVP goes to the best player on one of the top teams in the league, Harden is likely going to end up one of the top 3 or 4 candidates just based on that alone.

I knew said he is above Embiid I was stating how stupid it is to say he has no chance when all evidence suggests he is now well and truly in the mix.

Out of those 16 wins 8 were without KD and 3 were without Kyrie bro. Harden has virtually been the best/ most important player maybe except two of those games.

It's Embiid's award to lose at this point.

But why would u ignore the losses? As well as all his games from Houston ( which is far from an insignificant number?

So you only the ignore losses for Embiid and other candidates but when it comes to harden the losses count? Since the Nets for harden they have the best or the second best record in the east and top 4 in the nba. His team has 1 less loss then Embiid.

Harden has too many narratives against him to win it. He tanked in Houston and will be playing next to 2 superstars which will hurt him also.

The idea that Lebron is ahead of everyone is both laughable and more importantly, very very stupid.

Schroeder 6-1 without Davis. Thats mvp.


For real though that wizards loss was very costly for lebron. Win that and the skys not falling so much. But they did so that 4 game skid drops him a bit.
