    Westbrook got the first ever perfect shooting triple double earlier this year. And now has the highest scoring triple double ever. He's also most likely about to break the record for most triple doubles in a single season. But some people say James harden is the MVP

    Harden and Westbrook are both very deserving, people acting like Westbrook is the clear winner are just being biased cuz they like him more...which is fine I do too. But nothing wrong with Harden getting it this year, which I think he will.

    Harden doesn't play much defense. By default he can't be MVP in my mind

    Well then Kawhi is your MVP I assume cuz Westbrook doesn't play much either..

    Harden's D has actually improved a bit this year though.

    I wouldn't mind Kawhi winning MVP. He deserves it more than Harden for sure, although I agree that Harden's defense has improved a bit this year, just not enough for me to give him the pass for MVP.

    Personally my list goes:
    Russ
    LBJ
    Kawhi
    Harden

    LBJ and Kawhi can be swapped, it's very close imo

    I think Westbrook is the most deserving for MVP. I saw a lot of "analysts" say that both Harden & Westbrook are carrying bad teams, but it's pretty absurd. The NBA now has a lot to do with ball movement & shooting, and the Thunder don't have players that can do either. The team Harden has is much better than the team Westbrook has. If Westbrook can get the 5th seed I think he gets it, but if not then I think the media will give it to Harden, just based off of tradition. I still remember when Kobe was going off scoring 31 & 35 a season but a player on a team that doesn't win, or doesn't win enough just doesn't get much MVP consideration (usually).

    Stats are almost identical, the tie breaker is either Harden's wins or how sorry you feel about Russ' squad.

    OKC roster def worse than HOU but not by much. Dipo/Adams/Kanter really aren't that bad of role players.
