DurtyHarry2029 personally i don’t agree bc if it wasn’t for Giannas the east mvp would be pretty weak and completely overshadowed by harden and at the same time take away the greatness of what the award meant for harden to get. However, I agree clearly isn’t the right word but it should still be obvious enough to pick gainnas once you look at everything. They should add an offensive player of the year because to many people only vote on mvp based off PPG just like those people who believe Kobe deserved every mvp over Nash.

The teams in the west that you thought weren't going to make the playoffs, made the playoffs, and the teams you thought were gonna make the playoffs, didn't make the playoffs. Remember, nobody thought the clippers and trail blazers were gonna make the playoffs.

he shoots 30 times a night to get those points and the refs definitely give him A LOT OF BS foul calls. A good chunk of his point come from FT line (he leads the league in FT's and by a lot too) and he's not the best defender. For me, MVP means whos the player that is the most valuable TO ANY TEAM in the league aka whos the player that could go to any team and immediately make that team a contender/improve their team the most. In terms of who's the most valuable to their respective team, yea its most definitely harden b/c of the rockets system which is built completely around him having the ball in his hands as much as possible. However, if Harden were to play in another system/on another team he would not be putting up these numbers AT ALL, not even close and I dont think he'd even be in the conversation of MVP if he was on another team. Giannis could go to any team and would put up the same numbers he's getting now and lead them to wins. His play style works in any system. If there was a draft RN I think every GM would try to draft Giannis before Harden to start their team which is why he is my MVP. I still won't be mad if Harden gets it though, hes been playing his mind out all year and it would still be well deserving if he wins it. Rockets and Bucks play tonight, I think the outcome of this game will make it more clear who's gunna be the MVP. If Harden can put up big numbers tonight and WIN than I might have to change my mind and say Harden should get it.

HARDEN MVP PERIOD🚀

[@BDBGP]

I'm going w/ Greek cause 2-way ball playing domination on both ends is way more important in my eyes than someone whose simply just an all around offensive player. I'm not really a J.H. fan like that cause his game is kinda basic & boring in my opinion. Also, it's funny how he puts up all these stats during the regular season but always chokes during the post. Harden isn't doing anything special from any other offensive player out there. D. Booker is constantly dropping 50+ but we hardly ever talk about him. Greek deserves it this yr. w/o question.

[@d21.]

Big Daddy Beard Gaming Promotions I agree, Klay is also better than Steph because Klay dominates on both ends and that’s more important that an offensive superstar like Steph

[@AleksandarGospic]

Chris Broussard hit the nail on the head. Completely agree with his argument and I like he brought up the 11-14 hole Houston was in in which James was a part of, which is over a quarter of the season. For his consistent greatness throughout the entire season and the fact his team is doing significantly better without an overwhelmingly talented supporting cast, Giannis deserves the nod.

[@FasoESO]

chris broussard lowkey the goat

[@everythingez6595]

Chris is 100% right!!! They’re only focusing on what he does offensively instead of factoring in everything that is needed in team success which is what Giannis is doing . Just because you’re a great scorer doesn’t mean you’re the most valuable

[@PONYOSKITTIE]

MVP - should be the most valuable player in all aspects of the game offence/ defence making players around you better players.

[@dulogmaz]

If you factor in efficiency, Giannis is the definitive favorite. 58%>44%. A 14% differential is much, MUCH bigger than you think. If Giannis misses his next 387 shots, he will have the same shooting percentage as Harden. Think about that.

[@ryancox7577]

Dulo Ciskela literally 90% of his shots are either right under or right beside the basket. His percentages are expected to be higher. When you’re the facilitator of the offense, your efficiency is going to be lower because you ALWAYS have the ball in your hands, everything starts or ends with you each time down the court.

[@tigerhoods7927]

D!ck Harper harden is second in steals. This narrative is so outdated lol harden is dominant every night In a way that Giannis can’t be yet

[@cbenji07]

Defense rating is affected by team rankings. Bucks are 1st in defensive rating. Rockets are 21st. But Harden has the best defensive rating on his team that struggle defensively (mainly because they've been undersized for most of season and give up so many rebounds)

[@1987benhur]

@@nickmathiason2917 Chris just gave u the stats bro Giannis is 2nd in def rating and harden was 60 something, so while harden is killing fools on off u cant really argue hes doing the same in def like the freak is doing. Steals cant really measure ur impact on def bc of lose balls or tipped passes that he can get his hands on and those steals arent coming from him pressuring a guy and taking it away from them.

[@1987benhur]

@@cbenji07 And Giannis has been one of the most important pieces in getting the bucks to being the best def team in the NBA whils harden doesnt have that in his game, therefore U saying Giannis couldnt be as dominant as harden is a falacy bc he impacts both ends on the floor at an elite level

The only thing I really disagree with him about is him saying Lebron is the 2nd best player in the of all time. Lebron is closer to 10th not saying 10th but in the lower area of 10th. I have: 1. Jordan 2. kareem 3. Magic 4. Duncan 5. Hakeem 6. Shag 7. Kobe 8. Lebron 9. Bird 10. Wilt The reason why I have Wilt and Bill Russel (11th) at the bottom is because the level of competition in their era. Kareem gets a pass because he won at every level, had an unstoppable move and is the all time leading scorer by a mile.

“If James harden doesn’t score those 30 or more, they losin” pretty much sums it up. He is dominating statistically and his team has needed every bit of it and is now poised to be a serious contender. Giannis is great, but he can’t come close to what harden has done this year. Kobe, mike, and wilt is the company he is in. Giannis is having an MVP season, but hardens is historic

Delonte West they played well without him that game, yes, and I was very happy about it. but if you really think the rockets play better without harden on the floor as a whole you are crazy. Just look at the holes they got into yesterday when he was off the floor. Look at the wide open threes he set up that we’re getting bricked or airballed by Gordon and tucker.
