His face when he realizes that he's still not the favorite for MVP.... Unless they have a co-mvp either Harden or Westbrook is getting robbed.
This card does make me a bit sad though. I'll never be able to afford it unless I sell my sister to the black market.
How old is she

jesus christ. I never seen so many pedos on one site.
we just joking
why is there dots on top of the comments
he deleted his comment
I didn't delete anything.
oh, i thought he was talking about the top comment lol (yesterday i was a bit asleep sorry)
?
idk i just see dots beside the comments
I think what you are seeing are called "periods". They end a sentence.
Aren't periods part of a female's menstruatual cycle
It's a joke
no its beside there names dumbass
Why do pedo jokes get 13 upvotes on this site
The sad thing about this card is that it has better rebounding, then some diamond centers.
I have a bag of earthworms and a George Bush cut out you can have one of them.
You don't have a sister

yea but we need a black market
I got SO lucky and I pulled him from a random single league pack my FIRST TRY.. I was trippin hahaha
[Deleted]
I've got about 950k, but waiting on that MJ and Big 0, now might pull MJ and this Goatbrook...
Show 4 replies...This card might honestly go above 800k. Its so op, the stats are insane, the rebounding and defense along with the sheer offensive firepower make this the best all around card I've seen besides the diamond porzingis.
Big O? He has better rebounding, shooting, defense, passing, driving (not dunks) and post moves. Idk what meds ur on but please call your doctor today.
You should compare this card to the 98 ovr Big O. They are similar with subtle differences. You should get the one that best fits your playing style.
Show 2 replies...They aren't similar at all Russell is way more athletic and has the ability to take it to the rack with intensity, why The Big O is scared to break the peach basket. Plus Russells release is smoother in my opinion.
You just named like three things. Like I said for the most part they are similar. Go with whomever fits your style better.
no jwall??????41 points 8 assists 7 rebs 3 steals while shooting 70 percent!!!
idk why 2K hates wall
Show 2 replies...i think 2k is saving wall to be the extra diamond card when the wizards packs come out
Show 6 replies...Nigga your retarded. Boi fuck you mean wizards pack hoe. Those are only historic like yo mama pussy.
the extra card dumbass, the other historic packs came with extra diamonds like paul george and marc gasol etc
aye are you special ed fam. John wall isn't fucking historic. What level of retard do you have to be. this is his like 6th or 7th year in the nba
When you realize 2k won't drop a PD moments in the regular season
It's because PD's are exclusively rewards from locker codes or collections.
Show 2 replies...[Deleted]
Show 10 replies...0-4 vs the Warriors this season with 33 combined turnovers.
So you are saying that just because a team got swept by another team this season, that they have 0% chance of winning a single game in the post season against that team?
So you are saying because he got a 50 point triple double against one the worst teams in the league he will do it against the best in the playoffs?
2K YALL FUCKING HATE JOHN WALL SMH FUCK OUTTA HERE
mad up westbrook this MVP race is lit af
John wall scored 41 points. Westbrooks 98 overall card minus 41=57. Wall also had 7 rebounds and 8 assists and if we take this away from 57 we get 42. Minus how many threes he made that's 41, exactly what wall scored. Coincidence? I think not. But that's not it. If you take away from 57 (what russel westbrook scored) the difference by which okc won (8) and wizards lost (9) you would get 40. John wall was a minus minus 9 in his game so we should subtract that. 40 minus 9 equals 31. The wariors blew a 3:1 lead in the nba finals. Illuminati confirmed.
Show 6 replies...This only leads me more to believe that his 95 or 96 diamond version is coming out for next event/TBT set with Wizards?
Show 3 replies...c.j mccollum should get a ruby and j.j redick should get a sapphire maybe or emerald
He will get an event diamond on Thursday. They've clearly been snubbing him like they did with PG before he got his diamond and I can't think of anyone thats in the game that could be wizards diamond. Unseld Arenas and Jamison arent in the game and MJ just got his diamond.
Show 1 reply...My son would've scored 58 - Lavar Ball
Hold up- there are two t's in your name. They look like 1's which equals 11. 11+58=69

Should be higher
ikr but if they increase that attributes they would get a PD

He has 94 defense and a 95 open three and you're pointing out things that are too low

Well that's pretty retarded
This card is litterally every Archetype in the game. Sharp, playmaker, shot creator, lockdown, slasher, hell, hes even a glass cleaner
Post Scorer?

57 points
13 rebounds
11 assists
Multiple clutch baskets
MVP
Two 50 point triple doubles and just clinched the third seed for his rockets.
MVP
Yeah, um... the rockets have a better supporting cast than okc and westbrook has 4 50 point trip dubs, as well as 42 triple doubles.
MVP
I mean, Russ has 4 50pt TD's now, but I don't really care who wins. They both deserve it.
Don't get me wrong both are beasts but. Is the MVP should me the better player of the better team?
Show 6 replies...Best player of the best team*?
In that case Kevin Durant would win it, but it wwont happen.
U should get 2 diamonds
93-95 and then 96-98 before getting pink diamond
This would mean more moments and less missed moments
Upvote if you think he is MVP
He's not MVP and don't fucking ask for upvotes

Damn is your life this website, i havent been on for three weeks i just got back on
I'm expressing my opinion, if you don't like it ignore it
Don't say "upvote if you think". Just fucking say u think he's MVP.

Q: What does Russell Westbrook eat?
A: A triple-double crunchwrap from Taco Bell
2K sure knows how to make me wanna go broke but it's too late cause I already am lmao
Gotta feel for this guy. He was betrayed by one of his best friends, his teammate of 8 years. All that, and he was ditched for the team that beat them. Westbrook is that one guy whose friends keep taking favors from him and then proceeding to spit in his face.
Most insiders & whatever said that KD and Russ didn't get along even when they were together lol
Show 2 replies...They weren't best friends, true. They were more like coworkers, but I still feel like Westbrook respected and trusted Durant as both a player and person. You could see it in how willing he was to defer to Durant, and just his usual treatment of him.
Clearly didn't watch much when they were both in OKC... If Westbrook knew how to defer to KD he would still be in OKC...
[Deleted]
This right here is pure greatness. Now before anyone comments anything like "He's stat padding" or "He's overrated," I'll say you were alive when Big O made history with 41 trip dubs. If you're saying Russ is stat padding, try telling me Big O was stat padding. Try telling me Wilt was stat padding. Try telling me Bird was stat padding. And if you do, I will slap you through your computer screen. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to appreciate what Russ is doing. Don't pass it up. Who was alive when Big O made history? Exactly. Don't hate on greatness.
welp another $100 down the drain
and you still wont pull him! I spent 450k when the vc sale was on for devin booker and pull 1 amethyst that i already had lol
Show 3 replies...That Devin booker is so cheap now, I wanted the tmac 97 but I'll have to sell my soul to Satan
Most points in a triple-double...
true but stil... Harden>Westbrook

thanks harden deserves this card too but it seems like ronnie and him beefin.
The face you get when you find out she has a dick
R.I.P all star westbrook
@numbers58 you gotta be flipping rn
Well deserved Westbrook, I don't know who to support in the MVP race!
is he in packs yet?
Harden does this twice and only gets a 94?
Harden had too many turnovers and a very low FG% in those games.
Show 1 reply...
In hardens 50 point triple double vs philly he was both more efficient and had less turnovers. In his 50 point triple double vs the knicks he was more efficient with 1 more turnover than Westbrooks game.
So a very low FG%=over 55%? or is that just when u hate on harden?
Hold up He already has a Diamond Moments card. They trying everything not to give out PD players. Also, no John Wall Moments card?
rip everyone who just bought oscar
Although I really want Russ to win MVP, it won't happen. Although he is the best single player in the NBA, the NBA also accounts his team's record. Although I don't agree with the rules, its the truth. I really wish he could win but he won't.
its most valuable PLAYER not most valuable team this shit is annoying
Show 3 replies...The team record has a huge effect and rightly so. There's no point in giving MVP to a player that's team won't make it past the second/first round
He is FAR from the best player in the league lmfao
Show 5 replies...That's arguable.
He's top 5 but I don't think there's any way you could logically call him the best player in the world.
There's many amazing players this year like Russ, Harden, Lebron, Isaiah Thomas. It's just what I think, I think Russ is the best single player in the world.
I just saw one on xbox with 5 HoF badges instead of 4, it had an extra HoF flashy passer...
2K needs to drop a pink diamond locker code for his record breaking season. I know people hate locker codes but they need to respect this dude for breaking the triple double record.
I wonder wht the pink diamond would look like. i mean how could the card get any better 99 on all stats? every hall of fame badge?
On the 12th day of Christmas, Russell Westbrook gave to me
12 delicious dimes
11 difficult boards
10 ankle breakers
9 made field goals
8 franchise records
7 consecutive triple doubles
6 flashy passes
5 POSTER DUNKS
4 All NBA second teams
3 game winners
2 steals
and a monster block on KD
Best card out there, still sad that his brother left him stranded with strangers
I like how the most votes for a card is Russell Westbrook but on the otherhand the least votes is KD lmao xD
Blue balls currently, wish it was a PD
open shot 3 95 nice is first card was like a 60 something he hit that crazy shot last night
Really?! Not even Pink Diamond? Oh 2K!!!!!
I can't believe anybody would do it russell westbrook is the closest to a pink diamond and maybe we might get a diamond Lebron James!!
WOAH! Westbrook is one of the best players in the league! This card is going to be a GOD! I need this!

Show 2 replies...I'm not sure where I saw this card before... Oh I know http://2kmtcentral.com/17/players/20419/oscar-robertson
I want co mvp how about yous
I was at that game yesterday and when he put up 57 point I knew he would get a diamond card and here I am today look at a Diamond card.
Well crap I missed him. ;( now I won't get upvotes
he will get a guaranteed PD, and when he does, it will be so pointless because this came out lol
This card is the new GOAT ( im not saying hes the best just saying hes a goat )
The only thing this card is better at than Oscar is his driving dunk. Besides that. Oscar is the man.
This card is going to be good, but so is Oscar. Only good thing about this is that Oscar's price will dip for a little bit.
the face u make when u realize that 2k wont give u a 99 moments card even when u alreay have a diamond moments card so they give
u a 98 instead
After his game yesterday I'm sitting on a world of confidence. I've heard a lot of people say that Westbrook should win MVP if he leads the Thunder to the 4th seed, and that's still not out of the question. Ither than the Spurs and the Grizzlies, it'll be an upset for the Thunder to lose their games whilst the Clippers and the Jazz still have the toughest part of their schedules ahead of them. A storm is brewing, and can Westbrook write his fairy tale in the playoffs?
I think Harden will get MVP. Looking at all his stats, he has the edge is just about everything except rebounds. And hes beaten westrbook 4 of the 5 outings this year.
yes because the nba is a 1on1 tournament? rickets are a better team if westbrook has an of night they lose also harden averaged less points and rebounds so how exactly does he deserve it?
4 out of 5????
Show 1 reply...You know at least it's an actual upgrade from his other diamond unlike some other cards (every moments upgrade)
everyone is saying how overrated he is, but the dude is making HISTORY
Before the season started:
"I'll become Famous before Westbrook becomes a 3 point shooter"
Now:
Crap
Holy shit, my DREAM has come true! MY BOY RUSSSSSS, but seriously I might spend all of my allowance this week to buy VC to buy the Gamebreakers and this man right here, or maybe I'll pull him. BUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THANK YOU 2k. Although I gotta admit, 98 is way too much, if Russ gets it, Harden's 50pt trip-dub card needs and upgrade.
I already had so much fun using the all-star one, now shit bout to get lit!!!
That card is an old photo. He only has 1 sleeve where now he doesn't, he has 2 on each side.
Russell Westbrook 98 card: ONLY 7 STATS UNDER 80 (not including Intangibles)
Tim Duncan 99 card: 9 stats under 80
THIS CARD UP THERE ^ SHOULD BE A PINK DIAMOND
Sniped this card yesterday... Best card in the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmElXZyN-fU
devin booker drops 70 gets a 97 overall card
russell westbrook drops 53 points gets a 98 overall card
keep thinking 2K
There has to be a ball hog hall of fame badge for Westbrook. Fight for rebounds, take all the shots, pass button is disabled unless someone is open, LOL
exactly lol the okc centers will move out the way and let him get rebounds cuz they know he'll get them traded if they don't
You're dumb as shit, how is he a ball hog if he averages 10 assists a game? He takes about 20 shots a game, just like every other point guard. Just saying...
I thought Russ had a good post fade. He usually posts up smaller guards doesnt he?
Pink diamond incoming, 42nd triple double, averaging a triple double and and got a game winning 3 against the Nuggets
He wont get it because if he wins mvp then he will get pink diamond. If they have it to him now what will he get when he wins mvp? I want it too but they wont do it
Show 1 reply...Wow no 99 for making history...
Guys, take a look at my lineup: http://2kmtcentral.com/17/lineups/279014/anaheim-kydreamteam
I didn't think he get a moments card. Fuck I'm losing out on a lot of MT not selling the All Star Diamond.
I was thinking about it too...but to be honest they're not all that different, slightly better mid-range and just better defense.
Show 2 replies...
What if, in the last game of the season, Russell drops like 75+ points, and 20+ assists and rebounds with 5+ steals and blocks. Would he get a 99 PD if that
happened????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
That's such a headass thing to think he'd drop. There's no universe he would drop 75 point triple double with 20 assists and rebounds. Hop off his nut.
Show 3 replies...nigga i was just saying, did any of yall think anyone would drop 70 points this seasons, im just saying that if he really wanted to to he might be able to drop a 60+ point triple double in a playoff series.........just sayin and im not even a westbrook rider bruh
When you realize you scored 59 points and you didn't get. A moments and then you do bit it should be a PD 99 ovr
Russ is still MVP because harden has a way better team with better shooters and Westbrook doesn't have as many pieces as harden and the rockets to be able to win all the games. If he averages a triple double and breaks big O's record for most triple doubles in a season he deserves MVP
Before the season no one predicted Harden would have this team in this position... & his numbers are very similar to Westbrooks while winning 50 plus games with no allstars as well...
True dat. Okc best three point shooter is victor oladipo (according to black9) so you know its more impresive what westbeast is doing
Hate how very much westbrook is a terrific player,he womt get it because his teams record isnt where its supposed to be....i mean, you'd think avergaing a trip dub (doing everything) would mean u have the best record ever...but not, stat padding at it s finest
Dumbest comment of 2017 so far. Thunder would be a lottery team without him
Show 1 reply...Watch in awe as the MVP trophy goes to a co-mvp
OMFG I JUST PULLED HIM SHOULD I SELL HIM OR KEEP HIM I DON'T REALLY Play 2k so idk how much he goes for
Wait i have a question what if westbrook just randomly drops 70 tommorow what 2K does
PD locker only 6 people will get
fav if late already
Shit just missed it
they gonna start giving him upgrades in 2k18 at this rate
Your name is GOAT
true or your name is brodi
Yeah so.....
I mean it's great
Who's hype for the PD whose gonna come out later today for breaking the record.
Nope
James harden
[Deleted]
Why tf did i just check Twitter to see if it actually dropped
lol that's sad
w
They wont give him a card.I'm surprised 2k gave him this card, they are too stingy to give him a 99. He won't get a new one.
...this is a 99
Well, I'm here from the future to inform you...
http://2kmtcentral.com/17/players/20623/russell-westbrook
but thats what makes this system so confusing
2K ignores real moments are pick the most random one unless its to big to ignore
Like how John Wall still doesn't have an amethyst
he had like 3 potential moments
AND IM STILL PISSED
Or Steven Adams, pretty sure he's gotten his career high twice this year and his free throw is so much better yet he's still a silver
Adams should be a high flyer. I think he should replace Andre Drummond in the High Flyers Collection. Adams is actually an underrated dunker
[Deleted]
how bout if he has another moment
[Deleted]
98 1/2 lmao
they release his 95 for a day again
The same that they do with John Wall. Every. *********. Night
He might be the wizards event card which sucks like Gasol and George because they are still both in their current team.
Ikr
They upgrade diamond hardens rebounding
for real?
Smoke crack, do nothing...
pull the trigger
and if he doesn't, what happens when he wins MVP???
This:
http://2kmtcentral.com/17/players/20623/russell-westbrook
Well, he didn't drop 70, but close enough. I guess we'll find out tommorow
Still no wall amy tho
Wall is getting a diamond with the wizards throwback set
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYA1g4eitMI
Nope.
when tho
Next thursday
not quite
He literally had 3 moments card worthy performances in the past month.
This game is sometimes a joke
I WAS SOOO MAD WHEN HE BEAT THE CAVS WITH LIKE 40 POINTS AND 11 ASSISTS AND DIDNT GET ONE LIKE GOSH
no, it always is a joke
Everytime 2k misses a performance im taking a shot of bleach.
Its getting dizzy right now.
They can't give him a moment for everyone of his good performances or else he would have like 100 moment cards.
true
Kawhi also made 100th game with double digit.
2k doesn't give out cards for milestones, for example dirk scoring 30K
right
There should be a 99 pink diamond card or something but 2k is messed up
...this is a 99 dude.
if he would have scored 60 or more maybe he would have been close to getting a 99
Yeah but 2k don't give those cards out. They're too lazy
That face when you average a triple double and you don't start the all star because of curry fans
Westbrook>Curry
Westbrook easily getting MVP
honestly the nba should do co-mvps this year
there's no doubt russell SHOULD get the mvp to himself by a mile but all the fans are GAY
We need a co-MVP. This race is too legendary to just give it to one of them
No.
Nah, co-MVP would take away from the award
lol nice comment bud
Little did we know, Russ just stepped on a lego.
You look the type of person to bandwagon him when he do
Nah that's his happy face
Where is 99 OVR Westbrook!?!?
Or just that natural Westbrook glow...
dumbest comment, westbrook isnt even top 4 mvp imo
take this L kind sir
harden, kawhi, lebron, IT are all more deserving
How
Harden has a much better team and is mostly a one sided player
LeBron has been below average this year. He has failed to lead a stacked team and has wined about not having a playmaker when he should just deal with it.
Now I do like kawhi. He would be the closest in my opinion to be next to Westbrook. His D fence is some of the best in the league.this jumperhas become very good as well.
But if kawhi was gonna win it they would need to get the 1st seed and he would need to drop some huge games
Westbrook is my favorite because he is literally being team single handed. He might get two many turnovers but he is trying to do it all out there. His attitude is good where he can have fun and not get mad when he misses a shot.also he is doing a small this called avg a triple double.
Harden - Stats wise harden is putting up just as impressive, if not more impressive numbers. Also keep in mind Westbrook has by far the highest usage rate in the NBA so that helps with his stats. We all knew and expected that after Durant left that Westbrook would take over and probably average a triple double so although it is very impressive to have his numbers, it was kinda expected. Both OKC and Houston have similar ability teams and harden has brought his team to a much better team record by making his teammates better and trusting them which Westbrook doesn't do. At the start of the season I was not expecting anything from Houston and thought they would barely even make the playoffs and maybe not even make them, harden has lead his team to an extremely surprising and impressive team record. On the other hand I expected OKC to finish around 4th but instead have been 7th for most of the season (higher I think now but not as high as I was expecting), quite disappointing. Also not to mention westbrooks 3pt% is trash especially for a MVP candidate.
Leonard - half of a basketball game is defense and Leonard is one of and if not the best defender in the NBA. Compared to Westbrook who is not exactly defensively talented but due to his speed and quickness I would say he is a good defender but just nowhere near as good as Kawhi. On the other end Kawhi is averaging a career high 26 and leading his Spurs to be 2nd in the west only behind golden state ( a much much better team record than OKC). Has a huge impact on the game and is a threat on both ends of the court. Also he is way more efficient than Westbrook and shoots a much higher fg% and has less turnovers.
LBJ - averaging a career high in assists and rebounds while still putting up heaps of points (approx 26/8/9) just shy of averaging a triple double, but yet in total he has much less triple doubles than Westbrook. Coz he isn't worrying about getting 10 of each stat and each one of those stats are much more important than westbrooks. Eg grabbing a clutch offensive rebound is better than stealing a wide open defensive rebound from your own center. The main thing that seperates Lebron from Westbrook and the rest of 95% of the players in the NBA is his unique ability to make his teammates better. He has great trust in his teammates and has much higher bball iq which has consequentially resulted in a better team record than OKC. Also Lebron has put a lot of effort into improving his jump shot and 3pointer to an impressive 39% from 3 while Westbrook has failed to have a consistent 3 ball and has not improved in that area and remains a below average 3 point shooter while Lebron has put the effort in to improve it. Also as said Lebron is more efficient and has a higher fg% and less turnovers and another point is that he is a slightly better defender imo. Lebron is always in contention for MVP and this year is no different.
Thomas - 5'9 and had his doubters including me that he is a real star in this league. Has proven me and the world wrong and has stepped up to be the 2nd leading scorer in the NBA and has become a superstar carrying his overrated team to the 1st seed in the eastern conference! ( I say overrated team because the team around him isn't as good as people think and IT has no real 2nd scoring option with horford at 14ppg and Bradley at 16ppg) making his position and role on the team similar to westbrooks as he has to carry the offense. But the little man has carried his team to the 1st seed ahead of the star studded cavs while russ is in the lower playoff spots. As with other MVP candidates IT is a lot more efficient than Westbrook with fg% turnovers etc.
I'm not hating on Westbrook I'm just putting out my opinion on why he isn't the automatic MVP that the media is hyping him up to be and that you shouldn't just assume because he's averaging a triple double that he's the best player of the year. You gotta see what other players are doing rather than just being close minded and giving Westbrook MVP without a second thought. Also people that say it should be a co MVP with Westbrook just piss me the fuck off.
Fuuuuuck I put way too much effort into that now watch me get down votes while 12 year olds on this site get mass upvotes for saying I fucked your mum or Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.
You my friend, put a lot of effort into this comment. And I applaud you for that. It deserves more up votes than my comment.
thanks brah
Lol good points and if I had my choice it would probably be Isaiah Thomas.plus I don't think Westbrook is the best but I think he will win it on the fact he is averaging a triple-double.
Damm autocorrect

harden shouldn't be mvp he cant play d (im noot saying westbrook is a lock down defender) and he cant rebound like westbrook. Their team has a better record cuz harden has a supporting cast who can shoot (hence all hardens assists) and westbeast is averaging a tripple double
Harden rebounds even better... The Thunder box out just so that wesbrook can come in and grab the rebounds...
Westbrook has 1.7 reb per game Harden has 8
10.7

Damm another one... Him play hard game after hard game... BUT THAT MAKES HIM GOOD.
Honestly at this point it still goes to Harden. Harden has carried the Rockets to more wins. Remember, Harden's Rockets have been playing much better basketball more efficiently. But Westbrook is having a pretty damn good year, more than I give him credit for. Westbrook puts up these insane stats mostly because the offense is only built around him, but Harden focuses more on passing the ball around in D'Antoni's run and gun three offense
Without Westbrook the thunder are a lottery team with no more than 20-25 wins
tbh the rockets are too
i guess you could say that but the rockets would have a better team than the thunder if harden was gone.. thats just my opinion tho
Not really. Without harden you need to have Patrick Beverly replace harden in the pick and roll (their main form of offense) and it's just straight up not gonna go nearly as well. They'd both be trash without their stars
What???, the big 3 of Adams, oladipo and doug McDermott would destroy the west
**jk**
I like how everyone was talking about Oladipo as some kind of bum last year
it really depends. remember last year, when harden wasn't playing efficiently the Rockets' record nosedived.

IF I had a vote, I would most likely pick Westbrook. I think they both deserve it but I believe the decision will come down to how the Thunder end the season. They have a tough game against the Spurs and I believe the 50 win mark for the Thunder with Westbrook going all out can give him the nod.
We can all agree that the Rockets are a better team. They have better shooters and smarter players. Also, the rockets have players that can create offense with the ball in their hands with the Thunder everything has to run through Westbrook which may be the reason his numbers to be so great.
If you take away Westbrook the thunder are on pace to win 25-30 games at years end. If you take away Harden I still think Houston is a .500 team
MVP is really broken down into two terms:
-who is the most valuable to his team?
-who is having the best season?
I think Westbrook take both in my eyes but harden will win unless Westbrook goes HAM the last 8 games and gets 50 wins.
Harden>Westbrook
honestly if westbrook played normally and took good shots and didn't worry about the triple double then it would be pretty damn close
true harden i just a smarter player tbh
yeah, d'antoni completely turned his career around. now he's playing to win only, not worrying about stats. what's more impressive is that he's cranking out a triple double
*nearly a triple double
yea
also where is john wall moments??
true
Westbrook is carrying the thunder, if KD was still on the thunder, they'd be like the 3rd seed
Id rather see Lebron, Westbrook, or Kahwi win the MVP because Harden and the Rockets have ruined the NBA, all they do is shoot free throws and threes, watch their games everyone on their team is a flopping piece of shit, or just injures the other team aka Trevor Ariza almost killing like 2 warriors. Harden does not deserve it I dont care what anyone says
I agree... I still think the only fair was though is to give it to both of them. There are 5 players this year that in other seasons would easily be MVP. It's just that they are all performing like this in the same year. KOT4th, Klaw, King, Brodie, and Beard all would win in a different season.
yeah, it's one of the best mvp races we've seen in a while
Learn how being an Mvp works
Honestly at this point Russell has proven to me that he is the MVP yes Harden has more wins but he also has the better team now during most of the season I would say that their teams were basically tied in talent. Even if he is stat padding he is doing something that no one else is.
Pretty sure he's the favorite right now.
No matter who wins the MVP finalsmashes mom will still be locked in my closet
