    I'm going full @HCP . I don't personally like Russell, but he was the best player this year and I can't understand arguments against it.


    Also, fuck Russell Westbrook.

    I like and respect triple-doubles, but I'm also interested in double digit turnovers: Russ has 5 this season.

    J. Harden: 5
    K. Leonard: 0

    If I'm voting, I'm voting for Leonard.

    What Westbrook was able to accomplish this season is amazing. The guy is a beast and you can't deny his talent. My problem with him is that I suspect that he's more proud of his individual accomplishment in breaking Oscar Robertson's record for triple doubles than he would have been in winning a title and sharing accolades for that with Durant. I think that MVP should go to the guy who is most responsible for helping his team achieve its goals instead of a player who just makes sure that he gets his own stats night in and night out.

    Why do you care so much? Seriously? Seems really weird. You've been making multiple posts on this for days. Why?

    @HCP has praised Westbrook in this thread more than he has ever praised Lillard in the entire forum.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'd probably vote for LeBron James. Even if Irving is an All-Star and Love is a former All-Star, that team sucks whenever James doesn't play. He's having another phenomenal statistical year and, get this, he plays really good defense. Westbrook and Harden are both painfully deficient at defense.

    I would have voted for LeBron and expected Harden to win instead. Now I expect Westbrook to eek it out though due to the last stamp he put on in the DEN game.

    This logic doesn't fly FAMS. Leonard doesn't have the ball in his hands NEARLY as much as Russ. Forever the dominant PGs have led the league or been near the top. Iverson, Kidd and Nash always had high numbers of TOs. When your job is to control the offense and set up other people, turnovers happen.

    Because The HCP is the Russell Westbrook of this forum. Most hated, but most dominate person here. You love to hate us without quality reasons.

    Honestly I just hate when people let their emotions block common sense is all. That happens a lot around here.

    Imagine that, fans getting emotional and behaving irrationally. What is the world coming to?

    You nailed that one. Like Russ, you're a high volume, inefficient chucker. One look at your post:like ratio reminds me a lot of Westbrook's shooting percentages and turnover rate.

    The correct use of the word is "dominant", not "dominate".

    Please don't compare Kidd/Nash to Westbrook.
    Those two never averaged even close to 6 turnovers a game. Kidd's worst was 4 his second season, while Nash was 3.8.
    AI was always knocked for turnovers and defense, I would know he was my fav player growing up.
    Stop acting like Westbrick shouldn't have the same knock because he averaged a triple double this year.

    LeBron James is the real MVP of the league. He'll just have to settle for a finals MVP. Something Westbrick has zero chance at. And if you were to replace LBJ with Westbrick, he still wouldn't have a chance at finals MVP.

    Give him a break Mr. Grammar Nazi. It was a typo. He clearly meant to type dominated and left off the "d".

    Now you should know that we didn't have LIKES until just recently. So you my friend are not only STILL a virgin, but you are incorrect.
