4. James Harden, Houston Rockets
According to the Internet, James Harden has already won the NBA MVP as he’s expected to be dominant all season as reality star Khloe Kardashian has left him for the recovering Lamar Odom. Depending on what gets you laughing, you could take that as serious or a little thing that could get Harden motivated to win the award.

Harden finished second to Stephen Curry last season in MVP voting, as both were neck-and-neck for the latter stretch of the season. Now, it does get kinda confusing, because to the media he wasn’t MVP, but to his peers, which might be more credible to most, he’s the real MVP.
Anyway how you take it or believe it, Harden winning the media MVP this season is very possible. The Rockets brought in Ty Lawson and will hope to have Terrence Jones and Dwight Howard healthy all season. Dependent on his team, and how much he’ll have to carry, the bearded one will stay in the MVP talk.
