James Harden will finally get his NBA MVP award

Many believe that James Harden should’ve won the NBA MVP award a few years ago, the one which Stephen Curry ultimately won. However, this season, James Harden will finally get that elusive MVP award.

As it stands, it’s a two-man race at the moment – Russell Westbrook vs James Harden. While many will be blinded by the insane statistics that Russ is able to produce on a nightly basis, mostly because who else is going to produce for that team, I firmly believe that Harden’s value – and importance to his team – will shine brightest when season draws to a close.

James Harden will be your 2016-17 NBA MVP.
