CLEVELAND, OH – FEBRUARY 3: Jae Crowder /

(2018 Projections) NBA Most Valuable Player:

1. James Harden (Houston Rockets)

2. LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers)

3. Giannis Antetokounmpo/Stephen Curry/Jimmy Butler(Milwaukee Bucks/Golden State Warriors/Minnesota Timberwolves)

James Harden has been astonishing this year, I’m assuming that losing to Russell Westbrook last year was the last straw and Harden goes off toward the end of this season.

LeBron James is looking for his fifth MVP.

Without the addition of the Cavaliers new young core, I’m not sure that LeBron would be as fired up as he is now.

Maybe the cool high fives did it?

Giannis, Steph, and Jimmy.

All of these players are incredible.

When you make all the players on your team better, you deserve to be on a list like this one.
