James Harden is the MVP
December 3, 2019
James Harden will be the MVP for the 2019-2020 NBA basketball season. His performance this year has been better than reigning MVP Giannis Anteteokumpo, star forward Lebron James, Luca Doncic, and all the other stars in the league. The NBA might as well hand James Harden his award already because he is showing no signs of slowing down. James Harden is an absolute baller.
Harden’s stats have been out the roof. Basketball reference, an NBA stat site, shows us his stats for the year so far. He is averaging an astounding 38.9 points per game. He dishes out 7.8 assists a game while hauling in 5.9 rebounds a game. The league has never seen a scorer quite like James Harden. He knocks down step back threes with ease and makes defenders look silly when he drives to the bucket. His stats are proof that he is indeed the league’s most valuable player.
An article on ESPN tells us about James Harden’s record breaking 60 point game. He dropped a smooth 60 points in 31 minutes. Mike D’Antoni says, “It’s like everything else he does — unbelievable.” James shot 16-24 from the field and knocked down 8 three pointers. James Harden is unstoppable and I don’t think the league will ever see a scorer quite like him again.

Should have taken it last year too… But the question in the MVP race these days tends to be “Who has the best storyline?” Freak won it last year as the emerging, unstoppable young talent, Russ won three years ago averaging a triple/double … What will it take for the Beard to silence the haters?

Harden is playing incredibly well, but not the MVP. You could maybe talk me into giving him second place. Nice piece though!
1. Luka Doncic
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
3. James Harden
4. Lebron James

Little doubt that James Harden is the best offensive player so far this season. Not sure how his defense stacks up against the other MVP candidates in the league. I think MVP should be based on how you play on both ends of the floor.

I totally agree! I just wish OKC wouldn’t have traded him.

Great take! The Beard can’t be stopped! How many players in the league actually require a double team to have a chance of stopping them?

Well said Brady. He’s playing insane right now. Hope he keeps it up.
