One would think Russell Westbrook will be holding the MVP trophy tomorrow night in New York. For me it’s very simple, without Westbrook this Thunder team would have struggled to win 22 games. With him, they won 47 games, made the playoffs, and were competitive against every team in the league minus the Warriors. And those triple doubles weren’t just for show, OKC needed every single one of them to win as many games as they did. When he tripled doubled — OKC won eighty per cent of their games.
Great season by James Harden, but Russell Westbrook is my runaway MVP winner. As long as I’ve watched basketball I’ve never seen anything like it, and chances are I never will again.
YES!
