Three years later, still don't understand why he didn't win that MVP. The guy literally had the highest scoring numbers since MJ in 86/87, and he did it with CP3 constantly struggling with injuries.
@@daoneandonlyrobby5309 good?! Bro Giannis put up numbers while playing dpoy caliber defense. Giannis was the clear favorite. Only people saying Harden are people who don't care about defense.
@@andrayday8064 there is no “clear favorite” when your competition is averaging as much as MJ, if Bron or Kobe put up those number and didn’t win MVP they’d still be talking about it to this day
I've been observing Harden's game for a while, and how he is so good drawing fouls on shots. 1st off, he is left-handed, and most of the NBA players are right-handed, ask a right-hand person what their primary arm is on defense and contesting shots is, it'll always be instinctively right. His shot form is very great, and has a high release point, so when a defender tries to contest commonly with his right, he will have a very high chance of hitting the arm(left). 2nd, in landing zones, harden is known ti be a deadly shooter, combine that with his size up moves that put a defender out of position and momentum, the defender will always jump forward, to atleast get a hand in his face. And harden usually knows this, jumping forward even more, and i think almost always subconsciously since he needs more power to get the shot off.
The best one was his DOUBLE step back against the jazz. Totally unguardable. He's gonna be pulling it during the playoff series and destroy the jazz with it. It's their weakness. Their coach never told them how to guard a double step back
@Mic Wop shut up kid u don't know my favorite player. And I'm hating because he gets away with bullshit calls and no calls all the time which I find unfair. Maybe I'm just old fashioned
It's a miracle he was even able to play basketball snapping his head ane neck sideways 2 or 3 times a drive when anyone even came close to playing defense on him. Regular season baller for sure though 😂 Embiid learned well.
He did do a lot this playoffs he carried his team to the playoffs from what a 1and 9 record and then averaged 33 points in the playoffs and had the best scoring season since mj so what you got to say
@@hinothingelse5304 I got to say that James Harden repeatedly comes up small in playoffs. 2015 western finals broke the record of most turnovers per game. 2017 playoffs western semi-conference finals game 6 vs Kawhi Tony Parker-less Spurs score 11 points. This year, without Durant, he lost game 5 pathetically only shooting 1 shot and committed many turnovers in game 5. The next game, he missed 5 free throws, coming up small in the 4th quarter and committed 3 turnovers one in the last 10 seconds. Countless meltdown. No stars had that many meltdowns. And yes, a meltdown is different from not clutch. Don't forget he shoots a lot, not moving when he doesn't have the ball. He indeed is a great player but not an MVP. You can argue Giannis get exposed in the eastern conference. But the guy guarding him is Kawhi Leonard. And he is young and without much experience in playoffs.
Virk Singh he’s one of the best players to not have a ring unguardable guy never seen anything like it gotta put in around top 10 all time SGs when he retires
Harden for MVP. Best offensive player in the league, best scorer, top five passer, and an underrated defender, leading the league in steals. Also, he's more valuable to Houston than Giannis is to the Bucks.
and best player to create his own shot. Teams want that kind of player and pay big bucks for them. Those kind of players are few and far between and harden is the best on the planet.
WHO IS JAMES HARDEN? . . . LEGEND OF HOUSTON AND NBA THE REAL KING OF HOUSTON AND NBA OFFENSIVE GOD OF NBA THE MONSTER THE MOST CLEVER PLAYER THE TITAN THE FEARLESS THE BRUTAL THE LONELY KING OF NBA THE UNSELFISH THE MVBEARD THE GOAT THE UNGUARDABLE THE INEXPUGNABLE THE WINNER THE MOST FOLLOWER FOR MVP
each year he s added something wild- the euro step, then the cross thru foul bait with two hands going under the arms of the defender, the step back three, and now the one legged three. dudes wild man.
He came to my school today!!!!🔥🔥🔥 Im not lying i swearr! He was doing an adidas advert at my school(UCL) and he gave the school basketball team the new iron man shoes for freee!!!! SIGNED!!!!!!! U could sell them for 8000 but who would sell them
Y'all are such casuals 😂 he's a walking brick that gets carried by his free throws which are earned from his flopping. Harden is notorious for being the player that benefited the most from this eras rule changes. Put him in an era with hand checking and he's literally averaging 16 points a game 💀
@@anthonym6918 you are the casual one 😂 even if there’s handchecking, he’d easily dominate in the 90s. None of those plumbers can guard against crossovers, not even jordan. Remember when grant hill and iverson entered the league? Harden is pretty much an upgraded version of those guys with more offensive skills.
@@nndayo6408 you're a maniac 😂 harden wouldn't even be allowed to cross over the way he does with hand checking. He just dribbles in place for 15 seconds and runs out the clock like an idiot. Once they made that rule this year where they took away his free throw exploitation (half his game) he literally averaged 21 a game 😂 add in hand checking and low scoring in the 90s and he's literally like a 14ppg player 💀
As much as I think Giannis played the most complete game this season. If we look at the meaning Most Valuable Player. You get games where the top players rest or they play limited minutes . I think Giannis as much as he played well has a very strong team. James harden and the rockets were 14th and most analyst such as Barkley said Houston weren't going to make the playoffs . Yet harden went on this run scoring 40/50/60pts now tell me is their anyone more valuable then him. He led the rockets from 14th to 4th. that's why I think harden should win because hes the valuable player that Houston needed to get to where they were. But even if Giannis wins it he deserves it but if we look at pure MVP it has to go to harden the game winner against the warriors was just a testament to his case for MVP
A lot of truly great players with diverse styles & abilities in the NBA at present. No wonder basketball has blown baseball out of the water...baseball needs to change with the times, instead of sticking with it's dated format...
Adam Silver won't be happy until Harden injures his ankle. In these playoffs, so many defenders have been under his feet when landing...no foul call. It's only a matter of time, and it will be a sad day.

You guys say Giannis is going to win mvp But look at what James Harden has some he played the whole season putting in the work. Injuries to the other 2 best players he stepped up more. He carries that team on his back. Had 2 61 point games and averaging over 35 a game. He is putting up number only Jordan and Kobe could do and your saying he is not winning Mvp wow
Escape Stat padding and flopping at the expense of your teams success won’t get you the award. Giannis could’ve easily averaged over 30 a night with more minutes alone. If you believe half of the court(defense) does not matter at all then harden is your mvp. But if you use common sense and look at the whole court not just half of it, even still Giannis was a more efficient offensive Machine then Giannis is the mvp. And you saw that the vote was not close at all
