IMO this is a two man race between Giannis and Harden. I would pick Giannis since the Bucks have the best record in the NBA, but Harden's statline is the most absurd I have ever seen.

Harden. Love him or hate him, but he carried the Rockets when they needed it. I might give "best player" to Giannis or Paul George, but Harden was the most valuable player this year.

Harden. Although to be fair, I haven't seen as much of Giannis as I have Harden so that probably contributes to my pick.

This kills me because I truly despise him but it's gotta be Harden.

Giannis will win based on his team's improvement. But you can't go wrong with either guy.

I'd hate to see a player like Harden get back to back MVPs but I think its the right move.
Harden somehow carried a skeleton crew team for the bulk of the season from being a bottom dweller to a top 4 seeded team in the West with countless high scoring, singled handed efforts.

Just like Mr. Tipton in My Cousin Vinny says that no self-respecting Southerner uses instant grits, I can't, in good conscience, pick Harden over Giannis here.

I must say the Rockets (at full strength) have much more talent behind Harden than what I gave credit for. Gordon is a very underrated offensive weapon, Capela one of the best rim running, rim protecting bigs, PJ Tucker an all defense level 3 and D wing, underrated bench players like Austin Rivers, and CP3 who is still an All-Star level talent when healthy.

Would have gave it to Harden if they finished 2nd.. Giannis has led his team to a higher height and played amazing D

I agree with this. No team relied as heavily on their superstar as the Rockets did on Harden. He single-handedly brought them from 14th to 4th place with a myriad of injuries to their team. Giannis also missed 10 games and plays in the weaker conference and yet their teams were only 7 games off.

The Bucks had a far better season than anyone expected while I think Houston finished worse than expected. For that reason and because Giannis is just awesome I would give it to him.
