Unfortunately that's the exact perception of Harden from the non-Rockets fan and media. Not only does the majority of media think that way, they constantly say it on tv to drive it into fans heads. It's like Nike put out a hit on Harden for leaving them.
No shocker there. MVP was Giannis's to lose since November. Gotta market the young players for the next generation.
Unlike Westbrick's win, which at least had that 1st-triple-double-average-in-decades thing going for it, this one's going to look strange in the rearview mirror of history.
Problem might be people don’t feel harden is as personable as giannis. Media has never sympathized with harden or cried with him Bc of his story. Harden has never been an emotional guy to cry like Giannis or Kd. This is maybe the reason the media doesn’t love harden like Giannis
I felt Harden robbed as well... The Bucks won a ton of games.... and the guy sure appreciated it.. obviously that was clear..... If Harden hadn't won last year, maybe thats the difference...
Intersting to see how the voting turns out. If its not at least 60-40 ...maaaan that would be bogus. Nowadays every writer votes the same way smh.
Damn Tucker is savage. It really was an uncomfortable speech, though it’s not Giannis’s fault that the media screwed the vote. Edit: Didn’t realize Tucker posted that before Giannis won. He was referencing Goebert winning DPOY.
