No. No all around. Love him, but no.If the 6'ers win 50 games, I think Joel E. should be in the MVP talk. With him, they may end up 3rd in the east, without him, they would be back in the lottery. I know about Lebron, and Harden, but do they mean as mucch to their teams as Joel means to the 6'ers?
I agree this. He dictates the pace of the game for the team and has been great not he defensive end. The fact people think there's a debate for ROY is crazy to me. To put Joel in the MVP race would be similarly crazy to me.No he shouldn't.
I actually think Ben Simmons might be more valuable than Embiid. He does everything. Without Simmons they are back in the lottery also.

Yep.Agreed.
Mitchell has had a great year. But Simmons is special. People who are trying to make this close are overanalyzing it.

Yep.
I have conceded on Mitchell.
But, how do we explain Harden over LeBron for MVP?
Voter fatigue?
Yep, with LeBron and MJ the only reason they didn't win more MVPs.Yep.

When you look at the ISO data, Harden brings it all on himself.
And he performs with remarkable efficiency.
36% USG rate for Harden compared to 31.6 for LBJ.
Harden has a slightly better PER (30.1 to 28.8) and their TS% are very similar (.619 for Harden vs .625 for LBJ).
I would vote for Harden.
His pros vs. LeBron are not as substantial as his cons...imo
LeBron may cherry pick the times that he displays elite defensive abilities.
But, Harden is the quintessential one way player.
Plus, this is such a polarizing topic because of our perception of what this award represents.
Is it the award for the best player or the player that is most valuable to his particular franchise?
I personally think LeBron is both.
Take him off the Cavs, they are playing for pingpong balls.
Houston with Paul would still make the playoffs.

What a shocking development. He looked pretty good! I think Raptors fans just pissed themselves about possibly facing Philly in the second round.
538 projects us to overtake CLE for the 3rd seed.
The game we have left with CLE is looming large...
