Kobe Bryant thinks James Harden is the NBA's MVP
Everyone has their opinion on who should win the NBA's MVP award this season. Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook are all legitimate candidates.
Who does Kobe Bryant think should win? Well, that would be Rockets shooting guard James Harden, who dragged Houston all the way to a two-seed without Dwight Howard for most of the season.
Here's what the Los Angeles Lakers all-time great had to say:
“That is a tough call, you have James [Harden] who has been playing consistent all through the season. Steph [Curry], who has been doing phenomenal things. That is a tough call for me but I would have to say James [Harden]. [James Harden] had to keep that team afloat. I think the team actually got better, when he went down. Which is hard to do. So I think with the responsibilities he had to deal with this season I’d vote James [Harden]."
Bryant won the award only once in his career (2008), but if anybody knows what it means to be valuable, it's him.
