Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2130075, member: 488"] Westbrook is definitely a guy who hunts his stats. A lot of guys do, though. What he's doing is still amazing. But Harden is the MVP. Even looking past the advanced stats, there is just a difference in a way those players are defended and in the way they contribute to efficient offense. Harden gets a lot of hockey assists. Russ isn't giving it up unless he thinks he's getting an assist out of it. Harden assists on a lot of three pointers. Russ less so, partially because the team around him isn't equipped to shoot as many threes but also because he's just not the pick and roll player Harden is. The Rockets are on pace to make the most threes in NBA history, IIRC, and it's all because of Harden. He's a magician with the basketball. No way I'd have Russ over LeBron either. [/QUOTE]
