I've been advocating for Harden this year because he has been out of this world and the Rockets have been great - but he's really not the Most Valuable Player in the league. LeBron is - but the award has been more of a team-oriented award as of late. I'm fine w/ Harden getting it - but as you said - the Lebron fatigue is real.
