Mask the Embiid

"It's just a feel thing, really," said Warriors guard Steph Curry, winner of back-to-back MVP awards and the first-ever unanimous selection in 2016. "Every year, the conversations [in the media] carry weight. Narratives take place in October, November and December, and [the media] has to feed those narratives. Voters get fatigue. But if you're watching and living in this every day, it's pretty clear. You know who should hold that trophy."
If Steph Curry disagrees with his brother by favoring Harden, as he does this year, it's also because he understands firsthand the unique position Harden has occupied this season as a reigning MVP.
"There's a little more pressure," Steph Curry said. "You're not surprising anyone."
In that, Curry gets to what may be driving the players' support of Harden: He has had the more extraordinary season because he has surprised everyone, rising above last year's MVP performance. It's the same way they're surprised by what the Bucks have done. Meanwhile, Antetokounmpo has been what those damn early-season narratives projected him to be.

The players have made their decision, they are all going team James.
