For an updated player pool and vote breakdowns see the link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ARaI3VCNauULLYL1Yu24HIRY768FYQdip56sp6uRFGk/edit?usp=sharing).

Everyone may post in this thread but only votes from serious contributors will be considered. Not everyone has to write an essay but there should be some justification or explanation and some coherent arguments being presented. I encourage people to be open-minded and willing to adjust their rankings in response to strong evidence. Debate and discussion is encouraged.

By your own logic this should already be Westbrook. None of this makes any sense lol

It's impossible for someone else to win before 20 votes are counted :lol

Yep, best case scenario someone loses 10-7 :lol

[gonzaldo]

I'll vote for Westbrook to make it faster. He is sort of underrated here, basically he was the only thunders player in 2012 who didnt shrink in the finals. if durant and harden played a bit better westbrook has a title and fmvp.

Lol that's the case I made a few days ago. If a runner-up like Westbrook( or Iverson a few rounds ago) starts a thread with 10 votes he's already won. I'm not sure what having a 20 vote minimum achieves in scenarios like this where it is mathematically impossible for someone else to win under the established 'rules'.

But anyways, Westbrook gets my vote here for whatever its worth. I'd vote for Hayes, but what would be the point at this time? :confusedshrug:

31 ppg on 65%TS in your first Finals is shrinking? I didn’t think Durant even played that well in other aspects of that series besides scoring, but he was better than Westbrook, who besides Game 4 didn’t play that well in those Finals.
