Is Durant the MVP favorite right now?

[Joyner82reload]

This question might seem nuts, but bear with me. I truly believe Durant is the MVP favorite, here is why

Noone has separated themselves from the field and it has been a down year for the MVP to date. Davis looked promising, but his team and individual numbers are fading. LeBron looks like shit and the leaders(Gasol/Curry) will end with mediocre numbers. In addition OKC has been garbage to date, but this isn't only due to Durant being injured. Obviously Westbrook has missed nearly as much time and the entire team has been littered with injuries. However, Durant will be the last player to return(which will probably be in the next few days) and he will gain all the credit for the OKC turnaround. Even if they win 3 in a row with Westbrook's return pre-Durant, the narrative will be OKC went 7-12 without Durant and 45-8 with him, or whatever they finish. And Durant will put up Durant 30/8/5 50/40/90 type numbers. Given all of the above, if I were forced to put money on a player to win the MVP today, my money would go on Kevin Durant. For this reason, I believe he is the favorite for the MVP despite not having stepped foot on the court this season.

Judging from todays game it is clearly Westbrook's team

Durant will go down the road Derrick Rose did. 1 MVP, downhill from there.

History has no place for KD.

Steph Curry or Marc Gasol

Yes, he is. Said it earlier, got negged for it. But yeah, he's the favorite.

Would be a tragedy if they give it to someone like Curry. Hopefully the voters take into account how awful OKC was without him and how dominant they are with him, and how dominant he is from an individual standpoint. I'm sure he'll have the most impressive advanced stats again this year too. And his raw numbers will be eye popping.

MVP or not, Durant is easily the best player at the moment. No ones close.

Durant is the greatest player in the world, bitches!!!!!

How on earth will Curry end with mediocre numbers? He'll be at like 25/8 on like 60% TS. Far from mediocre.

Sorry, mediocre numbers compared with Durant. Who will be around 30/8/5 50/40/90 65 TS% .300 WSp48 30 PER

He's the unquestionable best player on the planet, so yes.

The rest of the competition will blend together and cancel eachother out.

Curry is a fragile guy, mentally and physically.

I don't think he can make it through the whole season without getting injured or going through a major shooting slump.

Son it ain't happening this year, just let it go. He'll probably win it again next year though.

As long as they make the playoffs MVP is a lock. If not, it's going to Kobe.
