And yet the Rockets have a much better record than the Thunder. Harden is a much more efficient scorer. His true shooting percentage is 17th in the NBA. Westbrook's is 166th in the NBA.
Not to mention that Harden's great games much more often translate to team success. Russell Westbrook can become a chucker in losses. Helps his stats, but these stats right here don't lie.
Team records when each player scores 35+
Harden: 15-1
Westbrook: 5-8
Team records when scoring 30+
Harden: 28-5
Westbrook: 15-9
Basically, it's absurd to use Westbrook averaging .07 more points per game (in 14 fewer games) against Harden since Harden's high scoring is clearly much more valuable to his team.

Harden deserves the MVP.
I can understand an argument for Curry, and if he ends up ultimately winning it, I can't be mad about it because he has been great this season also.
The best player on the best team argument is just dumb though. All that is to me is an excuse for voters to not vote for Harden, because so many people can't stand his game. There are even still idiots that claim he doesn't play defense.
eta: Westbrook being in the conversation is a joke to me. Anthony Davis deserves it before him. Westbrook is putting up monster stats at an extremely inefficient rate. Everything people hate about Kobe's game is basically what Westbrook is doing right now.

A lesson on how to squash a debate. Have an upvote, sir.
