I can guarantee you there has never been a MVP with a lowly +3 or whatever his ON court numbers are.

Probably also haven't had many MVPs whose teams were still +5 when he's off the court.

That sounds like one hell of a supporting cast, top notch.

Right on cue.

Going back 10 years, the only 2 MVP winners whose teams were in the + when they were off the court. Kobe 2008, because his supporting cast was really good.

And DRose 2011, who we all know wasn't remotely deserving of the award.

So yea, you can't have it both ways. You can't say Harden is the MVP and give him ALL of the credit when his team is performing insanely well when he's not on the court.

Hate to break it to ya. But having a better supporting cast has always helped someone's MVP case in the form of team wins, not hurt it.
