James Harden won the award himself in 2018, and he would like to think that he knows what an award is called. In Harden's book, new teammate Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid deserves to win the award this season.
Harden said that he already saw his mindset, and that he deserved it. He wants to win. Some guys just want numbers, but he has both. He scores the ball at a high level because he has the mentality of winning. I think he is prepared for this year to be one of his best years, because he came off last year.
Harden said that anMVP should be dominant on the court and impactful in terms of winning, which gives the 76ers a chance to win the title.
Harden said that they have been fighting for the No. 1 seed and that he is top 2, top 3 in scoring.
Jokic and Embiid finished 1-2 in last season's voting and are expected to be two of the top three candidates for the award this season.
Jokic is 10th in the NBA in scoring with 26.2 points per game. Jokic is the second leading rebounder in the league with 13.5 per game. Jokic leads the league in efficiency. Jokic leads in assists with 7.9 to 4.3, while Embiid leads in assists with 107.4 to 109.1.
It was thought that the trade of Harden from Brooklyn to Philadelphia would diminish his statistical prowess. Since the trade, he has averaged more points (30.6) and rebounds (11.8) than before.
