Major props to Adam Silver. These bums (cough, cough: LeFraud!) constantly sitting are hurting the integrity of the game.

Lakers fan treat past players (Besides coward) extremely well

Pau gets cheered whenever he plays at staples for example.

OKC fans should learn a thing or too

*two

Difference is Pau helped win two championships in LA. Durcant didn't do shit, blew a 3-1 lead and then jumped ship to the team he lost to.

So I dont think titles won has anything to do with it

Who gives a shit if they sit. All you can's care about rings so players want to be rested and not injured for the playoffs. He's also played a ton of minutes the past six years. A night off here or there doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Wouldn't expect you to understand that though.

LeBron is the MOST VALUABLE player. Not even close. It's a joke he's almost an afterthought by most of sports media. Sad!

He's on pace to lead his superteam to 55 wins and he willfully sits out games when he's healthy. You can't make it obvious you dgaf about the regular season then expect to win a regular season award. This is why Snaq only has one MVP

Shut the hell up. Miami was nothing but class when LeBrick bolted for Canland

Miami’s reaction to LeBron James’ decision to return to Cleveland has been a different story than what happened four years ago in Ohio.

LOL @ anyone who was hoping for an OKC Warios first round matchup, no way they would want to face a fired up Chuckbrick without KD!

Swept and all 4 games would be blowouts
 
I would give it to harden because he doesn't want to rest

LeBron is still leading all the other contenders for MVP in real plus/minus and RPM wins added. Bron has played in 63 games to date, with 13 left. We can estimate that he will end up having played in 72-73 games while finishing either 1st or 2nd in minutes played per game. Not exactly throwing away the regular season. Not to mention that both Houston and OKC are better defensively when Harden and Westbrook are off the floor.

I'm not familiar with RPM, could you pls explain to me how that works?

It's impressive that HOU and OKC's bench vs opponents' bench is better defensively than their starters vs opponents' starters, but I'm not sure how that's relevant

Here's a decent synopsis:

Just like any other predictive stat, it's not perfect. But it does a decent job of evaluating a player's worth.

Keep in mind Harden is going to set a new NBA/ABA mark for turnovers in a season.

If you take Lebron and Harden off of their respective teams, who do you believe suffers more? I'd say it's unquestionably the Cavs.
