With less than a month remaining in the regular season, it’s almost time to award this year’s MVP winner. Next to 2008 that saw Kobe Bryant take home his only MVP honor, this has potentially been the most competitive race in league history.
Whether your pick is Russell Westbrook for his historic pursuit to average a triple-double or Isaiah Thomas and his quest to help the Boston Celtics return to their glory days or someone else, there’s not really a wrong answer this year. Any of this season’s top candidates are more than worthy of the honor.
