**UPDATE: 4 p.m. Central 4/16**
We’ve now identified 59 of the 100 MVP votes. So there’s no chance NBA fans will need to wait for the NBA awards show in late June to know the winner of this contest.
In the past 24 hours we added five more votes.
New first place votes for Westbrook: Charles Gardner (MIL), Yuan Fang (China), Marc Berman (NYC) and Ric Bucher (Bleacher Report).
New first place vote for Harden: Nira Khurana (Mexico)
The first place votes we’ve tracked are now:
- Russell Westbrook: 38 first place votes
- James Harden: 16 first place votes
- Kawhi Leonard: 3 first place votes
- LeBron James: 2 first place votes
Four of the five new votes have a second place vote indicated.
