Curry is a MUCH better shooter than Harden but their TS's are almost equal because Harden gets to the line much more.

Curry also plays on a MUCH better team so he has more open catch and shoot opportunities.

They are both great players but I would go with Curry.

I would go for Jordan Hill

and if he stops getting the calls, that would be a valid argument but he gets the calls and as JVG keeps pointing out, he puts a lot of pressure on the refs but he does find a way to keep drawing contact.

It's smart, he's not doing anything wrong, but I just find it annoying to watch, which is why I prefer Curry

curry's game is much prettier. FT's are kinda boring.

but if you look at the 2 teams, GS is so many miles better and Harden is keeping these games close. He also needs to create everything for himself being that nobody else can really create.

Yep, as much as it begrudges me to admit, Harden deserved MVP over Curry

in the series or the season?

The season- compare Harden's teammates to Curry's, and then factor in all the injuries the Rockets had on top of that- winning as many games as they did is an impressive achievement for Harden.

Harden had a much worse supporting cast and possibly has more value to his team being that they cannot really find consistent scoring from any other source.

However, Curry's season was ridiculous!

It was neck and neck the whole season. Also, Curry's game is prettier and more likable.

They both got an equal number of votes to the NBA first team (129)
