Harden Pours In 50

Yesterday was the Houston Rockets 20th Anniversary of their amazing title run in 1995. Important players that were apart of that team were there like Hakeem Olajuwon, Robert Horry, Clyde Drexler, Vernon Maxwell, Mario Elie, and coach Rudy Tomjanovic. Houston played Ty Lawson and the Denver Nuggets. Harden lead the way in scoring 50 points shooting 44.4% from the field (12-27), but not only he scored a career-high, Harden grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out 4 assists as well. With Harden scoring 50, he increases his chances of winning MVP this year over other candidates like Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, and LeBron James. Harden is currently #1 in the MVP race after last week he was #3 in the MVP standings. Harden is also 2nd in the scoring race, behind his former teammate Russell Westbrook with 27.6 points per game, with 27.1 points per game. Harden has also been helping his team to a 46-22 record, 3rd in the Western Conference. If Harden continues his play on both ends of the floor, he could win MVP this year and maybe lead his team to the Western Conference Finals, which hasn't been done since the 1995 Houston Rockets' title run.

What will Harden do next? This Year's MVP?

Will Klay Thompson go to NY?

Don't be fooled by the title, Thompson isn't going to the Knicks. What I meant by going to New York is if he will be in the 2015 NBA All-Star Game in New York this year. Looking at the year Thompson has had so far has been incredible. Being apart of the best backcourt in league, along with fellow teammate and All-Star starting point guard Stephen Curry, Thompson is currently averaging 22.6 ppg, 3.5 apg, and shooting 47% from the field. Thompson, along with Curry, has helped the Warriors to a 35-6 record. In my opinion, Thompson should be an All-Star because his numbers are speaking for themselves and he contributes on both ends on the floor. Also, Thompson should be an All-Star because just yesterday, in a 126-101 win vs. the Sacramento Kings, Thompson scored a career high 52 points. Along with those numbers, Thompson scored a massive 37 points with 100% from downtown and the field. Thompson's scoring outburst yesterday was an NBA record previously set by Carmelo Anthony with 33 points in a quarter on December 10, 2008.

Will Thompson be an All-Star?

Should Curry be MVP?

On NBA.com, this week Golden State Warriors' all-star point guard, Stephen Curry, is on the top of the Kia "Race to the MVP" Ladder. You may ask yourself this question, "What about Kobe or LeBron, Durant?" Think about it this way, Curry is shooting 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from downtown and 91.2 percent from the free throw line. There cannot be another player in the league right now that is putting up those numbers. Curry is also averaging 23.2 ppg, 4.8 rpg, and 8.0 apg. Curry has displayed many individual performances that has left teams wondering how to stop him. In my opinion, I think Curry deserves the MVP because he has led the Warriors so far to a 33-6 record with no losses at the Oracle Arena. If Curry continues to put up these numbers he will join the 50-40-90 club along with Larry Bird, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, and Kevin Durant.

Curry 4 MVP?
