I don't believe an NBA MVP should come from a team that is struggling to win half of their games or is not in the playoff hunt (sorry but they're no chance).

That's how the regular season MVP voting has always gone. The voters choose the best player from a team that has a top 3 record or so in the respective Conference, consider their statistics and individual performances, and then consider the story line to how much team success can be attributed to the player.
21 points, 6 rebounds on 8-11 shooting in the first half for KD...unfortunately, it's a bit of a blow out so looks like he's going to be benched by the time the fourth comes around so will have an "ordinary" 33 point outing.
Meanwhile, Lebron has 19 points on 8-11 shooting at the half. I bet they both log on to espn at the locker room to see what the other is doing and will be looking to up the ante.
42 points for KD through 3 quarters and hasn't appeared in the fourth yet with 7 minutes to go and OKC up by 30. Damn you Coach Brooks and your conservative team orientated ways! Put him in and let him get 60 points just to show LBJ up! It's good for the game dammnit!!!!
Coach Brooks with his team up 22 points heading into the fourth and Kevin on 42 points: "SIT YO A$$ DOWN!!!!"
Coach Spoz with his team up 19 points heading into the fourth and Lebron on 49 points: "GET YO A$$ IN THERE!!!!"
AD23 and Gasol going blow for blow in the first 1/4. Gasol ends with 15 points, 3 boards and a block but AD outshines him with 17 points and 7 boards. Davis played all 12 minutes of the first along with Gordon, guess u can do that when your young haha.
@BeyondTheBuzzer: Russell Westbrook recorded the 2nd fastest triple double in NBA history tonight vs. 76ers: 13 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds in 21 minutes
