Wow no James Harden.
Stephen Curry was a guest on The Dan Patrick Show Tuesday for a conversation on the potential of a shortened NBA season and the three-way race among him, Russell Westbrook and James Harden for MVP honors.
Curry didn’t mence words — saying he’d vote for himself or LeBron James.
“If I can’t vote for myself or Klay, then…this year, I’d probably vote for LeBron,” Curry said.
Patrick seemed surprised to hear Curry picking James, who hasn’t been mentioned as much in some circles.
“But he’s not…it’s weird that he’s not in the [MVP] conversation,” Patrick said. “I don’t understand that, Steph. If he’s the best player in the game, and the Cavs are, what, gonna be a No. 2 seed and maybe one of the two or three favorites to win it all…are we tired of LeBron James, that story?”
Curry said he thought James was in the running, as always.
“I don’t know, I don’t follow that closely. I thought [James] was up there,” Curry said. “… He’s obviously one of the most talented guys on the face of the planet.”
Sounds like Curry pouring the respect on heavy.
