Lillard isn't even the best player on his team.

Mick, essentially agree.
Although he has only played I think less 60 games I think he is a red hot chance for DPOY. He clearly is the best perimeter defender in the league, possible the best since Pippen. Lack of games might be the only thing that finds him short for that award this season.

Kawhi Leonard has shown over the last week that we are witnessing greatness. Destroying sides in 24 minute bursts. GSW didn't know what hit them couple of days back.
Spurs are primed for a repeat.
If he plays healthy next season he will be minimum the best two player in the league perhaps even greater.

The MVP choice is purely subjective. There can't be an objective winner. Too difficult to cross-compare players.
My selections may shock people.
My contenders are:
- Davis (not really a surprise). Take him out of NOP and NOP is like the Lakers v 2.0
- Lillard: 21,6 and 5. He is the heart and soul of that team. He is a massive factor in them getting 50+ wins.
- Marc Gasol: 17, 8 and 4 and the best defensive big man in the NBA. Great leadership and unselfishness. Gasol got there in 2008 and since then they went from 14th,12th,10th,8th,4th to Western Conference Finals (the same year Gasol won DPOY. Coincidence? Absolutely not).
- John Wall - if you're talking about CP3 as MVP, You gotta mention Wall in the same breath.
- Jimmy Butler - everyone knows Chicago's defence is beastly. Chicago are equal third in opponent FG percentage and have one of the best defensive PPG. What holds them back and what has held them back (even with D-Rose)? Scoring. Butler's 21ppg keeps them in contests; he carries that offense and single-handledly saves them from the offensive inconsistency of the likes of Hinrich, Noah, Dunleavy, Brooks

Here's my vote (gaps between names mean something):
#1 Curry
#2 Harden
#3 Paul
#4 Russ
#5 Davis

Curry for me!
More importantly MVA (Most Valuable Aussie)
1. Bogut
2. Baynes
3. Ingles

Lebron.
Look at Cleveland & Miami ladder position & compare to this time last year.
Hes the man!!

It's a 3 horse race, but Anthony Davis is having a crazy good year and the pellies are in the 8th seed atm, if you take him off this team and theyre an early lottery team


Curry would be a deserving winner but it's Westbrook for me, OKC are stuffed without him.
The guys a Triple Double machine and he's probably the most athletic player in the League.
