Golden State Warriors v Houston Rockets - Game Seven
James Harden

The reigning MVP, James Harden and the Rockets had an outstanding regular season last year which paved the path for Harden to win his first MVP. He had finished twice at the number 2 position in the MVP race and is always a leading contender for the award.

The D'Antoni system allows his stats to be stuffed up and his team will again be in contention to be one of the top teams in the west. Don't be surprised if Harden repeats as the MVP.
