Russell Westbrook is the 2017 MVP, and we should really stop talking about it by now.
Now that he has tied Oscar Robertson for triple-doubles in a season AND clinched a triple-double average for the entire season..... wait let's say that one again.... clinched a triple-double for the entire year, he is firmly in a place on his own as far as "valuable" goes in this season.
In fact, Stephen Curry and LeBron James could not have the Thunder as successful as they are if they were switched with Westbrook right now. Not at the age LeBron is, and not with Steph Curry in a new system.
Listen below to Jason Smith as he explains why the MVP is Russell Westbrook, and why he is deserving of the award.
