3 reasons why Paul George should be the MVP

Houston Rocket's James Harden is considered to be the "odd-on" favorite to win the NBA MVP award for the second year in a row, however there are great contenders this year such as Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks and Paul George from the Oklahoma City Thunder, but Paul George is the most consistent out of 3 candidates and here's why!

3 reasons why Paul George should be the MVP

In This Article:

1. His leadership.

Thriving!

The first season when Paul George arrived in OKC with Carmelo Anthony and they were supposed to go toe to toe with the Golden State Warriors, but Oklahoma City Thunder finished fourth in the conference with a 48-34 record and they only won two games against the Utah Jazz. Right when the Thunder lost in the first round, the rumors about where Paul George was going began to surface. Paul George decided to stay in Oklahoma City and so far his numbers gone up and the team is more cohesive.

2. He makes it easier for Russell Westbrook.

Best duo ever!

One thing that I love about Paul George is that he is a great teammate to Russell Westbrook. Ever since Kevin Durant left Oklahoma City, people think that Russell Westbrook is a bad teammate and that is far from the truth. Russell Westbrook is still averaging great numbers, but he is letting Paul George take most of the workload rather just keeping the ball and shooting. Westbrook finally has someone that he can rely on to hit the winning shot after Kevin Durant left.

3. His Career Stats.

Russell Westbrook is considered to be a "ball hog" and who would have thought. So far, Paul George is averaging 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 31 blocks, while shooting 45% from the field. He is currently leading the league in steals which helps Oklahoma City defend effectively.

I know that there isn't a huge chance that Paul George will win MVP based on the numbers that James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo are putting up on there respective teams, however at the ever least he deserves to be in the conversation and Defensive Player of the Year, because of the career numbers that he putting up.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
