Wizards head coach Scott Brooks said that James Harden deserves to be the MVP this season.
Harden ended the game against Washington with 38 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.
Per ESPN, "He's definitely an MVP this year," Brooks said of Harden before the Wizards lost to the Rockets 120-104on Tuesday night. "He's played well on the team that's playing the best in basketball, but you can always argue LeBron [James] can get it every year. Like Michael Jordan should have had 12 of them. LeBron's the same type of player. He's having probably a better year than he had before, however many years he had.
"But James is deserving. He put in a lot of work. He's gotten better every year. Sometimes, it's hard to do that when you're at a high level. He's been at an MVP level for the last three years or so. Every year, he's come back and played better. Like all MVPs, it's about impact and winning."
