On Wednesday Curry said, "“I am going to cop out, but you’ve got ask me in 16 games when the 82’s over." When pressed on how he would choose if the season ended now, he replied, "I’d probably say James (Harden)."
Westbrook told reporters that he does not pay attention to other player's opinions about who they believe should be MVP.
"I don't care. It don't matter what he says. Who is he?" Westbook said.
