Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook is averaging a triple-double this season. Mark Cuban says MVP is a toss-up between James Harden and LeBron James. That’s a tad extreme, but when it comes to the MVP vote, Cuban is right — Westbrook doesn’t deserve to be named the MVP and the voters for the award will likely agree. The last league MVP to win the award with a true shooting percentage under 55 percent was Kevin Garnett in 2004. And this is by design: Oklahoma City will generally concede these rebounds to Westbrook, thus padding his stats.
