Clippers' Griffin backs Houston's Harden for MVP

The MVP is the closest it has been in years. The race between Stephen Curry and James Harden seems to shift every night, and every indication is that the vote will be extremely close. So naturally, everyone's got a reaction. Including Blake Griffin, who says that while Steph Curry's deserving, he would give it to James Harden. From the LA Times:

Griffin's argument echoes that of several players, who believe that Harden having to carry the load without Dwight Howard for so much of the season gives him an edge. We'll talk more about this next week, but before we get there, check out our breakdowns of Curry vs. Harden in scoring, defense, and passing.
