A lot changes in a year. I might roll with Harden.
Not a slight to Curry, but he had such a monster season last year he was considered the best player in the NBA. LeBron obviously shattered that.
Still a bonafied superstar, just an interesting debate that would have been an easy answer last year.
The NBA has a lot of great players right now. There seems to be more than usual.

I'll take Harden. Curry's a little bitch.
Draymond will impode and bitch out everyone.
Curry will curl up in a ball. Under Armour will continue to pump out bummy shoes that nobody buys.
Durant sitting solemnly at the podium would make my day.
One of those two will leave if they lose too.
Kerr will continue to be a smug asshole and try to come up with something profound.
Klay will just shake his head and disapprove of the dumbasses around him. I still fuck with Klay.
What's the arguments for/against each of them? To me, they are difficult to compare because so much of it to me is based on what they have surrounding them and what they are asked to do. Harden is probably the perfect fit for what Houston wants to do ... he's clearly in a position where he is able to maximize his impact on the game. Curry is in a different position where what he's asked to do isn't comparable. They both have their strengths and flaws.
The idea that Draymond is going to implode the team is something that I think is a popular opinion but I'm just not sure about it. I can see where people think that he's a grading personality and whatnot but he's really the glue that holds the team together. I've heard people claim that he's "fake tough" ... I'm not sure I would want to piss him off ... he's a bit of a throw back to me.
As for the stuff that went down this weekend between Draymond and Durant, I would be shocked if it was a long term issue. I doubt Durant's had anybody get in his face over the years outside of Westbrook and when he did it he basically told him to fuck off. In the situation that Durant's in now, he doesn't hold the "I've done it better than you " card that he has held in the past. From time to time everybody needs someone to jump on their ass and call them out when they aren't into it or whatnot even if that means getting somebody's anger directed at you. Personally, I think Durant plays a lot better when he has a mission and something to prove to people. Draymond likely saw that Durant was flat, pushed some buttons, and is likely working to figure out what buttons to and not to push in the future in similar circumstances. It's part of learning to work with teammates.

Leonard is the guy.
