If you had one player for one season--namely, this season--and your goal was to win a championship, would it be Lebron, Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Curry, or Leonard?
I'd take LeBron, which indicates to me that he is the most "valuable" player. However, what Westbrook has accomplished this year (averaging a triple-double) is so incredible that it would be a crying shame not to give it to him.
LeBron could/should win every year, but just as in Jordan era when the same argument could easily have been made for Michael, it was always nice to find a reason to pass the MVP to others on occasion.
