I don't think Westbrook should win MVP because he's on a team that's barely in the playoffs. If he does win the MVP, that would be a HUGE disservice to Kobe. Remember a few years back when Nash won MVP twice and people were saying Kobe didn't win it because he was on a subpar team. If that were the case, Westbrook has much better players other than KD/Ibaka. Kobe was stuck with the likes of Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, and Luke Walton in the starting LU...and still almost beat the Suns in the first round of the playoffs.
Whiteside won't win MIP simply because he only started playing the 2nd half of the season; they'll probably give it to someone who's been consistent throughout the season.
