Russell Westbrook is the NBA MVP.

The NBA Awards were handed out last night and as we watched everyone get their awards we all knew what we were waiting on.....the NBA to give out it's MVP award. All season everyone wondered who would get this award. There were arguments all season about who should win James Harden or Russell Westbrook.
