Even though we have to wait until June 26th to officially find out, it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that Russell Westbrook is going to take home the 2017 NBA MVP Award. Westbrook was just on a whole different level this season, averaging a triple-double, and turning heads everywhere he went during his season of revenge.
Howver, Westbrook was awarded an MVP award of a very different type on Tuesday...the Shaqtin' a Fool MVP award. Hearing that may surprise you at first, but once you watch the "highlight reel," you'll fully understand why Westbrook was awarded the dubious honour.
Although no one wants to be crowned most valuable fool, winning the award isn't necessarily a bad thing. James Harden won it last year and he's certainly still one of the top players in the league. Oh, and JaVale McGee has won the award twice and he kind of just became an NBA Champion on Monday night.
That's right, Russ. You're pretty much guaranteed success in the future now!
