James Harden's MVP argument is just that he isn't as terrible at defense as he used to be

Basically James Harden's whole argument is he's not as shitty at defense as he used to be. He tries a little bit on defense. Was he slow playing us this entire time? Like sitting and bagging us on defense and just waiting for a season to give half of a shit?

While Harden finished 2nd in MVP voting that year, the 'defensive improvement' narrative was indeed a major talking point in his 2017 campaign.
