Russell Westbrook declined to endorse former teammate James Harden for MVP.
Westbrook beat out Harden to win MVP last season.
"I'm not sure," Westbrook said when asked if it was Harden's turn to win MVP. "Obviously he's having a good year, a great year. Their team has the best record in the NBA. I'm not sure."
Harden is the leading candidate for the award with LeBron James his most probable challenger.
"Nah, I don't have a pick," Westbrook said. "There's a lot of guys doing a lot of great things in the league. Honestly, I don't know kind of what you go off of, because MVP's kind of been picked differently every year. So it depends what criteria, what it is that you guys vote for. But obviously he's leading the charge at the moment."
Kevin Durant recently talked about how it was Harden's turn to win MVP.
"It's his turn. Just give it to him," said Durant of Harden. "It's his time to win it. They're playing on another level — 60-point triple-double, first seed in the West, in the league, playing great ball. It's his time."
