Who's the real MVP?
Russell Westbrook was named the NBA's 2016-17 Most Valuable Player after averaging a triple-double and willing his club to the postseason.
The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard delivered a beautiful, teary speech as he accepted the award Monday night, but didn't address the elephant in the room like many hoped he would.
So, his teammate Enes Kanter did.
Following the inaugural NBA Awards show, the center tweeted that Russ is "the real MVP" - obviously a reference to former teammate Kevin Durant's 2014 MVP speech.
No! No! No!
