It's been a few seasons since i've been on here. I have a bid in for Clark Apfel (not sure if I'll get him). When I left they had just announced they were going to make inside scoring less dominant. Has that happened? And what is the current model big requested for the national team?

Not trying to be d**k but seriously? A league MVP who went home after the first game?

MVPs in almost all sports are based solely on the regular season. So what is your point?

Your players all took each other's votes.
It's what you get for having an elite championship caliber team with so many absurdly good players in your starting roster.

I was secretly hoping Nikola Crncevic would get 1 or 2 votes due to his amazing rebounding title.
Well, not so secretly. I was running up and down the streets with a big sign yelling "Nikola for MVP!!!", but it didn't work.

My point is I'm a little upset that my players never won MVP trophy and I had a great shot this year. If i don't win then i probably will never do. I don't know how much longer i can keep this team if i lost the finals (which I very likely will)

I went 22-0 last regular season. I had one player receive votes, and he finished in 8th place. If you're starting a petition, consider this my signature (and it's good to know at least one of us thinks you're likely to lose the finals).

Understandable, but as Zenith pointed out, your three top players end up taking votes away from each other. But even then, I'd say all three also received a boost from your record. Based just on how well players played, I expected the MVP to be either Anaya or Vereker. And while being the conference champ helps, the fact is you only had 3 more wins than the Jack Rabbits, so it probably wasn't that big of a boost.

If you only had Eckert or Wakatsuki, the one you had might have had a better shot at winning because that one would have been your go to guy every game. But then you probably wouldn't have the record you have. It's a cruel trade off, and perhaps not completely fair.

I think it is difficult, and more so as you move up in the divisions, to both have the best overall record and have the league MVP. And in fact if you look at the NBBA and the four D.II leagues in the US, you will see that none of the MVPs are from the team with the best record. If someone were to focus on winning an MVP trophy (and I clearly may not be the best one to talk here, as I doubt I'd ever build a team with a player capable of winning an MVP), I think they need one clear stud and then 2 or 3 high quality support players. Guys who will help the team win and feed the stud, but are unlikely to take a game mvp title from the stud at any point. And of course, the stud needs to play in all 22 league games, rather than being used in cup games.

Why can't the media think from your logic and consider Harden more qualified than Curry as MVP?
