How so?


To begin with, we're talking about opinions evaluating players' value to their respective teams.

If we are basing MVP off who is the best player in the league this past season


I am not and neither is the Boston writer who voted for Melo.

If we are basing MVP off of who was more important to their specific team it still lebron, with arguments for maybe being CP3 or Durant.


Well, shite holmes, clearly you should have the deciding vote. It would save the league time and effort.

quote:

Melo shouldn't be the MVP any way you slice it.


Except there's that little fact that, for as big an a-hole as he may be, if not for him and his scoring the Knicks wouldn't have sniffed the playoffs. He fricking carried that team in the second half of the season.

In any event, depending upon how you choose to measure MVP, there are different opinions and in no way is that writer's opinion "stupid". In the interview he gave, he definitely made a case for his vote. He acknowledged that LeBron and Durant were the two best players in the league.

CP3 and Durant objectively meant more to their teams than Melo. You can look at WS, WS/48,+/-, etc... Those two have melo beat in just about all those categories.

Lebron lead the league in all those categories btw. Lebron had more than double the amount of WS as Melo. He had the fifth highest Win Shares in NBA history. More than any season MJ had.

The Knicks outscored their opponents when Melo was off the floor.
