Wins have always been a part of the equation for MVP. On off plus minus. Never mentioned much til this year.

Guess thousands of MVP voters over the years are all hacks.

Didn't you have the pulse of the voters due to being connected to know that this would be the year they would change it up?

They've always been part of the equation, and it still is. LeBron averaged a net +/- of about +16.8 in his 4 MVP seasons, Curry had 20.2 average in his 2 seasons, and Durant was +6 in his. Even Rose, probably the least deserving of the recent MVPs had a +2.

So wins matter, but the team around them, should and does matter, which is evident in how much better teams are with an MVP player in the court.

I'm trying to figure out the logic of saying that wins matter, but ignoring more than about 25% of the season.
