re: Bovada's NBA MVP Odds Have Been Released

The NBA does it right in the MVP voting. Baseball is usually a MOP award.

MVP and MOP are 2 separate and completely differing items.

Best example is when Harper win the NL MVP. The Nats did not make the playoffs and were fading when he was still available. He did though have the best stats that year.

I agree that Lebron has been the best player in the League the last decade. But the NBA has made it clear that that's not what the award is about.

So we're just gonna disregard PER, box plus/minus, VORP and win shares, the primary metrics of determining one's value to their team? What reasonable, measured criteria exists to establish whether one's an NBA MVP? CMON MAN
