Damn Speedy, that's a ton of research & effort you put into this thread. So I'll go with '73 as well, just because you say so 
Posted on 5/9/16 at 9:25 am to SPEEDY
I see all of the examples in your OP are from the NBA... Are we free to discuss MVP snubs from other sports?
Posted on 5/9/16 at 9:27 am to SPEEDY
So the MVP shouldn't be voted on and should just go to the person with the highest PER?
Posted on 5/9/16 at 9:29 am to SPEEDY
2006 should have been Kobe over Nash, and 2007 should have been CP3 over Kobe, but b/c Kobe was snubbed the year before, they had to give it to him the next year so CP3 got snubbed.
Posted on 5/9/16 at 9:31 am to SPEEDY
Kobe over Cp3 was pretty bad
Posted on 5/9/16 at 9:32 am to SPEEDY
Several of these are very close and draw no objection from me. Value placed on certain stat lines obviously change over time.

1993 was the right choice. Barkley basically made Phoenix the Finals team and he was coming off the 92 Olympics. The Suns improved 9 games and won the Pacific from finishing 3rd the year before.

Yes, that's exactly what those examples were. I simply posted the players that had the higher PER and nothing else.
Posted on 5/9/16 at 9:38 am to SPEEDY
Speedy, should it be a MOP or a MVP award?
Posted on 5/9/16 at 9:39 am to SPEEDY
It's about more than just stats...
Because if statistics was the only qualifier, James Harden would have won last season.

2011 should have been Dwight not LeBron. Dwight absolutely deserved it that season.

You're trying too hard bro you don't know me like you think you do.
