Who votes? Is there a jury or it's public involved as well?
It's a small group of media members and they make some weird choices when the answer isn't obvious. For example, Steph Curry only won Finals MVP once out of his four titles and he was the most valuable player all four times.
So definitely a rugged election if media does it. Haha
I don't actually think it's rigged. You can tell from what they say on air that they're understanding of the game is pretty superficial.
It’s similar to the people who vote for all pro and vote a slot wide receiver for first team all pro tight end because he caught a lot of 7 yard passes. Meanwhile the best overall TE in the NFL is treated like mincemeat.
The best ability is availability, and he's never injured and he's always wide-ass open.
Jeanty is getting all his touches this year.
If Jeanty's playing well enough to justify that, then I'll happily take it.
I get so much joy out of this bowers vs kittle thing.
I'm glad you got to enjoy one season of them being even remotely comparable.
Media. They have a panel of basketball media assigned to vote.
It's usually pretty clear who should win MVP, but the voters definitely lean hard towards players from the winning team.
