Is it better to leave things the way they are, or to let other people vote for MVP?

Let's let the coaches vote, since they did such a great job picking the All-Star reserves.

Players and coaches. The media sucks and the fans would make it a popularity contest.

1/3 GM's
1/3 Coaches
1/3 players or team captains

Maybe have it where you are not aloud to vote for someone one your own team.

Only the reserves usually, which the fans get no say in.

Still, having the fans vote is a bad idea. Then again, so was letting the media vote.

There needs to be a definition of the "best player" before that can happen.

:rofl:

This is tough. I don't think I have an answer.
Imo, the media has greater coverage of the league but it certainly has some bias against certain players in the league. Meanwhile, coaches might be a little more objective but they don't see everything about the league.

If the specific player were to be removed from their team, that team's production would drop CONSIDERABLY.


My vote: 1)Chris Paul 2) Lebron James

That is still arbitrary. I mean, how do you know who's team production would drop off CONSIDERABLY if a said player never misses time to find out?
