I don’t think enough research was put into this video.

[@gumguppy1123]

Hunter King I do agree that including those names and highlighting the other side could have made this video more comprehensive, but I think the point he was trying to make was that voters who are not taking the voting process seriously need to be exposed and held accountable.

[@theantif]

When it comes to the inconsistent ballots (PG13 2nd in MVP to Giannis but on 2nd Team NBA), the voters may be saying that KD and Curry are better than those who got the MVP votes, but because they played with each other that canceled out potential MVP votes. Bill Simmons said something similar on his podcasta fee months ago, it was something like Kyle Lowry could be 3rd in MVP voting but not make an All-NBA team. He might not be one of the six best guards, but he is so valuable to the Raptors he would get those votes. It comes down to there not being a consistent definition of "Valuable."

[@BasketballExamined]

So would you be ok with giving a player a 1st place MVP vote, but then have that same player on the All-NBA 2nd team?

[@theantif]

@@BasketballExaminedI would potentially be okay with it, but I don't think that it would ever happen. If it were to happen it would probably happen with the Center position cause there's only one per Team. Say the nuggets win 67-70 games and are the 1 seed in the west. Jokic puts up good numbers, but Embiid beats him in ever major statistical category. Jokic gets the MVP nod because Denver's system runs through him, but Embiid has the better individual season so he gets the 1st Team Vote. I would be okay with that situation.

[@leeqthe2nd721]

I think the main problem here is 2 fold. 1. The definition of value is completely different on who you ask. People say someone like Draymond is a very valuable player while playing 3rd of 4th fiddle on a team. Meanwhile Devin Booker is the only reason the Suns werent this years Warriors team. 2. Some of these guys are very biased. Chicago reporter voting in a Chicago guy, Spurs reporter voting in the Spur, and an OKC reporter voting in a Thunder player. I think they need to remove voters who have shown biases so there can be a more fair vote.

[@omerbilgin7088]

I understand that your whole premise is that if a voter selects 5 players for the MVP you want to see them all in 1st or 2nd team all-NBA regardless of position. The one thing people would contest in your approach is that you put equal weight on 1st Team voting and MVP voting. People might argue these two have different criteria. Call it recency bias or voter’s fatigue or ‘small market teams not getting enough coverage or exposure’.. For example, Gasol won DPOY in the past without being selected to 1st team all-defense. *Yes, that was inconsistent as well.*

[@mishagelenava2962]

The research level on this video is amazing.

[@Player_Review]

Indeed. At least since the change in eligibility requirements for voters to exclude local broadcast sports commentator folks, bc bias concerns. The voters often don't watch the games and/or are just media personalities, so one can't expect they've watched smaller market teams play at all outside of highlight clips and they get their info from staff/analysts and the stats. Not watching the players in games, a lot is lost that the old eyeballs observe beyond the aggregate statline. That is my worthless opinion and I haven't kept up, but last I did, I found the Player's Choice Awards to best reflect the realities.

[@tjcrouch7621]

The media isn't responsible for the CBA decision to reward money based off of voting results. The money shouldn't factor into their voting process at all. The players aren't losing any money based off of media decisions, they're only losing out on potential money.

I kind of understand things like putting Damian Lillard 5th on MVP voting, but putting Steph Curry on All NBA 1st team. Damian Lillard, in terms of value for his team, showed how valuable he is, but you could say Steph Curry is the player you'd rather have on your team and that he was the better player. You could say for example that Steph Curry wasn't as valuable to his team because they had more weapons on that Warriors team, but that he was still the better player. Remember, MVP is not necessarily the best player, it's Most "Valuable" Player.
