Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 3471994, member: 1674"] I think Best Player and MVP are largely synonymous, especially in baseball where one player can't really impact the team's fortune THAT much. Like the fact that the Angels have sucked for so long isn't Trout's fault; he's been the best player in baseball. Just so happens that there's a lot of other players that have to contribute and fail to do so. One individual player can impact the team's record in basketball far more in baseball, so I get why winning is considered as one of many criteria for MVP in basketball. In the case of this particular season, pretty much any criteria that you use would point to Giannis as the MVP and that wouldn't be any different if you were simply trying to name who played the best this season.
