(Obviously talking on the general level here, not about the MVP selection only.)

What is the logic behind that? Kobe would sell millions of tickets even if he was in France or China....while Dirk sells out Dallas everynight even though he is German. I think a star is a star no matter what nationality...people will pay to see good players period.


Trust me it makes a difference, ask how many Pheonix jersey's in Canada don't have Nash on the back! And if he had signed with the Raptors he would easily become the most popular Rap of all time. It is a hard ticket to get, and the scalpers charge just a little bit more than normal for it.

Yes, but if Steve Nash went to play in Italy tons of people would also come out to watch and pay more to see him. Superstars bring audiences no matter what country they are in.

As you are not playing your best players as start players twice a week as well as you might play them out of position for both game shape and training reasons the MVP award could actually be to a pretty average player. -- -- For such reason I think that the MVP award are not reasonable to use as a criteria for sponsor money and similar issues.

That, however, would essentially be a strategic choice: do you go for the maximum benefit from training or sponsors/merchandising. Generally, a choice which is obvious (such as, go for maximum training AND sponsor money VS. choose to not take money from training and/or sponsors) is not a real choice and adds absolutely nothing to the game. It's better to not have such options available since they only make the interface more cluttered which is bad especially for those who spend little time in the game. (Of course, some choices may be simply for fun and are therefore beneficial to the game.)

Overall, I think it would make the game more fun if there was a stronger incentive to play your top guys night in, night out. Balancing training minutes, game shape, and often playing your best players out of position is a challenge, which shouldn't be removed altogether, but there should perhaps be better options to that model.


It is tough to compare this situation to the real world, because stars start every game that counts in the real world, but this would cause game shape issues in
BB. I think a solution here would be to wieght per minute stats heavier than per game stats. This way the higher quality guys would have an easier path to the all-star game and MVP. We would also see less bot player filled AS games at the lower levels. The right guys getting to the show.

usually it goes like this (just example):
player X plays 35min, his rating is 11
player X plays 15min, his rating is 12+
he is not a star if he plays just 15min but his stats are better that player who plays 35min. can you imagine playing Kobe just 15minutes?

then he is not a star if he plays 15min, ok if he playes about 35min in average per game, then i could accept him as MVP contender, not less than 33min.
BB`s should look into it, and also they could make All-star MVP`s, because if they make like NBA, then dont skip this fun part (probably i would won last years all-star mvp :D)

i often try a 1 times starter and 1-2 times backup strategy for a long time(especially for the training. In the end till the ASD you often have very strong player who just play 2 minute, because it is contraproduktive to let then play longer especially with the cup.

But would he outdraw Andrea Bargnani?

I think if you put the game in a soccer (futbol) stadium that seated 80,000 fans... Nash would bring more people to the game than Bargnani even in Italy.

Both of them would sell out any normal sized basketball arena (18,000-25,000).

Even in the states....Dirk Nowitski is going to sell out an arena before Stephan Jackson, Stephan Marbury, Ray Allen even or some other guy (non superstar) that is from America.
