You'd better...or I'm gonna start having my players take out your team's knees like Houston does to Golden State.

MVP is rigged

I feel like rigged would imply that there is a rhyme or reason for the result. I think they're just drunk voters.

Highly possible. It would be fun to know what the intention is in the engine for selecting players. I think "best player best team" is far oversimplified but perhaps. For this season, to be completely fair Pujol did keep up with Moo mostly stats-wise. He was right there with scoring and rebounding (benefitted from a slow start) and had some solid assists too. He did lose his spot at the end of the season and got dominated in the playoffs, so no exaggerations. France probably should have gotten it with those great efficiency stats.

Who is the real MVP though?

Real MVP is the player who makes the biggest difference for a team. Most VALUABLE not most stats. I thought France deserved it, he destroyed any matchup he came across.

In reality, the MVP voting should be more like the NBA where 10 players from 8 teams got votes and where a player putting up big enough numbers for a loser can still get votes from time to time (like Kevin Love in 2014). To think that not one of the three stat monsters on my team got even a single vote is a bit odd to me. McCloud put up huge numbers, Churchill led the league in rebounds while putting up about 18 a night and Bosyakov was #2 in assists and #10 in scoring. McCloud was also 2nd in blocks and 10th in steals. If a guy averaged 15.6, 10.1, 5.2 with 2.1 BLK and 1.7 STL in the NBA, he would get at least one 5th place vote.

Oriol Pujol will recieve his MVP trophy before tipoff of game 2 in the D IV.11 championship series in Saturday, but he will be joined by several other award winners, which the BB league has neglected for the 34th straight season.

My Condors put up some numbers this year, but they didn't translate to wins against the top teams. Maybe with another year of seasoning, Jett will be able to pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Love this list, looking forward to another season with you in the league. By the looks of it, you and I will be in IV.11 for a long time, so I hope to continue seeing your thoughtful and entertaining reports!

So long everyone, been a pleasure! Best of luck to all!

Congrats. Do us proud in the big leagues

Thank God you're gone! We needed to even out this league a bit, so sending you guys up a division helps the rest of us out. Good luck in DIII, you won't be missed here!
