Generic MVP thread

By Tangotiger, 07:10 PM

This is useful for now until eternity, for all leagues.

1 [blank player] is the front runner because his team is challenging for the playoffs
2 [blank player] would be considered the front runner, if only his teammates were better
3 [blank player] should be considered, but he plays a position not normally considered
4 [blank player] is always in the running every year
5 [blank player] shouldn’t be considered, but he has alot of flashy numbers

So, there you go.  Every single article you read about the MVP will follow the formula.  Feel free to add other generic statements.  Then, in the future, people can just call out numbers like ordering from a chinese restaurant.

Oh, if there is ANY unique MVP article out there, please link to it.
