Why Our Rankings Are Different

Traditional MVP coverage relies on media narratives and subjective opinions. Our algorithm eliminates bias by processing real performance data through a weighted formula that captures what actually matters for MVP consideration—including team success, which historically plays a major role in voting.

Production Metrics

  • Points per game (PPG)
  • Rebounds per game (RPG)
  • Assists per game (APG)

Team Success

  • Team Win Percentage — winning matters
  • Conference Seed Bonus — top seeds get rewarded

Efficiency

  • True Shooting % (TS%) — scoring efficiency
  • Player Efficiency Rating (PER)

Impact

  • Stocks per 36 min — defensive impact
  • Plus/Minus — on-court impact

Rankings update automatically as new game data is processed. Week-over-week changes are tracked to show momentum shifts.
