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
The Formula
Score = (PPG × 3.5) + (RPG × 1.2) + (APG × 2.5) + (TS% × 40) + (PER × 1.5) + (Win% × 50) + (Seed Bonus) + (Stocks/36 × 2.0) + (± × 0.5) + (MPG × 0.3) + (GP × 0.5)Rankings update automatically as new game data is processed. Week-over-week changes are tracked to show momentum shifts.
