I am kind of tired of this whole MVP talk.

Why not just find an easy formula to find THE guy.

I could be either one of the following two criteria:

1. Best player on the team with the best record.
2. Player with the best overall stats.

Because it is about one player, it should be the player with the best overall stats, regardless whether his team is successful or not. The whole MVP thing is stupid anyway, because basketball is not an individual sport. It's a team sport. So why do we need to find out who's the most valuable player, when a team could be most successful without him?
