Re: Define what the MVP should be...

Okay, I just looked up the efficiencies of past MVP's and where they ranked. All but 2 of the last 22 MVP's have finished in the top 7 in efficiency in the league. The only 2 were rather recent guys, and both are guards: Nash last season, and Iverson back in 00/01. In 18 of those 22 years, the MVP finished in the top 4 in the league in efficiency. Top 8 in efficiency this season along with the rankings of other possible MVP canidates:

1. Elton Brand
2. Kevin Garnett
3. LeBron James
4. Shawn Marion
5. Kobe Bryant
6. Dwyane Wade
7. Allen Iverson
8. Dirk Nowitzki
11. Tim Duncan
12. Steve Nash
24. Chauncey Billups


Chauncey Billups is the odd ball using the efficiency trend.
