Career MVP shares

[tpols]

Does this give a good all time list?

MJ 8.1
KAJ 6.2
Bird 5.7
Lebron 5.4
Magic 5.2
Russell 4.8
Shaq 4.4
Karl Malone 4.3
Wilt 4.3
Duncan 4.3
Kobe 4.2
David Robinson 3.1
Moses 2.9
KG 2.7
Bob Petit 2.6
Hakeem 2.6
Big O 2.4
Barkley 2.4
Nash 2.4
West 2.0
Durant 2.0
Dirk 1.9
Baylor 1.7
Iverson 1.5
McaDoo 1.5

Aside from Karl Malone and Nash, looks like a decent list. Karl is the only player in the top 17 without any rings though.. so his regular season success doesnt match his postseason. Nash of course won two flukish ones and didnt really compete on a regular basis.

Everyone seems to be grouped right where they usually are.. also the biggest gap occurs between the top 10-11 players of all time.. theres a clear 1.0 schism there between them and the next group

No dumb idea this underrates the playoff monsters like Shaq, Hakeem and Dirk

MJ got robbed for like 3 MVP's and he's still #1 by far...

93 shouldve been Hakeems and MJ robbed Karl Malone in 98

How are "MVP shares" calculated, exactly? Not familiar with this stat.

Hakeem and Dirk I agree.. because they made their names with one or two playoff runs.. but Shaq is ranked 7.. right where he normally is.

Malone robbed Jordan in 97, so it works out.

You get 0 to 1 MVP shares per season. The more dominant your season the closer the percentage is to 1. So if you have 4 super unanimous MVPs you should have close to 4 MVP shares.. if its close race you might have 2 or 3 or something. Thats what Im getting from it.

Basically the better you finish each year the better your 'share' is.

KAJ fluke.

Apart from that, good list.

Um, no.

MJ most definitely got robbed in '89, '90, '93, and '97. Shaq was the most statistically impactful player in 1998 but missed too many games, and underperformed with a really stacked roster.

Jordan led the Bulls under more difficult circumstances missing his 2nd best player for half the season. I think that's why his '98 MVP was deserved.

MJ had .70, .62, .57, and .83 in those 4 seasons. So its not like he got no credit.


Hell, MJ got a larger MVP share in 97 when he lost than he did in 88 when he won.

You've tried that 'Kareem sucks' joke countless times in different ways, it's just not landing buddy. Try something new.

Overall a decent measure.

I think Career MVP shares comes closest to ranking the players all time of any single statistical measure.

Regular season monsters like Karl Malone are overrated by this measure, and guys who raise their level of play during the playoffs are underrated.

Also the problem of nash, who didnt deserve his to MVPs. Also the Nash mvps were in relatively weak years. So weak era players are also given a boost.
