Looks like Yao is gonna get an MVP vote.

Lol, I'd say that's dumb, but it's not like it'll really change anything anyways.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

what is the closest mvp vote in history?

[Lebron23]

Kobe would win his 2nd NBA MVP trophy because he's the most popular player in Asia and Europe.

[BigTicket]

1 vote out of 125 ? What's the point of that ?

This will basically just be yet another internet poll on who the MVP is, no different from when ESPN or ISH does it.

[Trademan]

I'm voting for Bogut

[U got Served]

So whoever wins the poll gets one vote, from the fans. Great.....1/124. What's that like .8% of the votes?

I would prefer it to be more towards 25%, and we should get a vote on the other awards too (ROY, DPOY, MIP, 6th Man)

I think ISH should get their own vote as well. In fact, we should decide the MVP.
