NBA Awards so far

I can see how that works

You can see how faulty it is too I suspect.

How could that formula be faulty

Aside from the obvious lack of minutes anywhere in the equation?

Well that might make it a little fairer for the people who produce in very little playing time.

((PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) - ((FGA - FGM) + (FTA - FTM) + TO)) / G

I think a better one (if still flawed) would be:

((PP48 + RP48 + AP48 + SP48 + BP48) - (FGAP48 - FGMP48) + (FTAP48 - FTMP48) + TOP48)) / G

Old Scale (through 12-13-2002):
Kevin Garnett - 29.9
Kobe Bryant - 27.5
Tracy McGrady - 27.5
Tim Duncan - 25.2
Ben Wallace - 21.8
Grant Hill - 20.4
Allen Iverson - 18.6
Jerry Stackhouse - 17.5
Rip Hamilton - 16.4
Michael Jordan - 14.5
Amare Stoudemire - 12.6
Stromile Swift - 12.1

New Scale:
Grant Hill - 1.64
Kevin Garnett - 1.53
Tracy McGrady - 1.53
Tim Duncan - 1.36
Ben Wallace - 1.32
Kobe Bryant - 1.31
Stromile Swift - 1.23
Rip Hamilton - 1.18
Michael Jordan - 1.04
Jerry Stackhouse - 0.995
Amare Stoudemire - 0.96
Allen Iverson - 0.91

While this formula puts too much emphasis on missed shots, it does give a better representation of how a player is using their time on the court.

Though a better solution might be:
(((PP48) - ((FGAP48 - FGMP48) + (FTAP48 - FTMP48)/2)) + ((RP48 + AP48 + SP48 + BP48) - (FP48/2 + TOP48))) / G

Now Scale Gives:
Grant Hill - 1.62
Kevin Garnett - 1.52
Tracy McGrady - 1.499
Tim Duncan - 1.35
Kobe Bryant - 1.29
Ben Wallace - 1.28
Stromile Swift - 1.18
Rip Hamilton - 1.10
Michael Jordan - 0.99
Jerry Stackhouse - 0.97
Allen Iverson - 0.91
Amare Stoudemire - 0.88

One flaw I see is in the Assists/Blocks/Steals part. Turnovers should subtract from Assists and Fouls from Blocks/Steals. I'll test it later. Even though there's nothing that reduces Rebounds importance. But I have some other solutions up my sleeve.

If you're worried about missed shots you could always multiply points by the field goal percentage. That way an Iverson-like 30 points on 30% shooting would be roughly equivalent to a Shaq/Ming-like 20 points on 50% shooting. You'd have to change the formula up but that might be better.

U said 3th place MVP = Gary Payton, so what is he doing on the 2nd team, U placed Iverson over payton so that doesnt make sense

I changed my MIP vote to Desmond Mason and Richard Hamilton because of their massive jumps in every category. (Rip is playing better in fewer minutes, some Jordan factor )

i'm was never really sure about this, so i figured i'd put out here:

for the all rookie team and i guess for the rest of them all great at something teams:

does the nba put together the team by position or just by the best 5, regardless the position?

ya...for the rook team it's the best 5....not position wise...

Where is Doug Christie's love? He's leading the league in steals. I believe he deserves more than defensive 2nd team
