Nailed it!!!!! Some players also worthy of All MB team are:
Billal Abbassi
AMP ( surprised he wasn’t mentioned)
Anwar
Waqas
Difficult to put together the top 15 players of this season but I wouldn’t argue with this collection.

Being that I finished top 3 in both blocks and rebs, I am going to have to nominate myself to be put on the DPOY list haha. Unorthodox, I know.

@kurat_salla Thank you for putting in the time to create one of these. The league should have awards such as this to get some more player’s names out there for their hard work as well. I hardly post so let me just go ahead and thank MB, Malik, Bilal, and whoever else that kept the forums fun and exciting. Thank you guys and let’s have playoff time ;)

Lmfaooo disrespect is real, I get double and triple teamed every game and still put up amazing numbers and taking my team to next round in playoffs. Teams fear me and I aint on any of these lists, what a joke . Have fun gassin each other while I ball for real.

No one double or triple teams you cause they think you’re nice, they double and triple cause they know for a fact you’re not passing that rock. Keep hogging it and enjoying your “amazing numbers”.

I respect your high field goal percentage, no doubt ✊. I got a question though, how many playoff games you won? Ball hogging won’t get you far when it comes to dubs.

As said earlier; thank you to those that post regularly on this forum... at first I believed it was designated people’s jobs to do so, such as the power rankings, given this is the most expensive league I’ve played in.... I’ve come to understand that is not the case, as I’ve recognized many of the contributors as tops players in the league... with that said, this league has been worth every penny; from the stats to the hard work put in by the league administrators, to the refs who truly try to be as fair as possible. I know they take a lot of heat, but officiating 10 players with 2 is not an easy job. If anything they are understaffed, but then league fees would be higher to get a third ref...


On to the matter at hand... I see you guys did put Aytac Malta up on the third team, and I understand it’s hard to gauge MVP considerations and ALL MB teams by simply looking at the stats, but that is the only way to judge really... if you had a chance to watch our teams games, you would understand that Aytac really is such a key piece to our team. We indetify as a defensive squad, and no one embodies that more than Mr Malta. He got on third team only for his scoring (shooting), rebounding, and blocks/steals... what doesn’t show up is his engine and hustle. Aymen is a great player and perennial all star in this league, and for that reason I think Aytac gets overlooked, but make no mistake, Aytac is the best player on our team, for the most part... Tac, your consistency needs to be better, Aymen has the edge there... this all depends on how the voters choose to look at the MVP discussion... is it the guy averaging the best numbers or is it the best player on the best team?? Either way I’m glad y’all put him on the third team, but I have him as a first teamer (granted I have not watched all teams players, and am slightly biased) AMP you are a great offensive player, you need not feel slighted... when was MVP given to a player on a non winning team? Maybe in baseball that would fly... also I understand a lot of great players have not showed up for every game, in the end this is just a game and people need to live their lives. I feel we have (SUBA) have had an advantage there, with our attendance

Looking forward to testing our team these playoffs and am expecting every other teams’s attendance to be raised a level. Obviously winning is fun, but even if we weren’t undefeated, I’ve never had more fun playing this game as I have had this season, with my group of guys...

Thank you to all; my team, the competition, Mr commissioner, the stat guys (How much do I need to give you guys for a few extra points?? Geez!) and the refs! Long live Muslim Basketball!

-Carlos Gomez (raised Catholic, more of a religious non-believer these days)

Thanks for those sentiments Carlos. I will testify to Aytac's intensity, and overall Suba's intensity. Our only loss was to you guys and yall held me scoreless. I'm really looking forward to a rematch and I'm hoping the stars align and we meet in the championship game...


Also, they forgot one award: Rookie of the Year.


My pics would be Pete Brown (winner), Salim Laib, Shafic Itani, Tim Brown, Jose Lora, and the true rook (16 years old) Hamza Ahmed from Kabul.

Thanks for your feedback. Here is the explanation for me picking Abdelhadi over Patrick for MVP:

Patrick's stats:
32.7 ppg (1st)
10.7 rpg (11th)
5.7 asp (1st)
0.0 bpg (n/a)
3.71 spg (1st)
1.71 tpg

Abdelhadi's stats:
23.4 ppg (3rd)
16.4 rpg (2nd)
2.6 asp (not in top 10)
1.4 bpg (5th)
1.4 spg (not in top 10)
1.75 tpg

They both hover around 48% field goal percentage so I give the slight advantage to Patrick in scoring here. Although Patrick is a very good rebounder, Abdelhadi rebounds at a much higher rate than him. Advantage Abdelhadi. Patrick is an underrated distributer and showed it this season with 5.7 assists to Abdelhadi's 2.6. Both Patrick and Abdelhadi make their presence felt on defense, Pat with steals (1st in league) and Abdelhadi with blocks (5th in league).

As you can see, there is not that much of a disparity in their number. Now if we look at their respective strengths of schedule (which we def. should given such a small sample size of games) Abdelhadi has the advantage here. Some of Patrick's numbers may have been inflated due to playing Jerusalem, Alexandria, Cairo, Cordoba and Fez, a combined record of 11-39. Abdelhadi played 3 sub-500 teams, Fez, Alexandia and Cairo. He also single-handedly took out a full Sarajevo team.

These are the reasons I chose Abdelhadi over Patrick. I'd like to read your analysis on why Pat should win it.

Thanks

It is borderline comical that you listed all of those stats and then follow it with "as you can see, there is not that much of a disparity in their numbers." In what world is averaging 32.7 and averaging 23.4 not much of a disparity? That is a HUGE difference. Then you say averaging 16.4 rebounds and 10.7 rebounds is a "much higher rate." Why didn't you use that verbiage when talking about every other stat line? Probably because rebounding and blocks are the only things the 6'4" player has on the 6' player.

Listen man, it is clearly a bias decision, which is 100% cool. We aren't here for our player to win MVP. Believe me, this post isn't taking ANYTHING away from Mo. Dude KILLED it this season, but saying the reason you gave it to Mo is because we played Cordoba and Jerusalem is silly (I mention those two teams because the other teams you mentioned Kabul played as well). We did not have the chance to play Sarajevo because they forfeited. Also, instead of writing not top 10, you can put 42nd (assists) and 51st (steals).

Good luck to all during the playoffs! Should be fun as always!
