If you're saying 2 players on Mombasa should be considered for MVP, then it's 2 thingz:
1) You're bias lol. (which is cool, you should be for your teammates)
2) They're not the most VALUABLE players, because you'll be a contender without either 1 of them whereas Kazan for example will not be without Pat. They might be considered for best players in the league, just not most valuable player.

With that being said, I don't think I should be on this list cause my team will still be a contending team even without me, but I appreciate the love and I'll take it lol.

He could only recognize 5 people in this post though, so maybe the other players deserve recognition, but not everyone can be recognized in the MVP Ladder. I'm pretty sure everybody can come and name a player on their team...

Forget about me, I’m being unbiased here. Let’s say me and Kenny aren’t on that level, neither is Raza, Pat, or Abdelrahman. So I guess we’re now looking at tier 2? And whoever does these rankings thinks me and Kenny are on top of tier 2... well he has me in front of Abdul, but you get my point.

chrisTEX's MVP Ladder

Just giving my two cents to keep the forums live again! Here are my choices for MVP candidates in order:

1. Pat Jaramillo

Fan-man fan-man yeahhhh that's meee!!! (Shoutout to @hahadavis) Call me a homer for having Pat #1, but clearly I am not the only one who thinks that. He is averaging 22 ppg, 9.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1 steal a game. Those numbers sound great, but what if I were to tell you they are all career lows? That isn't a shot at Pat, more just to show how consistent he has been for Kazan since joining MB. Kazan is consistently a top contender, and Pat is obviously the main reason for it.

2. Abdul Mutaleb Popal

I am not sure how this guy isn't higher on the list. "Abdul never wins." Well we can't use that excuse anymore. His team is sitting pretty in 2nd place with a 17.3 average point differential. Leading the league in scoring by a lot at 28.3 ppg. No reason why Abdul shouldn't be top 3 on anyone's list.

3. Raza Nassim

This guy can get to the rack at will. He is one of the best floor generals in the league, and his team is always somewhere near the top of the standings, with this year being no exception. Not as many people are talking about Mombasa being that there are so many good teams this season, but nobody wants to play them in the playoffs.

4. Abdelrahman Moustafa

Hands down the ROY. This kid is averaging 19.5 points 4.3 rebounds 6.3 assists 2.7 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. Not only is he top 5 in ppg, he is leading the league in assists by a significant margin. Granted, Tehran is 3-4, but if we are talking about the value someone brings to a team, this guy needs to be mentioned.

5. Mujtaba S.

How dare I do a MVP ladder without mentioning the golden child!! What I love about Muj is not only that he is a great player, but he is genuinely a nice guy. He is the Larry Fitzgerald of MB. He is also averaging awesome numbers as always.

How can you say Raza, Pat or Abdelrahman aren't?

1. Pat's avg 22 points 9 boards
2. Raza avg 20 points @ 52% 6 boards 3 apg
3. Abdelrahman 19 points @ 51% 6 apg

Now we have you at 14 points @ 42% 5 boards. Let's just use you as the example, you're behind in points and whatever second highlight you'd like to pick between rpg, apg, etc.

I think it's pretty evident there are some other players that may have more valid statistics.

Compare yours to lets say Moayad whom isn't even mentioned. he's averaging 17ppg @ 48% 5 boards. He's averaging more points then you at a better percentage and the same amount of rpg. So what makes you more deserving then him or any of the aforementioned players that you say aren't elite.

You also have Steve Netti who averages just as many points as you and similar fg pct but averages 10 rpg. Another player that at this point in time i wouldn't put your stats in front of.

I read that, but figured it was easy just to use you as an example. MBR includes a rating based on past seasons doesn’t it? I’m not quite sure how that works but it’s the leagues way of evaluating players. Defense also isn’t that much of a factor in the MVP race. Stats are the first thing to look at, teams achievement, also the importance of the player and degree of dependency the team has toward the player

I believe MBR considers the stats (ofc with respect to team) covered over the past 30 games. To which ur point would be valid. I’d definitely have either bilal or Anas on my top 5 though, both have really carried the load on a competitive team.

AMP #1 on my list! Guy is frying

And Frank O easily mid-season DPOY !
