Not every one shares your opinion. If the player in the league is on a last place team, how valuable was he? The team could finish last without him.The best player in the league is always the most valuable player.I do so love when you speak in absolutes. It highlights your massive stupidity.I'm not saying the best player is always the one who gets the award. But the best player was always the most valuable.

If deciding who was the MVP is as simple as you say, why do they have a vote? If I am a multi-millionaire and someone offers me $100 its not all that valuable to me. If I have $200 to my name and some offers me $100 than that $100 is very valuable to me. Value is relative, and value is different to different people.Value is not relative. The value of your home is X, regardless of your net worth. The value of a $100 bill is $100, regardless of your net worth.Value is always relative. If I offer a nice fresh refrigerator box for bronxcheer to live in, it has GREAT value, whereas to the rest of us, it's just a piece of cardboard. If MikeT has a signed Derek Jeter jockstrap, it has GREAT value to him, whereas to the rest of us non-Jeter-jock-sniffers, it's gross.The value of both of those things is the same regardless of who owns them.Wrong. And you keep being wrong. The amazing thing is that you are almost never right, which is hard to do.The dictionary says he's right and you're wrong. We're not going to talk you out of believing what you want to believe, but again, there is an objective answer here. The refrigerator box, in like new condition, is worth about $10. The jock is probably worth more than we'd like to admit at auction. But those numbers are what they are. Value is intrinsic by definition. It is not situational. Value has no context. Again, not just my take, it's the dictionary definition.
