What's to say that Griner won't come back and pick up where she left off. If no one passes her in points will she be put back at the top as the leading scorer. I'd have to look up the # of games she would need to play in order to qualify for MVP. |
There's no minimum qualification. However, no player has won MVP when missing more than three games in the season.

| As long as the mercury continue to lose basketball games,Griner is still a top 3 mvp candidate.Hypothetically,If phoenix goes winless during Griner's absence(0-10),While going something like 15-9 in the games that she plays,i'd strongly consider giving Griner a 2nd place mvp vote behind Fowles.

| Tina willed her team to a near upset of the #1 team on the road. Even when she wasn't scoring in the third quarter, her presence alone made it possible for everyone else to score. Interesting that Canadace Parker only shot over 50% in a season three times in her career and only once in an MVP season. Last year people said Nneka was the MVP about midseason because she was gonna break Tamika Raymond's field goal percentage and that the Sparks were gonna finish #1. Neither happened..I'm just saying yo! If Candace led the league in scoring and rebounding and had her team in third place, ppl would wet their shorts ten times over..this year Tina's still putting up comparable numbers and has her team in the mix..sixth right now but could sneak into third by the end. But it won't matter. She'll never get a fair crack again at MVP.

Well not this year because shes not the Most valuable player of this league. Her team is 6th place going 4-6 in there last 10 games. Sylvia is actually contributing to victories which is a big factor in being considered an MVP. Tina is Top 3 imo but not #1 and has not been none this season.

Team record has nothing to do with it. Lauren Jackson won MVP in 2003 and her team didn't even make the playoffs. I've been quiet this year, but she's been balling this whole season. PS..Syl might not even be the own MVP of her own team. This could be a repeat race of Tee and Nnek all over again

I'd think that if she comes back playing at the same level she was before the injury, is still the leading scorer in the league and her team has lost enough games for them to drop in the standings that would prove that she is the mvp. If it is not a requirement that the mvp not miss more than 3 games in the season why should that even be a consideration. Just asking. Or is it that they just give the mvp to whomever they want to.

SDhoops have you not watched this season yesterday was maya's 1st good game of the season and sykes just started playing good.
Syl is and has been the clear winner for MVP all season and now with BG out its damn near locked
while ROY might be up for grabs if sykes keeps up her numbers as long as gray can put up decent numbers she will win because her "body of work"

I agree, Maya was shooting a career low from the field this season up till recently. Fowles was winning them games so they got away with her having a down year. Her catching fire would mean big trouble for the rest of the league

Sylvia has been the most consistent player on the best team all season no contest.
Or just a Great 2 to 3 week stretch ?
