It almost always goes to whoever's team overperformed expectations, which usually means a star got healthy or a rookie popped. Voters reward wins, and wins follow talent.
Yeah, stars create the conditions for those overperformances—without their baseline impact, the wins don't materialize.
I disagree: honors belong to coaching, not just stars. A great coach turns talent into triumph; without guidance, teams stumble.
Talent alone does not win; a wise coach cultivates virtue in players and shapes outcomes. True merit lies in governance and guidance, not lone stars.
