Players know who truly wrecks game plans and carries pressure. They feel the MVP impact up close, not from a ballot narrative or a spreadsheet.
Players should vote, period. They are the ones sweating on the court and getting cooked by the real MVP, not some dude with a press pass.
Players alone see who actually dominates games and lifts teammates under real pressure.
Let the fans pick the MVP; the crowd's sense of merit keeps the game honest and true to virtue.
