This makes no sense. Let's put this in perspective...

If you take your sales team from $1 million in sales to $1.2 million...

and I take my sales team from $200K to $800K...

you're a more valuable salesman to your team than I am to mine?

Nobody has answered this question.

All Jerry did is dispute that Love outperformed Lebron that year, which I agree with...for the 3rd time. What I'm trying to do is understand the madness behind what you guys think makes an MVP.

So who is more valuable to his team? The guy who generates $600K in sales, or the guy who generates $200K?

If you really want to nitpick the word valuable, shouldn't it go to the player who gets paid the least that you get the most out of? I have no idea who makes how much money but someone like Aldridge probably doesn't make too much but outperforms his contract? Maybe he's a bad example.

Interesting point, and you can take it there if you want, but I view it as total value, not bang for buck. Like the value of a stock is what it is, regardless of what you paid for it.

When you say without Love the Twolves would be 0-82, yes.

I didn't actually say they would have won 0 games. I asked a hypothetical question. I also have already explained that it was a thought exercise, but here I am again telling you that I don't actually think Love takes them from 0 to 40.

Ok fine, The Heat go 0-82 without LBJ while the Twolves go 0-82 without Love, who's more valuable? Thought exercise.

Timberwolves would have been the worst team of all time without him.

Just so we're on the same page....

If the Heat would win 40 without Lebron and the win 60 with him...

and the T-Wolves win 0 games without Love and 40 with him...

You are saying Lebron is more valuable to his team than Love is to his?

Ok so you said if. We're using hypotheticals now? How can you assume Love makes that much of a difference? Lebron actually did make that much difference in Cleveland though.

What does this have to do with Love and LBJ?

Are you really asking this question or are you messing with me? How do you not follow?

It has nothing to do with Love and LBJ. I'm asking about what you perceive as valuable to a team. The LBJ and Love hypothetical was just an example to facilitate the conversation about what makes an MVP.

Just substitute players X and Y. Forget I said anyone's name cause the names don't matter.
