Allen Iverson Live

The league announced Wednesday that fans can make their pick for the league’s Most Valuable Player, with the combined fans’ choice counting for one vote on the official ballot.

Starting Thursday through April 15, fans can go to www.NBA.com/KiaMVPFanVote and rank their top five choices. The other 124 votes will come from a panel of sports writers and broadcasters.

Of course, the NBA is not exactly crazy.  It’s just another marketing gimmick to spread the fanbase across the world.  If you take a closer look at the actual process, it’s just smoke and mirrors.  The player deemed by the fans as the MVP will get ONE overall vote.  The remaining 124 votes will be cast by writers and broadcaster as they have always done.

Interestingly enough, Allen Iverson is still on the ballot the last time I logged in and voted.  What does this mean?  That Allen Iverson could potentially get one overall vote for the NBA MVP, as crazy as that sounds.    Hey, why not?
