I think the word tanking might be getting a little overused in recent discussions. For my part, i've been focusing more on training than trying to win the title so haven't had as strong a roster as i have in past seasons but i was still in finals contention and could have finished as high as 3rd but clearly wasn't going to beat mllama's squad this season and decided to drop to 5th instead for obvious reasons. This only happened in the last couple of weeks of the season though, was competitive throughout the majority of the regular season and Cup. Most 'tanking' teams might as well be a bot team for most of the season.

A big man wins the MVP, what a shocker! :P

I reckon my Alexey Berestetskiy was unlucky to not even feature on the list even though i had a dismal W-L record.

4th in scoring on 22.4 PPG
4th in rebounding on 13.9 per

No doubt he shouldnt have got close to winning but shows their must definetly be W-L record in the criteria for MVP cause surely he was top 19 worthy!

Manfrotto the MVP in a winning team had

2nd in scoring on 22.8 PPG
6th in reb on 13.1 per

Just my 2 cents but from my experience, I don't recall ever seeing an MVP winner from a team falling outside the top 4. I think that is a massive criteria but I'll wait for someone who can be bothered to prove that theory wrong.

The lowest team position/record I've seen for an MVP was our winner this season, from TeamAkuma. He finished in 4th with an 11-11 record. Had he dropped to 5th I believe he wouldn't have won.

I agree but I also say well done to Antonio Manfrotto and the Lewisham Wombats. I am pleased that Gary Lawrance made 5th and was even able to get some best votes. I don't think I have ever seen so many players getting votes, maybe a tribute to the number of stars in the ABBL this season.

Glad to see big Antonio get the mvp, he was huge for me this season - 65% fg is massive.

As for leszek getting 2nd - lol.

One only needs to look at this season's mvp to see how massive team record is - none outside the finals even picked up a vote.

Ozel was surely a little unlucky not get some votes

I guess the fact the HA finished outside the finals might have been a contributing factor

I'd much rather the system encourages such teams to have a 550K - 600Kish roster, be competitive, earn a small profit, and if they relegate, so be it - they still go down with a bit of cash.


that is what i did this season & despite losing that last game of the season still had lots of fun & enjoyed my time here w all of u

so im going back down but ive still got my fishy pride cause i didnt do any of the "broken" things about the game

no rentals

no tanking

no look inside

no 5 man roster w gs training

& 1 victory off surviving lol

abbl

ive ben there & 4ever it ill smell a little bit like fish :P

Kind of hoping that my 1st draft pick is half decent and is actually the best player in the draft.

Kind of have a habit at not getting the best out of drafts despite the massive investments
