Of course, I'm not saying they're robots.
To be honest, I don't really care for these awards. They don't mean a cotdamn thing. No matter who votes on the awards there's always going be some level of bias. The media will always be closer to the truth though.

Explain to me why it's an idiotic statement?This is an idiotic statement
I don't have an issue with this but ive gotta laugh at the idea that players aren't going to be just as biased as media members are (LeBron could average 40/15/15 and still not get Joakim Noah's vote). Not to mention you'll get the same issue of guys being more familiar with the players in their division as opposed to the entire league. I mean, how much ball do you think the average player is watching when he's not playing?
But I'm in for it and I wish it was a public vote just for the fukkery with guys who have legitimate MVP candidates on their team but still decide to vote for someone else (Kevin Love).

Yet they play 82 games in a season.......
they play against each other a minimum of 2x each season.
Personally would they? Absolutely. I don't think anybody would dispute that. But the fact of the matter is, most of these players don't know and don't give a fukk about what's going around all with the 29 other teams in the league. They've got their own lives to live. They're not sitting down in putting as much stock into how players are playing week-in week-out like the media and fans do.

So you're more qualified to judge a player's WHOLE season by playing one to two games against them, than a person who watches 80+% of these games across an entire season?
Sounds about right.

Interesting nonetheless
That would be the worse option out of all.

They'd have to have the anonymous player on Twitter tweeting about every selection like with the NFL Top 100. Imagine the amount of fukkery that could ensue
