    I agree that MVP should go to the player who adds the most value, not just the one who excels in stats. Caitlin Clark elevated her teammates, she transformed the team, she got them to achieve what they could not achieve without her. Then there's the fact that her style of play, the combination of amazing passes and scoring from everywhere has awakened in the American public an interest in the WNBA that never existed before. I'm sure the powers that be don't want to award MVP based on celebrity, but it's been Caitlin's style of play, not her Instagram account, that has led to the surge of WNBA popularity. Caitlin has been most valuable to her team, and she has been most valuable to the WNBA

    Now if CC could just learn team defense.
    Of course, what that means is now if the Fever could acquire a coach who even understands what defense is and how to teach it, CC might be able to improve. Christie Sides is one of the worst WNBA coaches. Awful Coaching breaks down time after time how the Fever's defense is among the worst, and how it's due to incompetent coaching.
    Fever players consistently are lost on defense - even Lexi Hull, their best defender who works like a dog but is still often out of position.
    Sporadic breakdowns on defense are typically the players' fault, but the whole team always looking lost is bad coaching.

      The Fever need to hire Michael Cooper. Larry Bird said Cooper was the best defensive player he faced in his career. Then hire Dennis Rodman as an assistant. Those 2 would have the Fever putting chills down the spines of the rest of the league. Just let Rodman go to Vegas every couple weeks and he'll be there when he's needed. lol Seriously, MC would make a great coach for the Fever.

The only thing I’m interested in doing is watching Caitlin Clark and the fever play. They are the only games I watch or care about. The lack of professionalism that I have seen from the other teams and other team players against Caitlin Clark has convinced me that I could give a flying leap about any of the other teams or the Association as a whole. The player, the coaches, the refs…. They’ve all been horrible and petty.

    You're perfectly correct. However, if we limit MVP to only consider the player's personal, direct performance in defense and in scoring points, A'ja is the "best". Unfortunately, she also makes her team 'smaller' (this was particularly obvious during the Olympics). The team with her is less than the sum of her and the rest of her team. Clark is the opposite. She makes her team 'bigger'. The team with Clark is greater than the sum of Clark and the rest of her team. And I'll say another thing: - If Clark would concentrate on just personal scoring, she'd outscore A'ja in a jiffy!

      Very odd too if you look into each player on the Aces roster. Everyone is having down seasons. It's because the narrative last season was that Aja got robbed of MVP. So they really made sure she got hers this season, even at the detriment of her teams record and overall play. That's why you see them excel when she's off the floor, they actually play team ball without being forced to give Wilson the ball. My conspiracy side would say it was also a tactic to make sure the rookie didn't win it.

    1. Stats: individually as a rookie & in the WNBA.
    2. Influence on the game: Double - triple team, received the most fouls (incl flagrants).
    3. Impact: Increase in attendance in every game at home and on the road.
    4. Impact on the team: from below to 6th current standing & a playoff team, a floor general for every game both on her team and the All Stars.
    5. Consistency: Revitalizing, elevating & helping her team in wins.
    6. Narrative: TV Ratings, viewership, most talked in the media, children line up for autographs, popularity, increased ticket sales & price, change of venues.
    7. Marketability, increased sponsorships, major endorsements.
    8. Involvement in foundations.

      except the fact that the MVP gos to the player who was dominant from the beginning to the end of the season. He forgot to say CC only averaged about 11 PPG and was leading the league in turnovers and her defense was non existent. The award is for the whole season not half of it. CC will get hers and if it was of half a season award she gets my vote. but it's not. A'Ja was dominant beginning to end. She deserved it this year. CC will get plenty of these in the future.

      Not about league value, that's a separate thing. What I find odd is Clark broke more records than any player ever in a single season and she's a rookie doing it. She brought a team that's hadn't seen .500 basketball for 103 games straight out of the gutter. That alone makes her case very strong. Not to mention she lead the league in assists and 15-5-5 games. If you examine the Aces roster it's very odd all other players are having a down season. The way it looks is that Vegas believes Wilson was robbed last year in the MVP race. So they force fed her the ball to one make up for last year's snub AND prevent Clark from winning it.

You think the league would have gotten the good TV deal they just signed, or been able to take charter flights without her? No way! Every player in the league, even her haters - owe her!

What she has done with her team visibility has to be a team record in the woman’s game. This combine with team and league stats is the total package and why she is being called a generational player.

Has nothing to do with her being white or straight. Breanna Stewart is straight and white and an MVP. Turasi another white woman with MVP’s. Clark wasn’t as good as you think she is.

    If it was about the most highly contributing player to team success then Peyton Manning should have won the MVP in 2011 when he didn't play because of injury. The Colts went from 10-6 with him to 2-14 without him and then the Broncos went from 8-8 without him to 13-3 with him. He was OBVIOUSLY the most valuable player in the league as far as team success goes.

In head-to-head battles, it is a battle, then Wilson is a better and more seasoned player and is the MVP. In baseball, I admit I didn't watch the WNBA before Caitin, the most valuable player is determined by how well his team performed, usually, and sometimes I just had to hang my head down in disbelief of who MLB's MVP player was. Indiana Fever is here, it is the national team we new viewers want to watch and look forward to watching, and that is because of Caitlin Clark.

And then there's Caitlin's teammates who stand around doing nothing. That's because they mildly tolerate Caitlin. What stops Caitlin's teammates from hating her like everyone else is that people now know their names because of her, and due to the skyrocketing fan attendance, they're playing in front more eyeballs than in their entire careers! They like flying Charter, too. Another gift from Caitlin. Then lastly, there's the Fever coach. Terrible! The coach hasn't any idea how to coach a team in the most fundamentals. Phil Jackson could hand-pick 12 of the most mediocre WNBA players and their record would be 40-0.

      Ghetto Wilson gets special treatment from the woke wnba, and it's woke refs.
      Caitlin Clark is the real mvp, hands down!

    Life's not fair. She has had a massive target on her back this year and it would be even worst next year if she had won both ROY and MVP? Remember the league is dealing with emotional and at times irrational women who would cut off their own nose to spite their face.

    I compare turnovers in basketball to incomplete passes in football. The fault falls completely on the shoulders (or stats) of the passer when 2 teamates are involved in the play. How many times have we heard this, 'he should have caught that pass, there is no excuse'? Yet the receiver is not penalized, just the quarterback. If the quarterback is sacked for a loss, it is documented on the quarterback's stats. At the same time the fans are listening to the analysts and commentators describe the utter breakdown in protection of the O-line. In these examples all the stats should reflect where the actual problem occured, not the player responsible for only one part of the particular play. Baseball is the only sport that gets it right 95% of the time. Every fan everywhere is disappointed when a pitcher is throwing a 'No Hitter' and a fielder makes an error that loses the 'no hitter'. The stats should reflect the fact, in BOLD letters, that the third baseman cost his pitcher a 'perfect game'. There are playmakers in every team sport, but in most sports 1 player takes the hit for errors made by the entire team.
    Maybe 'the eyeball test' should hold more validity than it does when deciding awards.

    After this, i can see, they gave it to wilson for the same reason they gave it to embid. Cause the other contender was not only just white, but they were anything but black. So they said na, we need to give it to them
