Note to Riders: Please recruit Donte Nicholas for next season. He is such an asset. Pretty sure he wouldn’t play for scum Bit harsh! |

Really liked raiders defence in the last few minitrs of overtime and their inbound defence was pretty top drawer as well.

Donte Nicholas is league MVP absolutely no doubt!! Closest thing the Least he has seen to drew Sullivan since drew hung them up makes key decisions at key times and 9+ rebounds a game at 6 ft 4/5 plays far bigger then he is Also that was a game of two very good starting 5's could be top 4 starting 5s talent wise both teams lack bench depth!! Especially now we don't have Zac and have to start joonas If raiders could keep this core together get Zac back we can make a play off final!! The only thing that will cost us is our shooting!! Horrific 3 point shooting the big boys will punish that!! You don't get MVP when finishing 6th/7th. |

I think you should get MVP for most team of the week appearances DONTE I believe? Or for the best consistent stats DONTE I believe? Only player to get a triple double in the league 3 times? DONTE I believe? Not for what position your team finish in the league. After all it’s a personal achievement not a team. IMO

Averaging like no other player in the league hands down.
18.29 pts
7.42 ast
9.84 rbs
That’s enough but then..
1st in league in,
Steals,
Fouls on,
Free throws made (187) no one is anywhere near that number.
MVP ALL DAY

MVP ALL DAY I was tempted to award it (not in my power!) to Clayton at one point but I've been won over by Nicholas's performances. His versatility is one of his strongest assets. |

You don't get MVP when finishing 6th/7th. Lions winning their first ever league title? If Robinson is overlooked there's problems. Gotta disagree with you there Bigz, it a Lions player gets it itll be Tabb. Only once in BBL history has a player not finishing in the top 3 of the league got it and that was 1987. Donte is 100% the MVP in my eyes without him we finish 10th maybe lower. Crazy to think he was the 3rd/4th option last time he was with us |

So do you have your MVP from a high flying team who gets 20-25 minutes a game and puts up good figures sharing workload, and importance to the team, or someone like Donte playing 35 minutes putting up match winning figures and being an essential and vital player in a smaller squad? Difficult question.

I think the issue is people all have a different opinion on what MVP means. Most valuable to what? To the league? The team? The culture? So hard to nail it down to just one

Difficult question. If I could only choose from the top three “high flyers” I’d go with Tabb. |

He's providing value to make them an average team... Great. No point being a maverick if it doesn't help you win. |

Interesting debate, and without knowing the true definition of MVP, you’ve got to be looking at Nicholas, Clayton, Tabb and Robinson. They all have legit claims in different ways.

Consistency is also important, don't remember Tabb even being mentioned in Lions last game
