Hockey.

I like how in the NHL awards are not given until after the playoffs.

I honestly can't tell you whether the voting is done before, after or during the NHL playoffs, but its a good concept if after.

If right now I asked you; who is the 2007 NBA MVP based on Oct 31-Jun 3, who would you say?

Maybe Duncan? Solid choice if so, but odds are you wouldn't even think about Nowitzki and barely Nash. LeBron would be all on your mind, and at this point rightfully so.

Now that's what a Finals MVP is, I know, but still...an interesting way to evaluate the MVP award, especially after the job LeBron has done the past two months.
