@alexbazzell @Unrivaledwbb Travel to the west coast. Restructure playoffs and either have more time between semis and final or not allow teams to have a bye. For each of the semis in Brooklyn, one team played in Miami the night before and one had a bye. That was too much and no surprise both bye teams won

There’s only one player in WNBA history who has averaged a triple-double per 36 minutes. Alyssa Thomas would achieve that this year, with per-36 numbers of (17.7) points, (10.1) rebounds, and (10.5) assists. We’ve already talked about Thomas’ unique storyline this season, which strengthens her case for her first MVP. She helped guide a brand-new Phoenix team—one that returned just two players from last year’s roster, brought in seven first-year players, and had to build its chemistry on the fly—to a 27-win season. That represents an +8 win improvement from last year, their first 20-win campaign in seven seasons, and the second-highest win total in franchise history. The question is, will voters value this storyline enough? Her impact is undeniable when you look at the trajectory of the teams she’s been a part of. With Thomas on the Connecticut Sun, they consistently finished among the league’s top 3–4 teams. Without her this season, the Sun slipped into the bottom tier. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Mercury, who couldn’t crack the top four even with stars like Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, and Kahleah Copper last year, instantly rose into the top four once Thomas joined the team. Her scoring numbers may not match Wilson or Collier, but the points she creates do. Between her scoring and her league-leading passing, no player is responsible for more total points than Thomas. While she doesn’t offer the same rim protection as Wilson or Collier, she more than compensates with her disruptive play in other areas, finishing tied for second in the league in steals, right alongside them. So the question is, will voters prioritize raw scoring and raw numbers, or will they value unmatched versatility, historic playmaking, and the ability to transform a franchise overnight? If MVP is truly about the player who impacts winning the most, Alyssa Thomas has put together the most convincing case.
