Oladipo is the league MVP without a doubt. There is no way he will win it but no one is more valuable to their team than Victor. Pacers were awful for the 4 games he was out and now all of the sudden look great again with him. By the awards true definition that's an MVP. 

No he's not.

Lebron fan or not he's right. You can't say Oladipo is MVP cause his team goes from being 20-14 to 0-5 without him. Now if it was 28-6 and top of the east that be different. He simply makes a bad team decent.

So it's most valuable player (from one of the top few teams) award?

Doyel column on last night's game but more focused on what Vic means to the Pacers.

I can name a half dozen guys off the top of my head over Oladipo without even mentioning LeBron.

MVP isn't supposed to mean best player.

It hasn't meant "most valuable" for years. I made the same argument Aaron made last year about LeBron and everyone said that it doesn't matter who's most valuable, it matters who is having the best season, yet here we are.

Victor has been amazing for the Pacers, and he has been my favorite Pacer to watch since the days of Reggie.  With that said he is neither the best player in the league or the most valuable player in the league, and I don't think it's that close on either.

Pretend like LeBron doesn't exist. 

Giannis, Durant, Steph, Harden, Westbrook, and Kyrie. All six of those guys would deserve MVP over him.

Why

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 9,073]

They don't do more for their teams then Victor does for us.

Almost all of those players are averaging more points, rebounds and assists than Oladipo, and their teams all have better records. I get that this won't be a popular opinion on here since Oladipo is very popular, but it's an objective one.

Yeah, this is silly. Oladipo is my favorite IU player of all-time and he isn’t on the level of those guys you mentioned. They’re all more valuable players on teams with better records. Vic made a great jump this year and I love watching him, but the bias is clouding judgment here for some.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,233]

I just hope Vic continues to have the success he is having this year. It's awesome. I'd say he should be the shoe in pick for Most Improved player ( and most of this is not actual skill level but position with team).

Keep making Hoosiers proud Vic!

Me too. That could change depending on how long he's out though.

I'm not all that interested in their avgs. Again..  No one player does more for their team than VO.

How can you say that no one does more for their team than Oladipo, when there are players putting up more points, rebounds, and assists for their teams than he is?
