2011 UAAP Most Valuable Player

[gval28]

Baka naman inadvance ang pagbigay ng mvp kay brp for the next season,baka dun nya ipakita yung mala-mvp na laro talaga nya, I'm looking at my crystal ball and it says NU will make it to the final four,together with admu feu and ust,im sorry adu,i dont see any chances of you falcons going in the playoffs come next season.

^therrajj, Yeah. You're right. He might be the "best" of the league, pero, the problem is not him, his back-up players. His assistants.

Example, would Jordan be the "greatest of all-time" without the assistance of the Pippen, Rodman, Kerr, Kukoc, etc.
Or, will Kobe receive a 3-peat in 2008,2009 and 2010 without good players like Gasol, Odom, Artest, Bynum?

Yes, magaling nga si BRP, probably the best of this new generation, but, if his team doesn't have the skills or some playing time or experience, walang mangyayari.

Look, sino lang ba ang umiiscore sa NU except for Parks? tatlong tao lang ata. Mbe, Labing-isa and another guy (nakalimutan yung name)

Next time, NU must hire some quality players.

But, well-deserved for Parks.

I agree. Actually, statistically speaking the most efficient way for NU to score is letting BRP score on every possession. Because his PPS is flat out crazy. Hopefully, maging OK yung mga recruit ng NU next season on their much anticipated outing next season.

Can somebody please remind me what value you bring by leading your team to a losing season?

[bitemebiiitch]

MVP si Parks WTF? Eh pag hawak na niyan ang bola, yung ring nalang ang nakikita eh nawawala sasight niya teammates niya. Sa stats tinitignan tsk tsk tsk, dapat si Slaughter MVP, di sa stats nakikita yan dahil talagang iba ang laro ng Ateneo dahil sa presence ni Slaughter.

[bitemebiiitch]

IMO, A perfect example of a real MVP is John Wall (yung rookies vs. sophies all star)

Di siya masyado nagpoints but he dished 20+ assists to win the award. That game, si Blake Griffin ata yung humataw sa pagscore but Wall overshadowed that by making his teammates look good including Griffin as a recipient of those dimedrops.

Parks is good and all pero how can you be a valuable player if you can't even bring your team to valuable finish?

Actually it was DeMarcus who pounded 30+ points, but yeah I agree with your points.

That's what they tried against Ateneo in the second round. BRP tried to score on every possession. How many points did he get? 8 points lang po sir. 8 POINTS[. Eh paano kaya kung si BRP lang talaga ang nagtry magscore nung game na yun? Baka naman 8 points lang ang score ng NU against Ateneo instead of 38 points.

NU is better off when BRP isn't trying to hog the ball. He ruins the chemistry of his team.

Differentiate Garbage Scorer from Most Valuable Player please.

I agree that BRP should not have been MVP. But I think Alex Nuyles should have been MVP. He has made Adamson even better this year because he improved his scoring, his passing, and his defense. Slaughter or Ravena were my first round choice but their stats kinda dipped in the second round. Whereas Nuyles just kept on going and improving his stats and his team.

Dude, if you watched the interview, even the coaches didn't think that Ray Parks is the MVP. As Norman Black suggested they should change the award to Player of the Year because an MVP is a very different player because he makes his team better. Pido even said that the MVP should be from a Final Four team because those guys tried to achieve something different for their team rather than for himself only.

What's the relation between this reply and my statement that you just quoted?

I also agree that sana sa nakafinal four team nanggaling ang MVP. But I also think that BRP deserves the MVP, if there are no rules about MVP should come from a final four team. Malaking bagay talaga si BRP sa team. BRP is the reason kung bakit pinaguusapan ngayon ang NU. Offensively, he's the most efficient scorer in the league (+1.5 pps; top 9 assists). Defensively, top 10 in blocks and steals. He also is the reason why NU, a team composed of 9 rookies and role players were able to stand shoulder to shoulder against (two really close games) FEU, (1-1)Adamson, (1-1)UST and (1-1)DLSU.

SANA me rules na nagsasabi na dapat sa final four team ang MVP. Pero wala. And kung babasehan natin ang rules, wala namang kadayaan or ginawang illegal si BRP para makamit ang MVP. Sana respetohin nalang natin to. Maging sport naman tayo.

Like I said before, I do not discount the talent that BRP has or his skills as a player. I am only disappointed on how he got his statistical points to win the MVP. He plays on garbage time and seldom takes everything on his own hands. He is a good scorer and individual playmaker no doubt. But he should know when to let the ball rotate. Like I said, if NU did indeed give every scoring possession of NU to BRP in their second round match up against Ateneo, maybe they could have even scored below 38 points because Kirk Long was playing good defense on him. In times like those, he should know when to become a facilitator or a decoy rather than a scorer.

I am not saying that the UAAP should take back the award and give it to Nuyles or Slaughter. I am only saying this in hopes that my sentiments (and other people's as well) about how the MVP award is chosen will cause a ripple and echo that the higher ups and the UAAP board might see that they have made a mistake in the current MVP basis.

If there was a player of the year award, no doubt Parks deserves it. He, along with Kiefer Ravena, are the futures of Philippine basketball. His talent and head turning ability put NU on the Philippine basketball map as a college team to watch out for in the future. But as far as the definition of Most Valuable Player is concerned, the award should have gone to a player belonging to a final four team.

Next season, I hope the board will be able to remedy this kind of MVP basis because since Dylan Ababou won it, it has lost its prestige. Hopefully, they will find a way to make it a prestigious title in such ways that it can immediately show the true value of the player not only to his team but to pro or Philippine basketball in the future.

Here's my take on this year's MVP:

Sana lang magboo ang mga manonood bukas pag iaaward na kay Parks yung MVP trophy, di ako bitter, pero sana pang-final four teams lang ang pwede manalo ng award na to, pwede naman si RR, si GS o Ravena, kahit nga si Nuyles MVP season talaga pinakita nya e. Alam ko naman madami din mag-aagree na parang di deserve ni BRP ang award,kahit sya nga parang di natuwa, mas gusto nya pa magchampion kesa mapanalunan yung award na yan. Sana lang ma-boo sya para magising yung mga gumagawa ng sistema sa uaap na di natutuwa ang fans sa ganyang mga sistema nila.

Off-topic:

Sayang naman a DQ si Karim sa mythical 5 (napalitan ni Ravena). Di naman intentional yung unsportsman like foul, di tuloy nabigyan credit yung effort and skills niya for this season.

Napalitan ni Ravena? Nope. Napalitan ni Ramos siguro. Ravena deserves the M5 spot regardless of Abdul's unsportsmanlike foul. And it would be odd to have four big men in the M5 and only one guard (Nuyles) who plays more like a forward. Ravena is hands down the best guard (along with RR Garcia) in the league.

dapat between ravena , slaugther at nuyles yung mvp award .. loko lokong egoy to ,sobrang crocodile at ni hindi naman siya mgaling eh,horrible shooting at ilan ba assist nito.. puro siya yung tira ng tira eh kaya lahat kanya .. For me it shoud be slaugther .. lang hiya sa next season, ganyan na naman gagawin niya tapos mvp ulet kahit yung team niya laglag sa f4 galing ng uaap board . sayang yung effort ng ateneo ,feu ,adamson at ust .

[dksboy]

Tama si Pido, the MVP should come from a WINNING team. MVP nga eh, meron bang MVP na talunan? There was never a reason to put in the rules before because everybody tried to win games rather than pump up their players' stats, hence before this year the past MVPs usually belonged to the best or 2nd best team. This year though Altamirano broke that unspoken rule by pumping up BRP's stats everytime their team got blown out.

The MVP should have been between Nuyles, Slaughter, Ravena and Ramos. Really they were the true MVPs of their team, both winning AND putting points. I have nothing against BRP but he really should have been booed off the stage when he got his award.

He was cheered on by both FEU and Ateneo today. As the saying goes... DONT HATE THE PLAYA, hate the game

[ForeverTwentyOne]

I also don't agree with this award going to BRP. He maybe the statistical leader of the season, but it makes the MVP award a mere promotion of BWAKAWness. It promotes stat-padding instead of actually winning games. Oh well.

[strandedstranger]

I think it's useless to cry over spilled milk unless of course the Board plans to change the means in determining next season's UAAP.

[theeng69]

I remember yesterday's game when Boom Gonzales mentioned BRP being the MVP then TJ Manotoc was about to say something about BRP not being accepted by a lot of people as the MVP. But suddenly Boom diverts his attention by talking about the game at hand. Sayang. haha.

[roundtablepizza]

Ang galing talaga ni Parks!
