I was curious because i feel ellis and williams deserved 2nd & 3rd place status in the voting. I feel that ellis made a huge leap that simply got dwarfed by kevin's quantum undeniable leap. In williams' case he realized his all star potential much quicker than anybody could have guessed. While i dont think it's fair to give williams the award based on that point alone, i do think it's fair to give him 3rd based on his quick rise to that ascent alone. You can argue Williams deserved MVP votes (surely a more important vote than any number for MIP)

The real point as many have stated already (that i was late to comment on because i was working/snoozing) is that the whole process is flawed. A clear,fluid process needs to happen to justify how voters can vote for this. That's the whole problem. And every sportswriter would hate that because then their opinion would be dictated. Good, their opinions suck with no dictation. At least a dictated opinion would be an upgrade over a stupid thoughtless no dictated one.
