Sounds reasonable to me. No question Ulis is the best player in the league.

I disagree. Simmons is clearly the best INDIVIDUAL player in the league and his overall numbers back that up. However, if you want to make the argument that the POY should also carry his team to great success, then I certainly understand the Ulis selection and would not disagree on that basis.

I guess it's basically how you look at the award. I see it as a purely individual award i.e. who was the best PLAYER. Not the best player on the, or one of the best teams. I mean, was Scottie Wilbiken really the "best" individual player in 2014? Or did he get the award simply because he was perceived as the "best player on the best team"
