This is a great article and a great read, even as someone who knows very little about machine learning models but is a fan of the NBA.<p>One question I have is whether it’s possible to model voter fatigue. There was a point brought up that LeBron had a solid candidacy in the Rose MVP season but voters didn’t want to give it to him again, and I feel like this equally applies to Giannis this year. Though Giannis’ season isn’t as good as Jokic’s for sure, if they were closer I feel like Giannis would have to do WAY better than the competition to have a shot at the award, given general sentiment about him and his playoff results.
