MVP Watch 2002

2002 Next -->

Through the end of the 2002 season. Update: January 1, 2003

The league MVP is the single player who scores the most points on the active roster of his team. It is worth 5% of the total pot. Players do not score MVP points if they are on the bench, and MVP points do not carry over for traded players. Defenses do not count.

Here are the top scorers, plus a breakdown of the top players at each position. Since this list is subject to errors, please inform the webmaster if you have a player with more points than any of these dudes that does not appear. It will happen. If your player is in contention for the MVP prize, it is ultimately your responsibility to make sure the numbers are accurate.
