I think they should bring an award like this back and have Jxmy be in charge. ESPN needs this dude

Gotta appreciate jimmy for this amount of QUALITY, every video

In the NRL in Australia the MVP (Dally M Award) is done differently. After every game in the season voters vote for the 5 best players on the field, they then get points for that. Whoever has the most points at the end of the season wins. This means if you don't try or rest/injured you won't get the points for each game a miss out on the award. It's a much better system.

I’ve gotta admit man, you really are one of the most complete KZfaqrs on this app. I really don’t think you’ve ever missed.

I have never in my life watched a basketball game, I dont even know the time format lol. Yet I've seen every single video from this guy for the past 5 years. Keep up the great work Jimmy, you've got awesome content! 😄

9:24 i really love the clip playing at the back that just shows how increadible vision both luka and jokic has you can clearly see that jokic saw the play coming and tried to intercept the pass but couldnt quiet reach it

God bless you Jimmy. Asking and answering the questions we didn't know we needed to know. Love the channel man, keep it up!

when its all set in stone jimmy will make youtube hall of fame. His content is always so next level

You’re the perfect KZfaqr man. Your editing is on point, your research is in depth and formative, and your delivery is so entertaining and goddamn funny. 6:21 had me dying 😂😂

They should bring back the award, no voting fatigue no storylines just straight basketball idc what anyone says

The charts, graphs and so forth you craft for the videos are always helpful. Love visual representation of your points. Can provide additional context

It's 1:44 am in PH 🇵🇭 and at the moment I'm enjoying jxmy's another masterpiece 🎉

Off-season content with this level of quality is just brilliant. Jxmy is just awesome. Favourite KZfaqr

jimmy been consistent with the upload recently I love it

This is awesome, I had never heard of this award. Thanks for the incredible content Jimmy!

It’s so cool that you did this. Thanks for you effort and content

Another goated vid. whoever does his tunes is goated too #fire🔥🔥🔥🔥

as a big man that doesn't see a lot of balls down low, I would love metrics that value my defensive presence and rebounding more than anything. Simply being present is enough to change opponent's mind on driving to the hoop and until today I haven't seen a single metric that values this kinda play

Nothing but love for Jxmy, constant quality videos on information I love hearing about ball, stats, and facts! You and thinking basketball got the best channels for history and breakdown of the game!

Jimmy consistently puts out amazing videos even during the offseason, that's why he's one of the best basketball content creators period - on KZfaq or TV

jxmy back w peak content as the nba season approaches

The smarmy look the announcer on the left gives at the beginning of the vid is priceless!

The amount of IBMs Lebron would have if the award wasn't discounted in 2002 is the same amount of FMVPs he should have. 7️⃣

You are honestly a top tier creator. This was great!

Are we going to point fingers and laugh at how poorly Jimmy's last video aged or just appreciate the man for providing the highest quality content in the bball KZfaq space?

I love sports statistics videos like this, great video as always Jimmy

I love how jimmy says its a crime if Gobert won an award like that and proceeds to show 3 advanced stats, 2 of which had Gobert #1 in a season

Most consistent KZfaqr of all time. Every video is a classic

5:59 if you look at only the team stats than Michael’s 670*250/6105 = 27.44 and Rodmans is 480*250/4821 = 24.89 so Jordan being on a better team actually helped him.

I think in the same way it is easy to say rebounds can skew this metric and give big men an advantage, it shouldn't be overlooked how important rebounds are to winning a game. The problem is that currently it's easy to rack up incidental rebounds where the ball practically lands in your hands. If there was a way to measure 'contested rebounds' I think this would still apply some weight to a big part of the game without overly favouring big men.

Well, can't say that IBM award is that wrong. Yeah there is some bloopers as DeAndre and Gobert, but aside of that, 8 players out of last 20 years actually won both MVP and IBM. And 6 more players were pretty much a close runner-ups. 70% of matching isn't that bad I guess. I think there is a reason to bring this kind of award back (with the adjusted formula of course)

Easily the best basketball youtuber, thanks Jxmy!

6:24 its a classic when jxmmy goes on a rampage like this until his last breath

that final sentence is so important to being more knowledgeable basketball fans that are less likely to be manipulated by storylines the media wants to perpetuate to us! thank you for saying that

It’s always a good day when Jxmy posts

Jimmy's final line always gives nod, couldn't agree more

We totally need an award for dudes who just stuff the state sheet. Doesn’t have to be measure of value or whatever, just the dude who blew some stats out of the water

Absolutely fantastic man!! I love these deep dives about obscure sections.

I was just about to look at a Jimmy video and at the perfect time he uploads 😂😂😂🐐

I like the fact that it factored in the overall team performance. I think that ensures it won't just be another MVP award. Also a lot of conversation could be had about winning it. Might not always be a good thing if a player is crushing the stats year after year but their team always sucks. As always.... until next time ☮️

Love the video. You should do a part 2 where you reveal and analyze who would have won if the award was based off something like PER

Great video Jimmy. You never miss.

I think this could work but it would have to be tweaked. This are some ideas, but feel free to add more if you want: -Assists are definetely more difficult to get than rebound so multiplying assists x1.5 would kinda even it out -Using totals makes it so that the stats get affected by how many games the player plays which can make it unfair sometimes, so instead use averages and place a minimum of games played to enter -The stats aren't affected by how much their stats contribute to actually winning so an idea could be to take the win % and substract it from the team numbers This are only some ideas, if you want to add or discuss any feel free to, also sorry for any gramatical errors english is not my first language

Another banger Jimmy!

All of your videos are sheer genius mate! LOVE!!!

6:29 the moment it hit me what I was wanting to see the whole video was about to happen. You re a great content creator Jimmy. PS: I haven’t seen the video from that point im guessing a 2016 mvp steal by Lord Draymond himself

Jimmy always makes our days better whenever he uploads ✊🏾

Thank you Jimmy for giving us the best content we could ask for

great videos jimmy been ur subscriber 3 years now and learn a lot from you

David Robinson fr one of the most underrated players of all time

This is really cool stuff I never heard of this award I wouldn’t mind them bringing something like this back it would be cool even tho Gobert would have won one.

This is peak NBA content that shouldn’t be available to watch for free. Kudos to Jimmy!

What i like abou jimmy is that some other youtuber would look at this IBM award and make a 10min video about commenting on past winners. Jimmy told us about the history of the award, commented on the winners, showed us who the winners would be if the award continued and showed us who the winners would be if a better version of the award would be today.

"...because giving an individual award based on value and impact to Rudy Golbert would be a crime." This is the MVP of quotes in this video.

I miss the old intro-

People, including Jxmy, are misunderstanding this award. It isn’t for the best player, but the player that blew their teammates out in certain statistical categories the hardest. As good as Jordan was, he also had a really good supporting cast, making it much more difficult to win the award.

10:00 exactly. Don't judge a player by stats even though they offer cool insight.

jxmy always comes out with the best videos 🙏🏻

Another quality content by Jimmy ❤

the actual concept of such a award is really cool and it would be cool to have.

Nothing can stop Jxmy number crunching when he's determined (or using a graph). Another high quality and interesting video.

Jimmy always pulls through with the uploads

Jxmy with another banger, as usual Edit: every time, I keep wondering, how can he possibly go any further into stats than he already has? And then he pulls this out. Bruh. The 🐐 of hoops content. Hands down.

jimmy doin his best vsauce impression at the end of the video is hilarious

Great video, but cant say I wasnt looking forward to 27 new hypothetical awards based off the most esoteric stats there are.

It would be interesting if the formula was more well thought out or had a scale that would also include eye test

Jimmy with another banger as usual

Wait hear me out…… what if we do replace the mvp with an algorithm/AI, BUT at the end of every season the voters will have a vote to decide if they wanna override the machine’s pick or not. We can make the override threshold pretty high (like requiring a 2/3 majority or smth) so that it doesn’t happen everytime, but will happen for the obvious cases like Deandre Jordan for example. As long as we have a good algorithm, and a well-adjusted override system, I think it can help make the MVP race less toxic while maintaining the discussions and human element due to the existence of the override vote.

JxmyHighroller should do an end of the season awards ceremony based on his own formulas for things like MVP, DPOY and ROTY etc.

Jimmy never fails to drop a banger 🔥

The dikembe slander is crazy one of the greatest defensive players of all time

Jimmy really the reason I started watching the nba.. he makes it so interesting

This really is the best NBA content out there

Jimmy never fails to disappoint

“Giving an award valued on impact to Rudy Gobert would be a crime” is simply a horrid take. Dude had one of the most dominant defensive seasons of the century, liking him or not.

honestly i wouldn’t be upset if they brought something like this back, it’s nothing special but it’s cool having these kind of stats constantly being tracked/awarded for just being a solid all around ball player. i have a feeling it’d vary HEAVILY between most positions in todays NBA

God tier content again by our man.. Jxmy!

The GOAT Jimmy back to entertain me while I’m bored

Jimmy with a W upload yet again

I actually ran the numbers on this myself a little while ago. My data (which is otherwise identical to yours) says that Jokic wins the IBM award in 2020-21 with an IBM score of 98.26. Gobert is second at 85.67 (the result you have).

by far the earliest I have ever been to a jimmy video feeling blessed

Love your vids, been a fan since the old days.

great stuff jimmy

I learn so much watching this channel

Well said great video keep doing your thing

Cant wait to see what type of videos he’ll make during the year

every video u post is so entertaining. The editing all the way down to the commentary. I appreciate the effort u put into everyone seriously i know it takes a long time. 🤝

I was doing something so I accidentally watched all six 30 second ads (3 double ads) all the way through without skipping. Your welcome Jimmy, that’s my donation for the great content😂

Thank you for the quality videos jim

The Shaq photo at 2:44 has me on the floor 😂😂

Great video - one point to make, is that the MVP award has contextually changed over the years. One context being, “the most (best) valuable player in the league (on a winning team)!”, and the other being, “the most valuable player to their (winning) team”. IBMs formula was intending to answer who was, “the most valuable player to their team”, by calculating the players impact above the others + winning record. That’s how you can get a result of Dennis Rodman scoring much higher than Jordan, especially when all of the stat categories looked to be equally valued. Put it another way, IBM’s formula calculated that “Dennis Rodman’s impact to the Pistons winning, was greater than anyone else’s impact to their winning team”. But they weren’t saying, Dennis Rodman is a better player than Michael Jordan. Think about how good bulls still did without Jordan, when Pip+Kukoc took over. Sure, they would never have won a championship, but their record was only a few games down from when they had jordan. Winning is a spectrum. That said, I think their formula was pretty inaccurate/fuzzy for that context, i just think that was their context. With that context, it changes the view of the list. It just depends on what you are trying to answer. In many ways, the lost context is why the MVP conversation is so highly debated. No one really knows what we are trying to answer, are we saying the MVP award should go to; the “best” player? Most valuable to their team or league? Player who’s putting up the best numbers + W record? I’m not playing defense attorney for the IBM award or arguing we should make a static formula for players to game, but the NBA should at least frame the context for the award so we can all have the same debate.

You create quality content sir . I am never disappointed.

In conclusion, MVP Kevin Garnett is one of the greatest peaks by a player ever

appreciate you jimmy

Jimmy does not spam upload videos but when he uploads, the quality is just 100%

Jimmy keeps us interested in nba even in the offseason, we are forever grateful 👽

WE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS JIMMY

This dude has to have a ton of job offers because your work sir is beyond incredible

You should make a top 10 list video!! Awesome vis btw
