Testing the theory that minutes played and +/- in victories can determine who's the Most Valuable Player in the NBA.
- Minutes played indicates how value placed on the player by the team's coach that day.
- +/- indicates how well the team plays while the player is on the court.
My scoring system ranks the top four players on the winning team based on the sum of minutes played and +/-.
