For the purposes of this debate, a Statistical Points framework is a statistic-based metric on awarding players of the Most Valuable Player award, Defensive Player of the Year award, the Mythical-Five etc. in basketball leagues. Most often, the framework follows this scoring system for awarding MVPs: 1 point for each point scored in the game, 1.5 points, for each rebound, assist, steal, and block, 10 points for each game won in which he plays, 10 points if his team enters the semifinals, 10 points, if his team enters the finals, 10 points if his team wins the championship. While this is the scoring system in awarding the Defensive Player of the Year: 1 point, for each defensive rebound. 2 points, for each steal and block. 5 points, for each game won in which he plays.
However, the scoring system varies per basketball league and can be tweaked based on the plans of league commissioners and players’ associations, but the key concept of the framework is to base all awards on the statistics of players each game.
Currently, the biggest basketball league in the world, the NBA, is using a Borda Count Voting system where the awards are decided by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada, ranking players from 1st to 5th, and each place corresponds to points.
