In those sports it's a lot less likely that the regular season MVP could get washed in the playoffs by the runner ups though.
Imagine this setup last year, with Curry winning it a few days after Bron an em came back.
Not really less likely. Aaron Rodgers was awarded MVP the night before the team that beat him was playing in the SB
I mean I don't think this is a perfect change to make, but I also don't think it's the end of the world
