It's dumb that they give this award out before the playoffs are over. How can a league MVP be chosen before the most important part of the season?

I understand that the award would probably go to the Finals MVP every year if they did it that way, so my answer to that is why don't they let everyone the voters vote at the end of the regular season, and give that vote a weight...say 60% for example. And then, after the playoffs, they vote again and that vote is weighted at 40%. Something along those lines anyway.

That way, Lebron would probably lose every year b/c he would get almost zero postseason points b/c of his constant choking.

This way we would have a true MVP every season and not a phony like Lebron.
