How is value defined in sports? The New Orleans Pelicans saw first hand how much value one player can bring to a team when Zion Williamson returned and made them the talk of the NBA.
The Most Valuable Player award is given to the player with the most impressive season, but the definition of “value” is left intentionally vague.
It’s a difficult term to define, as some would say that wins and losses determine a player’s value, while others might be pedantic and say it’s the amount of revenue he generates for his team.
