It's not who is the overall best, it's who had the best year.
That might be your understanding of the award but take a look at what the actual defined criteria is. Doesn't say most accomplished. Is says the best. That leaves it up to each individual.

No way that Barkley or Malone had better years than Jordan. Their teams played much better than they had in previous season and that's why they got the awards. Same reason why Nash just got it. They didn't have better seasons than Jordan.

Either way, I'm not thinking too much into it. Just asking opinions and giving my own. I'd have no problem with anyone voting for Invasor, Bernardini, or even Barbaro. As long as they are voting for who they think is the best horse.
