WhoDidn'tVoteForMe:Visualizing NBA MVP voting results

WhoDidn'tVoteForMe is a simple visualization interface for quickly browsing NBA MVP voting results (from 2016-17 season to 2019-20 season ). Each season, the NBA has a voting panel made up of media members vote for the regular season's awards. The MVP award is the highest one given to an individual player in the regular season. Each media member has one ballot with one to five places on each ballot.

This interface can aid users in making sense of voting results. The bar chart on the left shows the counts of votes players received for each place. The middle part shows all the players who received votes. And the stacked bar chart on the right side shows each player's weighted total points. When users hover the mouse pointer over a player's avatar, that player's vote details are displayed on the left, so the user can rapidly find outliers. By comparing the results over different seasons, users may be able to spot some voting bias.
