Shouldn't it be having more field goal attempts than points?

Well personally, I think it would have been best if when they started doing the MVP, they did it after the playoffs, thus insuring that the guy considered to have been the best that year got the most prestigious award.
However, as long as they've decided it's a regular season award, I think they do the right thing getting the ballots in before they can be swayed by the playoffs.
Also, since it's a regular season award, I don't take it that seriously. People who complain about Shaq missing out on MVPs often don't consider that everyone knows that the MVP isn't everything. For example, because Shaq won the 3 rings with dominant playoffs, we all know he was the best player in those years. None of us thinks "Well he didn't win the regular season MVP, so he must not have been that good."

If you are below that line, you had better be among about the top 5 players in the game at some other important aspect of the game, ie, defense(younger Ben Wallace and Bruce Bowen come to mind), passing (Kidd), rebounding, etc. If you shoot under 40% and don't do anything else extremely well, you are hurting your team and probably shouldn't be in the league.
