If we are getting in the weeds here, the might be a more appropriate article since the most valuable is often no longer indefinite. In an AAVE context & using article ‘a/an’, I would assume “you a MVP” omitting the copula, not conjugating it like “you are a MVP”. The current expression feels uncanny.

Oh, nice catch! I'm not American, so don't have an enormous amount of exposure to AAE. Thanks for the added detail!

And yes, you're definitely right that "the" would be more appropriate for standard American (and British, and Australian, etc.) English.
