  • The NBA gives its MVP awards to players who meet certain criterias... but what if the MVP was just given to the best player? We're looking at who would win it in those cases from the 1990s.

In 98 he missed half of the season. The double teams and triple teams MJ was facing was a joke. The man was getting DOUBLED OFF THE BALL. so just looking at stats with almost no context is horrible.

    I was a huge fan of David Robinson growing up and I feel like a lot of people remember him as the guy who was destroyed by Hakeem after winning MVP and not getting it done as the go-to-guy and needing Tim Duncan to win a ring. But Robinson never had a true co-star until Duncan was drafted, and David was 32 by then. It's very rare for a franchise type of player to lead a team to a title as the sole star, like Hakeem in 1994 or Dirk in 2011. This video really does the Admiral justice, he was among the best from '89-'96.

      Hakeem did not win as the sole star, dude played with another legend and 2 extra playoff legends.

    Hakeem In 94, in my opinion had the greatest season all time. Won DYOP, MVP, won the Finals and Finals MVP. He was the best defender without question that season, and took full advantage of Jordan not playing that year. Man I wish I could've saw him and MJ play in the finals

    A *HUGE* flaw in your thinking is that stats indicate who the better players are. Not even win shares or PER tell us who the best players are. For example, Kobe gets compared to Jordan all the time, but Kobe's role while Shaq was on the Lakers was more comparable to Pippen, not Jordan. Performing in that role altered Kobe's stats considerably. Was Kobe a *worse* player in the Shaq years? Of course not. And Kobe played at least one season with a broken finger on his shooting hand. That affected his shooting percentage and other stats, but injuries heal over the course of a season and can potentially allow a player to be more effective again - a common happening that isn't reflected in a season's stat line. A player's contribution to winning - to the team's overall record against all other players - HAS to always be considered heavily in determining a player's value. By the way, I think very concept of an MVP award in a team game is fundamentally flawed, but it does sell sneakers. 😉

    The late 80's through the 90's was the best era for the NBA. That said, in at LEAST the 90's, if not a few years before, MJ was the best and most valuable player every year. He should have 6 MVP's, minimum.
    Look at the impact he had on his team: The year he retired, the Bulls couldn't even beat the Knicks and get to the East Finals, much less the NBA Finals.
    Almost the same exact team, added, plus Kukoc, drop Paxon/add Kerr.
