You can also win MVP on the side of the record! A look back at the seven worst MVP winners in NBA history.
Preface. The NBA's MVP is generally awarded by the previous regular season MVP, rather than a person's performance, such as Russell, who got an 189 points, beat Chamberlain, and get the MVP, which shows how important a team's results are, even if you are strong individually, but if a team's results are poor, then none of this means anything. So, let's take a look at who are the worst MVP winners in NBA team history!
7.James (46-20-46) (11-12, fourth in the league).
In the 11-12 season, the NBA experienced a brief shutdown, and in the 11-12 season, in the 66 rounds of the NBA, James brought the Heat to the 2nd place in the East and the 4th place in the West, while the Bulls, Spurs, and Thunder followed, Rose's state was not as good as last season, and James's biggest competitor at that time was Durant. Durant's performance is in no way inferior to James, and his average points are 28, 8 rebounds, 35 assists, while James, is 271 point 79 rebounds, 62 assists, which is a good example. Judging from the current situation, Durant seems to be a little stronger than James, both in terms of personal attributes and team records, James is the MVP winner.
6.Jokic (47-25-20, 20-21, 5th in the league).
In the 20-21 season, the Nuggets played a total of 72 games, and this season, Jokic brought the Nuggets to No. 3 in the East and No. 5 in the NBA, to be honest, such a result is somewhat controversial, because his opponent Embiid missed too many games due to injury, so he did not get the MVP, plus the Lakers are a whole, so Jokic did not appear, in that year, Jokic averaged 264 points 108 rebounds 83 assists 8With 3 near-triple-doubles, his role on the court is huge, and even without Jokic, the Nuggets will lose their maximum competitiveness, so Jokic's help to the Nuggets is huge, and getting the MVP is a matter of course.
5.Jordan (87 88, 7th in the league, 50-32).
In the 87-88 season, Jordan played his peak in the NBA, averaging 35 points per game and 55 rebounds 59 assists 32 blocks, he is not only the NBA's scoring champion, but also a very good defensive guard, in three years, he is the NBA's top star, offensive and defensive, his star temperament is undoubted, is a well-deserved DPOY! Of course, there is no doubt about the MVP honor, but this time, the Bulls did not achieve good results, they only ranked seventh, but Jordan's individual performance was very good, so no one will agree with someone who does not win the MVP.
4.Moses Malone (Union 9, 81-82, 46-36).
In the '81-82 season, Moses Malone scored 311 point 147 rebounds, which is a very amazing result, but their record is 5th in the West, 9th, and the Celtics are led by Bird, who averages 22+10 per game, and is also considered the most promising player to win the MVP, but in the end, everyone voted for Malone because his skills are so good! This upset Bird.
Willis (47-35) (16-17-17, 10th).
In the playoffs of 16 years, under the leadership of Du Shao and Ershao, the Thunder was overtaken by the Warriors with a 3-1 advantage, and Durant also left the team because of this and became a team of the Warriors, and in the 16-17 season, Wei Shao played a terrible triple-double, and at this time, Wei Shao's triple-double has been difficult to achieve, and anyone who can win a triple-double will be very happy. The player who gets a triple-double will be very happy, because Wei Shao got 316 points, 107 rebounds, 10With a triple-double of 4 assists, he is the strongest after Big O, and his performance has shocked many reporters, so in the final MVP vote, Wei Shao, who only ranked sixth and tenth in the West, won the MVP.
I have to say that Harden also has the possibility of competing for MVP this season, but Harden's performance has made everyone pay attention to him, sometimes to his results, sometimes to his individual results, so Harden was a little late when he won his first MVP.
2.Jokic (48-34-21, 10th in the league).
In the 21-22 season, Jokic won the MVP, in fact, the team had an even worse record than the first MVP, currently ranked 6th in the East, 10th, and his average score is 271,13.7 rebounds, 79 assists, this season, Jokic won his second MVP, but it seems that his MVP has not been criticized by many people, and he also won the MVP like in 16-17, but everyone does not rate him highly. Although Wei Shao also won the MVP, everyone didn't talk much about him, everyone said that Wei Shao was just to increase his score, not to prove Jokic, in fact, the most important reason is Jokic's top attributes, he is the key to this team's victory.
1.Abdul-Jabbar (40-42 games in '75-76, 10th in the league).
Abdul-Jabbar got the worst MVP in NBA history, and his team didn't enter the NBA at that time, and the NBA at that time, that is, 18 teams, ranked tenth, ranked low, but Abdul-Jabbar's performance made everyone recognize him, and in the end, Abdul-Jabbar got the MVP.
