Opinion: The Michael Jordan FMVP Award.

[NumberSix]

Shouldn't the FMVP award have Michael Jordan's name on it?

I personally believe, that it eventually will.

[Angel Face]

could happen.

I understand, but shouldn't the Award be named after the guy who has more of them than any player, let alone over a guy who doesn't have any?

Why not change the logo to the jumpman while you're at it?

[Angel Face]

The Michael Jordan FMVP award winner, Kevin Durant. Sounds good. :applause:

You act as if the NBA naming an award after Michael Jordan is absurd or something. It's Michael Jordan. The most popular player of all time and the player most associated with the FMVP award.


Seriously, when you think of the FMVP, who do you think of? Michael Jordan or Bill Russell?

Who gives a shit? It's ludicrous. Put down the Nike koolaid for a second. :coleman:

[TimmyDuncan]

FMVP is already for Bill Russell

Give Jordan the MVP award. The Michael Jordan MVP award winner is...

[JohnFreeman]

Jordan doesn't have to be involved in everything NBA you know. Jordan wouldn't even turn up to present it

[K Xerxes]

FMVP is already for Bill Russell

Give Jordan the MVP award. The Michael Jordan MVP award winner is...

It'd make more sense to give it to Kareem then, given that he's won the most...

Or possibly LeBron if he can win a few more MVPs, though that's projecting quite some time into the future.

in agreement with bold. non-bold is just stupid, yeah sorry bill but we're taking your name off the award. that doesn't happen mister number name

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Yeah, they aren't going to take Russell's name off it ever. The rest of the awards should stay without names as well, but that's my opinion. The sponsors piss me off. Fck Kia

[Ratnik]

The NBA would never disrespecct Russell like that

[JohnFreeman]

The only time I could see them changing it is if Bill dies, but legacy normally grows stronger with death.

[GaryRaymond23]

I don't think it will ever be changed. I obviously see a legitimate argument for Jordan getting a FMVP award named after him but with the dominance that Russell displayed and his elite, most likely never will be broken Finals record .. I mean, his dominance was bar none in terms of Championships.

Don't try to butter us MJ fans up with this idea. You shit on MJ every chance you get.








































Good idea doe, my nigguh. :cheers:

[NumberSix]

No I don't. I ALWAYS say he's a top 4 player of all time and I never rank anyone above him. I have a list of 4 players who are the best from different eras and I don't rank them against each other. How is that shitting on him?

[KevinNYC]

I understand, but shouldn't the Award be named after the guy who has more of them than any player, let alone over a guy who doesn't have any?

Um, you do know why he doesn't any don't you? (http://www.nba.com/history/finalsmvps.html)

Here's the list of early finals MVPs
[QUOTE]Finals MVP

1969 -- Jerry West, Los Angeles
Averaged 30.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 18 playoff games as the Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics, 4-3. West has been the only NBA Finals MVP to play for a losing team.
1970 -- Willis Reed, New York
Averaged 23 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in the Knicks

[Psileas]

If they had intended to give it Jordan's name, they would already have on the first place, so it's not going to happen. Jordan's status is huge as it is, he doesn't need any more accolades to boost it. Russell is the one who's not award-decorated enough for someone who's won 11 titles as the man, so naming an award that he never won, but would have undoubtedly won multiple times had it existed back then, is much more reasonable.

[DonDadda59]

Nah, but the NBA logo should be one of these:

Should be Russell, Jordan or in the future LeBron when he has the goat combo of mvp/fmvp's...


the NBA Jordan logo is sick! Would love Dirk's fade too :pimp:

That would be dope but the NBA would have to pay some serious $$$$$$$ to use that logo.

You think MJ would charge to be an NBA logo? Stop kidding me.

Bill Russell is the GOAT player, there's no reason to try to diminish him by taking his name off of the award

Jordan doesn't own the rights to that logo.

Wow. Bill Russell won most his rings before the FMVP award existed?:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:


NO WAY!!!!!!

Jumpman is legit but I still prefer DA logo.

[BoutPractice]

MJ doesn't need awards named after him. It's not like we'll forget about him otherwise, he's practically synonymous with basketball...

[Vienceslav]

If you really need to name an award after MJ, make in the scoring title.

It shouldn't change, imo. The NBA logo should be non-flamboyant and indicative of a league, not a player.

[KyrieTheFuture]

So...every 20 years were just gonna rename awards? Should we rename the Cy Young and Vince Lombardi trophies too?

Nike owns everything basically. Jordan Brand is just a subsidiary of Nike.

Lol like Michael Jordan would hand the FMVP award to Durant or LeBron at the end of the Finals.

He would hand it to them, but at the last second say SIKE and run away with it laughing and smoking cigars.

[buddha]

should change the name of the championship trophy also, who the hell is Larry O'Brien? did he even ball? should be The Phil Jackson Championship Trophy

Exactly, if we're naming trophies after guys who haven't even played (they mean nothing to the game), then why not Mr.T all-nba 1st team selection and Joe Jackson all-rookie team selection while we're at it.

So you admit this was a, fact-free argument then?

David Stern before David Stern.

[eliteballer]

They are not going to rename a reward when it's already been named for another legend. It would be the height of disrespect.

Just needed to let OP be aware of his stupidity.

Then again he's a fan of a franchise who retired MJ's jersey when he never played a second for them.

[NumberSix]

So you admit this was a, fact-free argument then?
:rolleyes:
The point is that Russell really has no association with the award and MJ is more associated with it than anybody else.

[Black Mamba's B]

Jordan is deserving but come on give Mr. Russell his respect

[NumberSix]

Jordan is deserving but come on give Mr. Russell his respect
Respect is overrated.

[Psileas]

The point is that Russell really has no association with the award and MJ is more associated with it than anybody else.

And this is the whole point of why they named it after Russell: To state that it has to be associated with him.

[Fiasco]

I understand, but shouldn't the Award be named after the guy who has more of them than any player, let alone over a guy who doesn't have any?

This has to be a joke.

Yeah let's suck his dick even more :cheers:

and this is coming from a fan of a team who retired his jersey, despite never playing for the team :facepalm
