Only 29 Players in NBA History...

[sammichoffate]

Have ever won a FMVP. 29 Players since the award's inception in 1969.

[plowking]

Even less for the MVP I assume?

[Akrazotile]

Of those 29, 28 deserved it and one guy stole it from a 7'0 Spaniard.

[no pun intended]

Even less for the MVP I assume?
If I counted correctly, it is 29 as well :wtf:

[sammichoffate]

Even less for the MVP I assume?30 for the Regular Season MVP. Considering the award had 14 more years being officially recognized, that's even more insane.

[iamgine]

Only? That's a lot of players considering only 1 person can win per year.

Lulz

[Yao Ming's Foot]

It is pretty funny when people "slam" for Kobe for only winning 2 considering only 4 players won more than that. :oldlol:

[Legends66NBA7]

Have ever won a FMVP. 29 Players since the award's inception in 1969.

Technically, off course, there are more Finals MVP winners if it was recorded since the NBA's inception. Same goes with DPOY.

[JohnFreeman]

Weird how Billups will be a HOFer

[sammichoffate]

Technically, off course, there are more Finals MVP winners if it was recorded since the NBA's inception. Same goes with DPOY.Russell got the award named after him so.....yeah....:oldlol:

[zoom17]

Weird how Billups will be a HOFer

He was clutch

[sammichoffate]

Weird how Billups will be a HOFerI would take him 2nd ballot tbh, but I think he deserves it

[JohnFreeman]

I love Billups, but hofer?

[Legends66NBA7]

Russell got the award named after him so.....yeah....:oldlol:

George Mikan would be the first official player to sweep MVP and Finals MVP.

[sammichoffate]

I love Billups, but hofer?Chris Mullin, Reggie Miller, Ralph Sampson, Calvin Murphy?

[JohnFreeman]

Chris Mullin, Reggie Miller, Ralph Sampson, Calvin Murphy?
Miller and Mullin are 50x better then Billups though

[DMAVS41]

How many players in NBA history have a MVP, Finals MVP, and a title?

[Akrazotile]

It is pretty funny when people "slam" for Kobe for only winning 2 considering only 4 players won more than that. :oldlol:


It's probably because he played in 7 finals and chucked his brains out in each one, only managed to score 2 FMVPS that he didn't even legitimately deserve :confusedshrug:

[sammichoffate]

Miller and Mullin are 50x better then Billups though:oldlol: k

[sammichoffate]

How many players in NBA history have a MVP, Finals MVP, and a title?In the same season or just overall?

[Big#50]

Gasol
Wallace

I understood it as at least 2 MVPs/2 FMVPs/2 titles but if you mean both those guys could've won at least one more MVP, then I agree completely.

also Legends, good catch on Unseld, but you totally forgot Nash for MVP/no titles, Dirk for 1 of each too.

[Legends66NBA7]

Wilt
Kareem
Rick Barry
Bill Walton
Bird
Moses Malone
Magic
Jordan
Hakeem
Shaq
Duncan
Kobe

Rick Barry doesn't have MVP.

also Legends, good catch on Unseld, but you totally forgot Nash for MVP/no titles, Dirk for 1 of each too.That's what I meant, Shaq should have way more MVPs and Kobe should have at least one more from 06.

[Thorn]

Rick Barry doesn't have MVP.
Balls, you're right. Forgot the 1975 one went to Mcadoo and not him.


That's what I meant, Shaq should have way more MVPs and Kobe should have at least one more from 06.
Yeah, Shaq should've had at least 00-01. He was 2nd in 05 too. But he almost always took regular seasons off.

Ah, thank you.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Chris Mullin, Reggie Miller, Ralph Sampson, Calvin Murphy?

Sampson is better than Billups. You include the college resume (Sampson being one of the GOATs in college basketball history) and it's not close.

[Thorn]

It irritates the hell out of me when I try to move him around my top 10, knowing that he could've been the GOAT :oldlol:
It's terrifying to imagine what kind of player he would've been if he had Russell's work ethic. Can you imagine having a prime Shaq in the league for 10 seasons? If he was motivated, in shape and willing to work hard on his weaknesses like FTs? We might've had a something like 34/16/4 guy who fouls out every frontline in every game.

Having that kind of guy on your team is like using a cheat code.

[truhooper]

It is pretty funny when people "slam" for Kobe for only winning 2 considering only 4 players won more than that. :oldlol:

2 outta 5 for someone some clowns want to compare to MJ or Lebron tho :facepalm :biggums:

[Yao Ming's Foot]

2 outta 5 for someone some clowns want to compare to MJ or Lebron tho :facepalm :biggums:

Yeah since being better than prime Pippen for a series is the same as being better than prime Shaq. :facepalm

[Yao Ming's Foot]

It's probably because he played in 7 finals and chucked his brains out in each one, only managed to score 2 FMVPS that he didn't even legitimately deserve :confusedshrug:

Yeah what a loser. Going 5-2 in the Finals and not outplaying prime Shaq in his early 20s. :oldlol:

[NumberSix]

Yeah what a loser. Going 5-2 in the Finals and not outplaying prime Shaq in his early 20s. :oldlol:
Nobody has ever criticized Kobe for not being as good as prime Shaq.

Nobody criticizes Bosh for not being as good as LeBron. People don't try to use Bosh's 2 rings as an argument as to why he's on the same level as Wilt or Hakeem though.

[sammichoffate]

Nobody has ever criticized Kobe for not being as good as prime Shaq.Everyone criticizes Kobe for being carried by Shaq though :rolleyes:

[KOBE143]

Of those 29, 28 deserved it and one guy have an asterisk.
Agree

:oldlol: Of course they do.

Kobe averaged 26/5/6 during the 3 peat
Bosh averaged 13/1/5

:facepalm

[La Frescobaldi]

Kareem
Magic
Bird
Jordan
Duncan
Lebron
+most likely Russ and Mikan, Wilt would've won in 1967 also.

That is almost my all-time starting 5... the bolded guys.

I got Jerry West starting at the point and Magic playing 6th man simply because Magic can come off the bench at 4 different positions with the greatest ease of any player ever!

And for that matter you couldn't go wrong with Duncan, Russell & LeBron I doubt you even need any more guys to fill a roster. Have to think about the far end of the bench, I guess. Maybe Kobe & Shaq & Moses
