Kenny Smith wasn't lying

He said "Google it right now" and Otis Thorpe and the rest of Hakeem's teammates really were holding the MVP trophy:

Shame he only has one, not the only player for whom that's true though.

Very cool gesture.

Honestly, apart from when he was retired, Jordan could have won it every year. Really. Other guys deserved recognition for having their best years and when Hakeem won his Jordan was chillin but pretty much every year he played after (and honestly before 1990 even) 1990 he was really the MVP. The writers and everyone knew this and gave it to other guys who had spectacular seasons like Magic and Barkley etc. I mean it wasn't even close.

For some reason this topic reminded me to check game 4 of the 1987 Celtics-Lakers matchup to try to spot a young Bill Simmons as the Lakers walked through the tunnel. Kinda crazy (8:04 mark). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n1-KIcoIzU
