The MVP was awarded to the center position nine times in the 60s (Wilt 4, Russell 4, Unseld 1) and only once to a perimeter player.

Of course that was Oscar, who averaged the following over his first 8 years:

30.3, 9 reb, 10.6 asst on 48.8%

Oscar was 6-5. Note: Cousy's MVP was for the 56-57 season.

Yes, you may time travel Nash to the 59-60 season as a rookie or in his prime. Or he can grow up then. Oscar's rookie year was 60-61. Wilt was 59-60.

The same amount as Lenny Wilkens won in the 60's.

He'd probably play center back then, which wouldn't optimize his skill set. Even with this disadvantage I think he still snags 4-5 MVPs, at the least 3.

Word.

He also would have won the same amount Maravich won in the 70s.

Note: Maravich and Robertson: both 6'5"

More on Lenny Wilkens:

Bob Pettit, before Wilkens: highest FG% was .438

Bob Pettit, playing with Wilkens:
.447
.450
.446
.463

Then in his final year, .429

Anyone else think it's no coincidence that his most efficient four years came when playing with a great point guard?
