Best player to never win an MVP award

[BigKAT]

This one should be good.
No MVP awards. FMVP is allowed.


Current players - Prime Chris Paul/Paul George?

All Time- I don't know much about Pre-80's NBA, but I'll go with Paul Pierce. Awesome two-way guy. I can't think of many better then him at his prime that -DID NOT- win an MVP award. Maybe Prime T-Mac?

Who you guys got?

Edit:I think I'm going with Jason Kidd now. Good call by Xerxes. Though Wade is a great mention too.

There's no way this dude just said Paul Pierce was the greatest player to never win MVP

Why, who you got?

Everyone good that came to mind had MVP's.

jerry west seems like a pretty obvious choice unless I'm forgetting someone.

Edit: HM mention for Wade. Forgot about him.

Never seen West play.
All I know about him is from Stats, so I'll avoid picking him.

But Wade/Kidd seems like really good choices.

From those I've seen, 09 Wade is probably the highest level I've seen from a non-MVP player.

What was his team record that year?

[GrapeApe]

What was his team record that year?

43-39 with arguably the worst roster in the league and rookie Michael Beasley as the 2nd option. You're obviously not winning MVP with 43 wins, but Wade was superhuman that season.

[BigKAT]

Melo.

Did you not post like 5 straight hate threads on Melo/Knicks lately?

I'm confused.

[K Xerxes]

What was his team record that year?

He wasn't going to win MVP because of his team record, especially against LeBron and Kobe that year. But in terms of level of play, it was the best I've seen from a player that has never won an MVP.

[Akrazotile]

I dont really count Kobe's MVP, so you could add him into the discussion.

That's the only reason I don't think Westbrook will win MVP next year.

Same went for Harden,
Let's be honest, if his team got to 60-61 wins, he wins MVP over curry.

He had +4 PPG on him I think. And many more rebounds.
And a worse team. And no Howard. And no D, but that's besides the point.

Record matters in the MVP race.
