How many MVPs SHOULD Jordan have been awarded?

[whoartthou]

Like when Jordan spanked that a$$ to the tune of a 4-0 sweep in the ECF.

Shaq, will in my mind always go down as a selfish, underachieving, lazy piece of crap.

Regardless of all that he achieved. He should've been better.

shaq kind of reminds me of marat safin in tennis.

Insanely talented, if not one of the most talented... but wasted his talent due to laziness, and in safins case, serious injuries.

'88-'92, '96, '97

ask Chuck Daly. Why didn't Jordan signal handedly outscore the Pistons?

I smell a ShaqAttack post coming.

Shaq's early 2000s teams were NOT stacked. He had kobe and a bunch of below average role players. Those two were the huge brunt of the team.

Horace Grant, Dennis rodman, and Toni Kukoc were better role players than any of the role players on those laker teams. And prime pippen was just as impactful as young kobe.

He should have gotten 5 but he only got 5.

One thing is to argue that if the Lakers were stacked to their respected era. I don't think there were any teams that were stacked with talent except for a couple. In the late 90s, I think the Lakers were more stacked than they were in the early 00s, but they played better in the 00s.

23.

Every year of his championship years, and 89 and 90. I have him deserving 8. Magic and Barkley were close during 1990, but none of them had MJ's defensive impact.

[blablabla]

he should have gotten it this year too


come on get off his dick

Shaq's first title team was not all time great or anything. Definitely not stacked and a lot of people forget this.

But no, Pippen did not have the same type of impact that Kobe did in 01 and 02. Kobe was a much better player than Pippen ever was those 2 years.

I'd also point out that if you have Shaq and Kobe.....do you really want a stacked team around them? What good would it do? You want veteran role players than can defend and make big shots. Thats exactly what the Lakers had and they were a great team. Totally top heavy....but it was by design.

You see it with Wade and Lebron now. Do you want Bosh or Tyson Chandler around them? Give me Chandler all day.

[Floppy]

no weakness = no defeats.. before the 6 championships his weaknesses were exposed, after the 6 championships his weaknesses were exposed. he is the greatest but its funny how people speak of him like he was some kind of demigod

[stephanieg]

Zero. He ruined the NBA forever.
