I would give Magic in '85 but the rest is correct and I think most people already know this though, at least the people that know anything about the two.

That's funny because the years that Magic is given the edge just happen to coincide with the years he was asked to score more and take on more responsability because Kareem was getting super old. Hmmmmmm.

That's funny because the years that Magic is given the edge just happen to coincide with the years Bird was starting to have back issues. Hmmm.

That's a stretch homie. Magic beat Bird in the NCAA Championship in 1979, he was finals MVP in 1980 and 1982 and he beat Bird in the NBA finals in 1985. Bird's back was fine during all of these things. I'm not shitting on Larry Bird becasue I think the dude was a God. I just don't see what your list is supposed to be telling people.

Not to the people that had votes that counted. The REAL FMVP is the guy who has the trophy in his case. Anybody else is a woulda been, coulda been, shoulda been MVP and that dont count for much in the real world.

Again I'm not shitting on Kareem because he's my second favorite player ever. I'm just stating that fact that Magic got the award hence he is the REAL FMVP.

The Lakers and their fans don't give a shit about the regular season.

Doesn't that just mean that Magic had the better team?

That's great, the rest of the league does when it comes to ranking players. Winning championships is not the end all and be all.

And how the player's team did isn't one of the most important factors in deciding who is the regular season MVP?

Yes it is. Which is why Kareem won the MVP in 1980.

The rest of the league doesn't give a shit about ranking players homie. That honor is reserved for armchair basketball analysts. I think that 99.9% of the players and teams in the league do think winning the championship is the be all and end all.
