Which achievement is harder to earn an MVP honor than to an FMVP honor? I believe that when seeing this topic, most NBA fans will intuitively feel that it is more difficult to get the MVP.
This is easy to understand, that is, the MVP honor period is very long, the players in the MVP club are generally very high, the heyday of the guarantee is also a league superstar, and the FMVP who watched the Finals series play was very accidental in the selection, and there were several times in history that the winners in the team that won the championship at that time were not the first brother or the second brother, and the NBA historical ranking was relatively low.
So, which achievement is more difficult to win the MVP or the FMVP?
This is an interesting basketball topic, you may wish to follow the author's footsteps to explore together, if there are other high views also welcome fans to leave a message in the comment area to share. When the conditions are limited to consecutive wins or consecutive zhuangs, the answer may be completely reversed. The difficulty of the assessment can be started from the number of times they appear.
In the history of the NBA, there are a total of 12 NBA players, a total of 14 times, to achieve the achievements of the MVP, namely:
Russell, Chamberlain, Abbad (2 consecutive MVP), Moses Malone, Bird, Magician, Jordan, Duncan, Nash, James (2 consecutive MVP), Curry, Alphabet Brother.
Considering that the FMVP awards came out in 1968, in order to make a fair comparison, it is necessary to take away the two giants russell and Chamberlain who did not catch up with the awards, so the number of times to participate in the difficulty comparison is 12 times.
On the FMVP side, there are only 5 players who have achieved lianzhuang, a total of 7 times, which are:
Jordan (2 consecutive FMVP), Olajuwon, O'Neal, Kobe, James, Durant.
The number of times on both sides is 12:7, and from the perspective of difficulty, the answer is obvious, the difficulty of defending FMVP is significantly greater than that of defending MVP.
In addition, from the perspective of personnel composition, the average gold content in the camp of the defending FMVP side can be said to be quite large, everyone is a basic supergiant in history, and durant's historical status at the bottom is also top 15 level. After all, the people who defend the FMVP basically have MVP honors, and double FMVP means that there are two championship rings.
From the logical composition of the analysis, in fact, the answer to the question is relatively easy to analyze.
The MVP of Lianzhuang needs players to lead the team to play the league's strong team performance in two consecutive seasons, and the playoff performance is completely negligible; for example, to give a somewhat cruel example, as strong as Nash, he has never played in the Finals and has never been given the opportunity to participate in the FMVP.
The FMVP needs players to lead teams to play above the playoffs in two consecutive seasons, and to help the team to the end and play decisive performances in the Finals.
MVP awards are for big bosses, and it is almost impossible for players who are not big bosses to win MVP awards, but role players are likely to get FMVP, such as when the big boss is a bit of a brake in the finals or when the judges don't like him.
However, when this rise to two times, the accidental appearance of role players in the discussion is basically ruled out, and the defending FMVP means absolute dominance.
The achievement of the defending MVP is a historic feat, which is beyond doubt, but it still feels like 1+1 equals 2, great enough but lacks a bit of king's hardness. However, after such an analysis of the article, I wonder if you will feel that the defending FMVP seems to have an epic sense of 1+1 greater than 3?
