Why is it so hard to get the regular season MVP for three consecutive years? The selection of regular season MVP depends on individual performance and team results, a player must be one of the best performing players in the league for three consecutive years, the team he leads must be one of the best players in the league, basically personal performance and team records are the top three in the league to get the regular season MVP, it is very difficult to complete these two conditions at the same time, and it is even more difficult to do it for three consecutive years.
Even if a player plays a very good performance for three consecutive years and leads the team to achieve good results for three consecutive years, he may not be able to win the regular season MVP for three consecutive years, because the referee will have aesthetic fatigue, Jordan and James are because of the referee's aesthetic fatigue and do not qualify for the MVP three consecutive zhuang, so it is very difficult to want three consecutive MVP.
Since the establishment of the NBA, only 3 players have done it: Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Larry Bird.

In these three seasons, the Celtics have won the first record in the league, Bird's performance is the most comprehensive player, and his efficiency value is very high, the first year the efficiency value is the second in the league, and the next two years are the players with the highest efficiency value in the league, and the voters can't fault even if they have aesthetic fatigue, which makes him the third player to achieve a three-game MVP, and the last so far.
