The winners of the NBA's most important awards of the year, MVP, are about to be announced, and if nothing else, this year's regular season MVP is likely to be re-elected by the Nuggets Jokic. However, many players, fans or the media have expressed different voices, questioning Jokic's MVP. Jokic only led the Nuggets to the sixth place in the West in the regular season, and if elected, it will be tied with Westbrook in 2017 as the worst MVP.
In addition to this, as Green said, Jokic was elected MVP last year, and if he wins the MVP title this year, is the NBA too low for two consecutive MVP standards? The previous two consecutive MVP alphabet brothers, Curry, and James have played an undisputed performance, coupled with the performance of the Nuggets struggling in the playoffs, so Jokic's second MVP seems to be controversial.
In addition to Jokic, there have been a lot of controversial MVPs in the NBA. For example, the most classic is the regular season MVP won by Nash in the 05-06 season. Nash played 18.8 points and 10.5 assists that year, which doesn't look like a particularly explosive statistic, and much like Jokic, Nash was also elected regular season MVP the previous year, and the statistic was a staggering 15.5 points and 11.3 assists. And in the 05-06 season, there was a star who played an amazing performance, he was Kobe Bryant, who averaged 35.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists in that season, and there was also a miracle of slaughtering dragons with 81 points in a single game. But because the Suns were ranked No. 2 in the league and the Lakers were in No. 7 in the League, Bryant was also out of touch with the MVP.
Let's relax to the '61-62 season, which was the most amazing and memorable season of the league's '60s. Because of Chamberlain's phenomenal performance this year, this season, Chamberlain averaged 48.5 minutes per game to set a record playing time, averaging 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game! And also cut the household name of 100 points in a single game. However, even if Chamberlain, who played a historic performance, was not a regular season MVP, and the regular season MVP belonged to Russell of the Celtics that year, he only played 18.9 points and 23.6 rebounds that season, which was almost 32 points higher than the MVP's average score per game, but he was not selected, which was also the highest in the NBA!
Finally, the NBA also has one of the most watery MVPs, then undoubtedly nicknamed "Bone Crusher" Unseld, which also occurred at a time when the early NBA regulations were not so standardized. In 68-69, Unseld, who averaged just 13.8 points and 18.2 rebounds per game, was elected MVP, becoming the lowest average MVP in NBA history. That year's MVP was clearly awarded to Elvin Hayes, who not only won the scoring championship as a rookie, but also led the team into the playoffs, in terms of stats, records, impressions, the latter is obviously better. （ikuet）
