Who has the most MVP awards in the NBA?
The NBA MVP award is the greatest achievement a player can achieve in the regular season. Usually, the NBA’s most valuable player is a member of the top teams in the regular season, so it can also be described as an award that rewards collective effort. LeBron James has the most NBA MVP trophies, with four.
No. 4 (tie) – LeBron James, 4 MVP awards
His four NBA MVP trophies were won in the five years between the 2008-09 and 2012-13 seasons. He won his first two awards with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2009 and 2010, and the other two awards with the Miami Heat (2012 and 2013). Only Bill Russell has won four NBA MVP trophies in five years.
No. 4 (tie) – Wilt Chamberlain, 4 MVP awards
Chamberlain as the Philadelphia Warriors was the first rookie to bring home the NBA MVP award.
Chamberlain’s rookie season, the 1959-60 season, from the 1965-66 season to the 1967-68 season, he won the NBA MVP trophy three times in a row (becoming the second player in history to win the MVP).
No. 2 (tie) – Michael Jordan, 5 MVP awards
Although many people praise Michael Jordan as the undisputed greatest player in NBA history, this six-time championship is not the player with the most NBA MVP trophies.
Jordan has won the NBA MVP five times in his 15-year career. At the end of the 1987-88 season,’His Airness’ won his first MVP. That year, he also became the first player to win the NBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards, and was the first player to do so in the same season.
His other four NBA MVP awards came in the 1990-91, 1991-92, 1995-96 and 1997-98 NBA seasons.
No. 2 (tie) – Bill Russell, 5 MVP awards
Bill Russell is known for winning 11 NBA championships in his 13-year career. In his brilliant career, he also won 5 NBA MVP trophies and became the leader in MVP history when he retired in 1969.
The legendary Russell won one of the most impressive NBA MVP victories in NBA history in the 1961-62 season. That year, Wilt Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points per game and set an unbreakable record. In addition, Oscar Robertson became the first player to average a triple-double throughout the season. Despite this, both of them are behind Russell in the player’s vote for the NBA MVP.
No. 1 – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 6 MVP awards
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s basketball career, even before the NBA, was full of incredible statistics. Karim became the highest scoring player in NBA history with 38,387 points. He won six NBA championships on two different teams and was named the Finals MVP twice.
Abdul-Jabbar won the NBA MVP trophy 6 times and became the leader in history. He won six of his trophies with the Milwaukee Bucks (three seats) and the Los Angeles Lakers (three seats). All Karim’s NBA MVP awards are won in the era of player voting.
