-
All right, guys.
-
Speaking of M J, let's get to a notable anniversary on this date in 96.
-
Hey, look, he's the victor.
-
Michael Jordan, receiving the fourth of his five career regular season MPP awards, garnered a then record 96.5% of the first place votes.
-
Jacquie Jordan finished top three and envy the NBP voting five other times in the seasons.
-
He didn't win it.
-
So how many MVP's do you think he should really have?
-
Is five the right number?
-
So I'm going to say that I'm going to respect the process, Rachel, and say that the five he won was the five.
-
He should have one now, Who did?
-
You have been the M V P in 97 when car Malone it.
-
Of course he could.
-
You could make an argument for every single year he played.
-
But car Malone had an exceptional season that year.
-
I was actually working for Sports Illustrated and wrote a story saying, Why not Karl Malone for empty?
-
Hey, that one's on may be so, but I really believe with all these cases put, LeBron have four.
-
Sure.
-
Larry Bird.
-
Yes, that's just the way I respect the process of the voting.
-
And Jack, I'm right there with you speaking the Gospel today and I think he deserved.
-
He got the five that he deserved.
-
When you look at what Charles Barkley did in that 93 season, I mean 25 points, 12 rebounds, five assists.
-
I think he joined Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robinson in that company.
-
In the famous songs was 60 to win 20.
-
If you took Barkley off their team well with the Phoenix Suns B, that's how I'm looking at my most valuable player.
-
Also, when you look at Karl Malone, take are blown off the Utah Jazz.
-
He was averaging right around 27 points a game.
-
You take him off the Utah Jazz well, with the Jazz beat without him.
-
That's when I started looking reevaluating like my most valuable player John could have wanted every year.
-
He was the best player in the world.
-
But when you look at those two guys brought him alone.
-
They were more valuable to the team at the time in their team's success and it's just my opinion.
-
All I can say guys is this goes right back to my argument that the NBA's should join the NFL, the NHL, a lot of our other North American sports leagues and make a distinction between who has had the best season and who is the best guy in the league.
-
Because we saw in both of those years that Karl Malone won and the Charles Barkley one when it came down to it.
-
If, like in Space Jam, the aliens came down and said, You can play one game.
-
Guess what we found out in the N B A.
-
Finals.
-
Both of those years, the best player in the league, the guy who you'd want is Michael Jordan.
-
So I agree.
-
Barkley and Malone had the best season.
-
We should have an award for best season.
-
We should also recognize who's the best player in the N B A.
-
And those years it was still Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
