The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!

Which 80s Legend deserved more MVPs?
70s are on its way, but I may do a couple other videos first… Maybe even Top 10 MVP Seasons of All Time?? We shall see...
Either Bird or Magic.
Jordan was too young I’ll say he deserved maybe 2 more MVPs in 87 and 89
It would be 2013, 2000, 2016, 1996, 1971, 1986, 1994. Top 3 are set, rest can be moved around and more can be added
if you will ever do a video about the mvps of the 60s then you should also take the mvps from the 50s, because the ones of the 50s wouldnt be enough to make a whole video
Mj should have @ less to mvp in 80s
I think Bird deserved 1 more MVP in 86 - 87
I appreciate the value you put on defense. Too many analysts and fans overlook defense nowadays and forget its half the game.
Facts defense matters too
Yeah my favorite player, Tim Duncan, always suffers from that problem when people argue he isn’t a top 12 player because he avg 25 at most. Or people claim he was never dominate
Tank Tribe i think he is a top 12 player top 10
Tank Tribe man it’s so hard to list the top 10 you have jordan, bron, kareem, magic, bird, wilt, bill, kobe, duncan, shaq, hakeem, moses
Carl Feliciano that’s why I hate lists Bc there’s still plenty of players you could argue all it is one giant argument with no real winners
Dude, some of these clips really let me see how unbelievable Larry Bird was
If it wasn't for his back injury (on top of his other injuries) I have no doubt that the discussion for who is the GOAT would be far more interesting than it is today.
Jp Bm yes sir I’m a huge Larry bird fan and if Len bias would’ve never died he’d have at least 1-2 more ships and if his back never gave out
Still top 7 no question
Most underrated legend
To me 4th best all time. Behind lbj Jordan and Kareem
Moses Malone is so underrated and overlooked. 3 MVPs over his career and it seems like nobody remembers him.
I thinks its because he was on several teams rather than being for example "a rocket."Back then Bird was a celtic magic was a maker etc.
Same with Shaq. Guys that simply knock the shit out of defenders in order to score probably shouldn't get that much basketball credit.
JonMark Seifers Plus he never had a number he stayed with and didn’t have the same marketability which is weird for a guy named Moses.

Bird was better than all of them besides MJ. Magic had Kareem for the bulk of his career who is another top 5 player of all time. Larry was always the number 1 guy and had to carry the bulk more than Magic.
One thing you didn't mention for '87 is that MJ became the first out of only three players to ever record 200+ steals w/ 100+ blocks in a season. The league somehow forgot to include him in the All-Defensive Team, so he repeated the same feat in '88, making him the only one to do so and earning him the DPOY. He also reached a career peak of 259 stls & 131 blks that year.

The older I get, the more I realize how lucky I was to grow up as a basketball fan in Chicago in the '80's and 90's. These days, being in the old Chicago Stadium and United Center for playoffs with MJ feels almost as legendary as being at the battle of Troy and living to tell the tale.
Sadly, Lebron fans are discrediting Michael Jordan"s victories and achievements. They like to say that MJ only beat the Pistons and Lakers when they get older.
But all of he Pistons"s best players were under 30.
Magic was only 31 years old and he was the second best player in the Nba.
James Worthy ( age 29 ).
Lebron fans forget to mention that Prime Lebron James lost to a team whose best player was 38-years-old Tim Duncan.
2014 Nba Finals.
Spurs: Tim Duncan ( age 38 ), Manu ( age 36 ), Kawhi ( age 22 ), Tony Parker ( age 32 ).
@@allanhouston6759 Facts. And if we are doing their best solo runs (2007 Lebron vs 1989 Jordan), you will see the BIG difference in competition and success. Jordan faced 50-win teams from the first round of 1989 up to the ECF 63-win Pistons where he took 2 games. Lebron on the other hand, faced 2 .500 (41-41) teams in the Wizards and the Nets before facing a 53-win Pistons team (who are a farcry from the Pistons that beat the Lakers in 2004 or the Pistons that Jordan faced in 1989).
Jordan, alone, was the ONLY one who beat the pistons in that postseason (the Pistons 4-0 swept Magic). On the contrary, whenever Lebron faced a championship-bound team "alone" in 2007, he couldn't even take one game. Note that Jordan didn't have Phil Jackson or a Star Pippen, just decent (just-got-off-the-bench-rotation) Scottie Pippen.
People always love to brag about lebron getting to the finals where he got badly swept (the WCF was the actual finals that year) but forget that Jordan turned the 1989 ECF into the Finals (as the 1989 Pistons 4-0 swept the Lakers). I'm not even going to go into the individual performance cause Lebron averaged 23ppg on 37FG%...
You dang sure were lucky. I only have vague memories of watching him on TV in the 90s lol
@@allanhouston6759 Don't disrespect the Spurs like that. That 2014 team was legendary. Even in 2015-16, the next year... those old guys set the NBA record in the regular season for best home record in a season, they went 40-1 at home. And 67-15 which is tied for the 7th best record of all time. AND THEY WERE A YEAR OLDER. They only got overshadowed because GSW went 73-9. But they are one of the greatest teams in NBA history.
@@Flyhr Check your facts.
2015/16 Spurs:
It was a completely diffrent team.
Kawhi Leonard has matured and won a DPOY award in 2016. It was the team of Kawhi Leonard and the new team player Lamarcus Aldridge.
Old Tim Duncan and old Manu barely played.
Tim Duncan ( age 40 ) = 9-ppg FG-49%.
Tony Parker ( age 34 ) = 12-ppg FG-49%
Manu ( age 38 ) = 10-ppg FG-45%

@@genmac2843 He took Malone in 98, that's 8 for MJ
I was a kid in the '80's, and these guys are like gods to me...but still, seeing some of the stats (Moses, 31 pts, 14.7 rebounds a game!! Bird- 23.6, 11 rebounds, 5.8 assists; Jordan, 37 pts, 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.9 steals; Bird's two 50/40/90 seasons) still shock me a little bit. What an awesome time to watch basketball.
Moses is the surprise for me... He is very underrated and almost nobody talks about him
The 87 season is just wow.
I mean mj definitely was not mvp, definition of a ball hog volume shooter which hurts his team, he shot 12.2 more times than magic and had a 15% higher usage rate 38% all time high to 23% and Magic was a facilitator. There is a reason they were barely better as a team than when he missed the full year. They were below 500 and only made the playoffs because 8 out 11 teams in the east that year made the playoffs, they were the 8th seed and 5th out of 6 teams in their division, 25 less wins than the lakers, 19 worse than the celtics. And because of his ballhogging at that point in his career they were the 3rd worst scoring team, they scored 4 more points a game the year he played 6 games. Its the best boxline that was not actually indicative of performance in league history.

Michael, Bird, Earvin Johnson. Made 80's NBA the best till this day.
According to these rankings MJ should have won the MVP from 1987-1993 that’s 7 straight MVP’s 🤯. How anybody questions who is the GOAT is unfathomable to me.
He shod bc he didn’t have to face guys like Durant, or 33-11-11 Westbrook, or 73-9 Curry etc etc
lebron did the same in his 2010's video, but lets wait for the 1960's as MJ's 1988 season pales in comparison to Wilts 50 point season.
TZR 97 shut up. He faced birds best Celtics he faced the bad boy pistons he faced better teams than any team today ever
And Kareem should have 8-9 on this case so....
TZR 97 he played for about 500 years tho.
Damn this man Jordan averaged 37 points and was a defensive machine and still didn’t win MVP
ikr🤦🏾♂️ Dude should basically have 9 MVPs 🙄 ..Can you imagine him remaining in the league for 17yrs!!
He wasn’t an defensive machine then, he just scored then because his team was shit so he just scored
@FreeThrowJumper it's hard not to do everything on offense when you're on the court with cokeheads
@FreeThrowJumper He was a defensive machine in 1987. He became the first man to record 200 steals and 100 blocks. But people were paying so much attention to his scoring that they completely ignored what he was doing on the defensive end. With his historic defensive year, Jordan still didn't make the all-defensive team.
@@RatedRex1 a shooting guard with 100 blocks was unheard of back then. No idea how he didn't make the All-Defensive Team.
Man, the second half of the 80’s were the ‘ascension of Jordan’ years! Dang.
I didnt know much about Jordan since I'm sort of a youngins. But this video really solidified my case as Jordan being the GOAT
Appreciate you doing the 80' as demanded by your followers.. Great Job Jonny
That 1988 and 1989 season by MJ was straight up Greatness

I'm an MJ fan, but Magic 1000% deserved the 87 MVP. Magic made everyone around him better, and Michael did not truly learn that until 1991 when he started to trust John Paxson when it mattered in the 4th quarters.
Jordan was truly different..
But I also recommend to look up Birds official mixtape put out by the NBA TH-cam channel. The clips you see here are just a snippet.

U do know wilt played in the 60s?
DICK LONG what does that have to do with the video?
Wilt op
Had to go back and watch the 90s vid just to tally up how many MVPs you gave Jordan
He ended up grabbing 8 by the end of his career, 3 more than the 5 he has in real life
Makes sense, while Jordan was the best player in the league for quite some time his Bulls didnt become a top team until the 90s
When was Jordan the best player in the NBA. 1984-87 it was Bird, 1987-1990 it was Magic. Jordan nearly beat Magic for the MVP in 1991. No way that Lakers team should of been that good or made the finals

Not trying to argue cause I like this channel to but check out Clayton Crowley page. Not mine but damn is the quality good as well. If you do tell me what you think he needs more subs.
It's amazing to me how different Magic, Bird and Jordan's games were yet they dominated in their own unique way.
Bill Simmons: "Bird should have won MVP every year"
@harold mccoy That's the joke
Bird should have 4 MVPS. 81, 84, 85, and 86. The Celtics won 29 games in 1980. Bird showed up and they won 61 in 1981.
@harold mccoy From 81 through 87, Bird was the best player in the NBA, and it wasn't close. After that, Jordan was the best, and it wasn't close. The 80s and 90s there was never a question who was the best. Picking teams, only a moron (or a racist) wouldn't pick Bird first during the 80s.
@@roxydejaneiro5640 Racist Really? C'mon you can't say that everyone who has a differing opinion from yours is a racist since this is your opinion and not a fact because it is subjective. Jordan in the 80s scored more than Bird and was considered a better defender than Bird. Kareem was a dominant figure in the 80s as well even if he was declining. I like Larry and I think people just sweep him under the carpet whenever they are talking about GOAT NBA Players. That being said, I still won't go as far as saying anyone who disagrees with me is a racist. Chill out with the 'my POV is the right answer and everyone else is wrong' take.
@harold mccoy I got cross eyed seeing that many commas in the longest run on sentence in the history of the internet.
So jordan wins nine mvps if they actually gave the award to the best player... If that doesn’t prove that he’s the goat I don’t know what does.

LMAO STEPH? That was the most legitimate shot at a losing player (LeBron) to win the FMVP since Jerry West. There was no question who the best player on that court was. Just look at the numbers. LeBron averaged 35.8pts-13.3reb- 8.8asts with no Kyrie or Kevin Love.
@@Flyhr 35.8 points on 39% shooting is not impressive whatsoever. Steph curry statistically had the 2nd most clutch finals series of the century behind Shaq in 2000 as he put up 65 points on 75% TS in the 4th quarter. Steph Curry was undoubtedly the best player on the court
@@jshonsmith3399 what year? Because I'm talking about the 2015 finals, Curry shot below average for his own standards. 38.5% from 3pt and 44% from the field. 26-6-5 stat output.

Curry also had a lower Game Score average (17.8) than Kyrie(21.1) who was still lower than LeBron (24.6).
I have a better perspective and respect of MJ dunks when it's in slow motion. They didn't call him Air Jordan for nothing lol.
Wow. Watching Larry Bird is a revelation. Never knew he was a Jordan like player.
Jordan was a Bird-like player you mean, for sure. Larry was likely the only player in Michael’s career that owned him mentally. Why do you think MJ turned out the way he did? Forged in the fires

Thx for another great video, Jonny! Always some of the best NBA content on TH-cam!
I'm glad you're doing this series of videos, because I think the formula for not only MVP but other season awards around the league suffers from a lot of the same things the MVP voting does

Great great series man
Hard to argue this guy. I love these videos!
So basically Jorsan supposed to have 9 MVPs, Jesus...

'87 was the toughest to call, but giving it to Jordan is a pretty safe call when dice are involved. I thought Bird might have been best, but McHale had an argument too. This is a great series. Thanks as always for top shelf content! I hope more and more people find their way to watching it...
Hey Jonny, I love your intro and I love your content and you always do good research. Keep up the good work; I love your channel.
You know, the MVP's are on the top 2 teams in each conference every year not because an elite winning team is favored, but that player (or other, non-realistic candidate helping) makes that team good.
let's not pretend that Magic made Worthy and Kareem all-stars. The team won a lot of games cause it had a lot of talent
I waiting for the 1960s to see if choose god wilt or bill Jesus
He's going to shock us by picking other players in a few of the seasons.
The real question is: Does he pick Wilt 100, Oscar Triple Double, or stick with Bill?
Well he doesn’t encounter team success🤦♂️. So just give it to wilt every year
Mattulaak don’t forget Jerry west
As MVPs were given for the best player in regular season, then it's Wilt's or Oscar or Jerry. But for the playoff's standpoint, Bill got it.

When you said Jordan and Olajuwon were the only players to ever win the DPOY and MVP in the same season, looking at how they played, it upsets me a little that Antetokuonmpo will most likely be in the same list this year, when he really isn't anywhere near that caliber of a player yet.
while I do agree that Giannis has a long way to go. In 1988, Jordan was also viewed as a great individual player who still could not find playoff success, just like Giannis.

Astonishing work on this video. Really.
Why do people always have Magic much higher on their list than Bird? I always have Bird a spot or two above
Jordan would have like 826 mvps lmao
LeBron would have 827
I LOVE the Jordan era of basketball being a product of the "slower" 70's game. BUT to say Jordan's 1988 MVP season is the "Best Ever" is kinda a stretch for two reasons: 1) Blocks & Steals were not counted until 1973-74, 2) Was there a DPOY during Wilt and Kareem's era?
Was waiting on this 🙌
Anyone who think Michael Jordan is getting too many mvps in these videos don’t know their basketball
Kareem is about to have 10+ "deserved" mvps lmao
1987 they could have had 3 MVP’s (Magic, Larry, and Michael) and nobody would have been mad. Basically peak performances from the 3 of the top 10 (easily top ten not trying to argue) players of all time.
Love these videos bro keep it up
