Second-placer in the MVP list against Jordan was Charles Barkley, who averaged 25.2 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.6 blocks per game that season, shooting 60 percent from the field and second in the league, behind Mark West (62.5 percent). He ranks fifth in the league in points per game, fourth in rebounds per game, and has a true shooting percentage of 66.1 percent, ranking first in the league with an efficiency of 27.1, third in the league.
At that time, Barkley did not have much advantage in terms of records, he led the 76ers to a record of 53 wins and 29 losses, ranking third in the East, but under his leadership, the 76ers' record changed from seventh in the East from the seventh in the East a season, a particularly big improvement, plus Barkley's personal performance was very good, and all the high-level statistics were the top of the league, so he scored 614 points, pushing Jordan to second place in the MVP list.
The man who won the regular season MVP of that year was Magic Johnson, who averaged 22.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, shooting 48 percent from the field. He is second in the league in assists per game, behind John Stockton (14.5) and has an efficiency rating of 26.6, fourth in the league.
The Magic team in addition to the number of assists, in terms of personal data has no advantage, but his advantage in terms of record is very huge, that year the Lakers achieved a record of 63 wins and 19 losses, ranking first in the league, the Lakers were also the only team that achieved 60+ wins that season, the Magicians were far ahead of other MVP competitors in terms of records, he scored 636 points, and was elected as the regular season MVP.
Judging by the scoring situation, there was only a 22-point difference between Barkley and the Magician, and the gap between them was very small, and Barkley didn't really lose to the Magician that year, just lost to the vote shady, lost to his own stinky mouth.
Barkley won the recognition of many media reporters for his efficient performance that year, he won the most first votes (the more the first vote, the higher the score, the more recognized), but in the second round of voting, those reporters who had been scolded by him voted for the second vote to the magician, resulting in Barkley's total score being surpassed by the magician, Barkley also became the only player in the history of the NBA who won the first round of votes but did not get the MVP.
Fortunately, he beat Jordan to the regular season MVP in the 1992-1993 season, when he played 76 games and averaged 25.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1 block, shooting 52% from the field. He ranks fifth in the league in points per game, sixth in rebounds per game, and fourth in efficiency, leading the Suns to a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, ranking first in the league.
Season average of 25 + 12 + 5 individual performance, as well as the league's first team record, Barkley in both personal performance and team records are very prominent, and finally forced Jordan to win the regular season MVP, which is also the only regular season MVP trophy of his career, Barkley did not win a championship in his entire career, if he does not win another regular season MVP trophy, his historical status will be seriously declined. A big forward with a height of 1.98 meters, it is admirable to be able to achieve such an achievement in that era!
