Preface
How to measure the true strength of a player, that person's honor and achievements are always the key factors that cannot be bypassed, most players in the NBA, as long as he has talent and strength, it is unlikely that he will not be able to play, so basically those who can become stars will gain a lot of achievements in their careers. And MVP, championship, FMVP these three are undoubtedly the most valuable among the many awards, and those who can have these three awards at the same time are also first-class top superstars in history, but if you increase the difficulty a little more, how many people can win MVP, championship, and FMVP in a single season, the answer is that only 7 players have ever done it in NBA history.
Willis Reed
1969-1970 season
Unlike most supergiants, Reed didn't start his career very well, and he wasn't selected until the first pick in the second round in the 1964 draft. It's just that after entering the league, Reed showed talent and strength far beyond his rank, and he averaged 19.5 points, 14.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in his rookie season.
In the 1969-1970 season, the Knicks finally assembled a championship-worthy lineup, and under Reed's leadership, they played very strong this season, ranking first in the league with a 60-22 record in the regular season, and Reed, as the star of the game, averaged 21.7 points, 13.9 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and finally won the only MVP of his career. In the playoffs, Reed led the Knicks all the way to the Finals, facing the Lakers led by Chamberlain, he averaged 23.7 points and 13.8 rebounds per game to help the team beat the opponent with a score of 4-3, and Reed also successfully won the first FMVP of his career.
Abdul-Jabbar
1970-1971 season
Abdul-Jabbar's rookie season was eliminated by the Knicks led by Reed, but this loss did not have much negative impact on the 22-year-old, but because of the loss, Abdul-Jabbar worked harder to win the championship, and this day did not make him wait long. In the 1970-1971 season, Abdul-Jabbar averaged 31.7 points, 16 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in the regular season, and under his leadership, the Bucks took on a new look, and they dominated the first position in the league with a record of 66 wins and 16 losses, and Abdul-Jabbar also won the first MVP without any suspense.
In the playoffs, the Bucks were still very dominant, facing the Warriors and Lakers, and they both won 4-1. In the finals against the Bullets, Abdul-Jabbar averaged 26.6 points and 17 rebounds per game, and under his leadership, the Bucks won the first championship in team history almost effortlessly, and Abdul-Jabbar also easily won the first FMVP in his career, and then Abdul-Jabbar won 5 championships one after another, but he only got 1 FMVP for 5 championships.
Moses Malone
1982-1983 season
Malone, who entered the league in 1976, won the MVP twice in the first seven seasons of his career, but he was never able to win the championship, and in the 1981 playoffs he was only one step away from winning the championship, but in the end he lost to the Celtics. The successive defeats also made Malone feel very disappointed, so in order to be able to better impact the championship, in 1982 Malone transferred to the 76ers, he teamed up with Julius Irving to attack the championship again, and changing a team did not affect Malone's state at all, he was elected MVP for the second consecutive season, this year he averaged 24.5 points, 15.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 2 blocks per game.
With Malone's help, the 76ers made the playoffs with a 65-17 record, and after eliminating the Knicks and Bucks along the way, the 76ers met the Lakers in the Finals. In this round of the series, Malone also gave everything he had in order to win the championship, he averaged 25.8 points, 18 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, and in the end, the 76ers easily swept the Lakers to win the championship, and Malone was also elected FMVP without any controversy.
Larry Bird
1983-1984 season, 1985-1986 season
Bird won the championship with the team in his second season in the league, but he did not sit in the league at that time, as he spent more and more time in the league, in the 1983-1984 season Bird gradually launched an attack on the league's first position, this year he averaged 24.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and he also won the first MVP of his career. In the playoffs, Bird was still unstoppable, and under his leadership, the Celtics eliminated opponents one after another, and finally won the O'Brien Cup, and Bird also successfully won the FMVP because of his average of 25 points per game.
In the 1985-1986 season, Bird completed the feat of three consecutive MVPs with an average of 25.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 2 steals per game, and after last season's loss, Bird led the team to a comeback, and in the playoffs against various opponents, he still showed them the strength of the top supergiant, and in the finals against the Rockets led by Olajuwon, Bird averaged 24 points, 9.7 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game.
Magic Johnson
1986-1987 season
As the face of the league in the 80s, like Bird, Magic's career was relatively short, but he also achieved a lot, and he helped the Lakers win the championship in his first season in the league, and he also became the youngest FMVP in NBA history that year. In the 1986-1987 season, Magic won the first MVP of his career, and he averaged 23.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 12.2 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the regular season, including the highest points of his career.
In addition to MVP this season, Magic's biggest gain has to be in the playoffs, he led the Lakers to successfully lift the championship trophy, during which only the Celtics caused some trouble for Magic and the Lakers. In the finals, the Magic averaged 26.2 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists per game, but even so, it took the Lakers six games to end the series, and this time in the head-to-head matchup with Bird, it also ended with the Magic winning the FMVP.
Jordan
1990-1991, 1991-1992, 1995-1996, 1997-1998
Needless to say, Jordan is the greatest superstar in NBA history, and no matter how much he praises him, it is pale, and when someone questions Jordan's status, it is enough to put his various honors on the table. In Jordan's 15-year career, he led the team to win the championship 6 times and all of them were elected FMVP, in addition to being elected MVP 5 times in the regular season, Jordan also won 10 scoring titles, DPOY and other honors.
In the process of Jordan's 6 FMVP and 5 MVP awards, he won both awards in four seasons, such a feat is unique in NBA history except for him, and if Jordan hadn't retired in his prime, he might have achieved more.
James
2011-2012 season, 2012-2013 season
James' status is also among the best in NBA history, he entered the league in 2003, and now he has played in the NBA for 21 seasons. In the past 20 years, James has been one of the strongest stars in the league almost every year, during which he has also won the MVP four times, including in the two years of the Cavaliers, although he won the MVP, but he has never been able to win the championship, so finally James has the idea of leaving the team to join the Heat.
Although the decision to join the Heat was controversial at the time, it now seems that this is the most correct decision in his career, in the Heat James won MVP+FMVP in two consecutive seasons in 2012 and 2013, of which in the 2012-2013 season he almost completed the MVP, DPOY, FMVP Grand Slam, and James is also the only one in history other than Jordan who can win MVP+ for two consecutive seasons at the same timeFMVP players. Later, although James won the championship in the Cavaliers and Lakers, he can no longer guarantee a stable output in the regular season as he gets older, so he has not won the MVP since 2013.
