Not only did he not get MVP in his 84-85 rookie season when he averaged 28.2 points per game, but two years later, in the 86-67 season, Jordan still didn't get MVP when he averaged 37.1 points per game, for the same simple reason that Jordan's Bulls' record pressed him to be a liability in the MVP voting;
Let's just say that in the 84-85 season, Jordan's Bulls had a record of 38 wins and 44 losses, and were swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Jordan's Bulls were 38-44 in the 84-85 season, and in the first round of the playoffs they were strangled 3-1 by the Bucks, then in the second round the Bucks were swept 4-0 by the 76ers, and in the Eastern Conference the 76ers were knocked off 4-1 by the Celtics!
When the Bird average can also cut down 28.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.6 steals and drink 1.2 caps it, on the personal data performance, but also in the Jordan above, and does not lose to Jordan!
A rookie, although the regular season and playoffs individual data on the big show, but he is a rookie, after all, to the rookie identity to take the FMVP, there; but to the rookie identity to take the MVP, in the history of the NBA, there are only two, one is the Chamberlain famous world, and the other one is a career of only 13 years of Wes Onseld!
Again, Jordan's third season, he flew through the air, averaging 37.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.9 steals, and 1.5 caps on 48% shooting, but the Bulls were eighth in the Eastern Conference with 40 wins and 42 losses and were swept in the first round by the top-ranked Celtics, so Jordan's amazing numbers were a big deal to him. Once again, he lost out on the MVP!
MVP not only look at the individual data performance, but also from the role of the player on the field, the influence of the team and team performance and so on a variety of factors to consider, such as the Warriors Curry, before Durant joined the two consecutive years of MVP, but after Durant came, he not only with the MVP have no relationship, and even with the first lineup have no relationship.
The reason is that Curry's influence on the team due to Durant's joining and become a lot lower, after the strong combination, because they have to grind each other, in the individual performance often have to decline.
This is the role of team influence in the MVP judgment.
And Jordan that year, more because the record is not up to the selection criteria, and did not play like Willow so fifty years of the race average triple-double, so Jordan can only to the fourth season to lead the Bulls to take 50 wins, ranked fourth in the East when you can chop the first career MVP;
As long as the strength of the strong and do not have to be troubled by injuries, they also can
The third season averaged 37.1 points per game to get the MVP, the fourth season is still averaging 35 points per game, not only to get the MVP, but also to get the steal king, scoring king, the best defensive player, a burst of a defense, and so on honors;
How did the saying come? Oh, yeah, God is God!
And Jordan, the scoring champion, from the 86-87 season to the 97-98 season retired, as long as he was in the NBA, there is no break, he was 10 scoring champions ah !
It's always yours, and others can't take it away.
I'm afraid to give up halfway through, if Jordan was "Piston Bad Boys" suppression of three years during the period of their own goat, timid, give up, there is no later reigning Jordan and the Bulls ~~~~
"Basketball God! "The reason why he was made a god was because he was destined for greatness in his first season in the league.
In his rookie season, Jordan had already demonstrated superb scoring ability, contributing 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.4 steals per game, and he was honored as the best rookie of the season with this luxurious data. But the regular season MVP for the 84-85 season was Celtics leader Larry Bird, whose stats were 28.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 caps, which at first glance didn't seem to make much of a difference across the board with rookie Jordan's stats, so why didn't he win the MVP?
First of all, Bird's numbers that season were better than Jordan's, there's no doubt about that, he had a higher shooting percentage, and his efficiency rating edged out Jordan's by a slim margin of 0.7. Secondly, the MVP award is linked to the team's record, 84-85 season Bulls regular season record of 38 wins and 44 losses, Jordan although the individual data is extremely bright, but the strength of his teammates is too weak, resulting in a poor team record, and Bird led the Celtics is undoubtedly better than the Bulls team, they played in the season, 63 wins and 19 losses, the Celtics are also all the way to the high tide! that made it to the Finals. So, in Jordan's debut season in the league, Larry Bird was the better MVP candidate, both in terms of individual stats and team honors.
NBA selection of regular season MVP is not only look at individual data, more is to look at the team's record, the ability to lead the team. Otherwise, like Chamberlain's first 9 seasons of his career are 30+20 data, shall not take 9 MVP, Oscar Robertson's rookie season is also 30+20 data, shall not take 9 MVP, Oscar. Robertson's rookie season is also 30.5 points, 10.1 assists, 9.7 rebounds, more comprehensive luxury data. After all, the NBA is never short of scoring masters, and there is no shortage of well-rounded stars.
The regular season MVP is generally the best performer of the season for the team with the best record in the league.For example, Alphabet's two consecutive MVPs were because the Bucks finished first in the East for two consecutive seasons. Or like Nash, who joined the Suns and led them straight from a non-playoff team to first place in the West.
Not just look at the player's personal data can take the MVP, for example, Harden three consecutive scoring champions, and did not have three MVP, Durant four scoring champions also only 1 MVP.
Jordan rookie season performance, but the team's overall strength is not enoughJordan is the 1984 to join the NBA, when the Bulls were not enough strength. 1983-84 season, the Bulls only 25 In the 1983-84 season, the Bulls had only 25 wins and 55 losses, ranking 10th in the East and second to last (there were only 11 teams in the East at the time). Jordan joined the team in his rookie season and became the team's scoring champion, averaging 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists.
That season the Bulls record rose to 38 wins and 44 losses, ranked 7th in the East, killed the playoffs, of course, the playoffs were beaten by the Bucks 3:1. The Bucks at the time had Terry Cummings, Sidney Moncrief, Paul Plessy and others. Jordan was 4 games into the playoffs. The stats escalated to 29.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game.
1984-85 season, the league's strongest team in the regular season was the CelticsThat season the Celtics ranked first in the league with 63 wins and 19 losses, one more win than the Lakers, who finished first in the West with 62 wins and 20 losses. Of course, that was the time when the classic "black-and-white" game ruled the NBA.
The regular season MVP was Larry Bird, the centerpiece of the team with the best record in the league. Bird won the MVP two years in a row, and in the 1985-86 season, Bird won the MVP three times in a row.
Besides, Jordan's numbers weren't the best that seasonThe scoring leader that season was Bernard King, who averaged 32.9 points per game. King, averaging 32.9 points per game. Bird averaged 28.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 6.6 assists in 1984-85, more luxurious numbers and more well-rounded.
Coupled with the fact that Bird's Celtics had a much better record than Jordan's Bulls, the MVP certainly belonged to Larry Bird. Bird.
Jordan is still a rookie, the Bulls overall strength is not good, the 80s also belongs to the era of Magic and Bird, not yet belong to his era, with his physical function, technical ability is more and more mature, his era in the 90s.
Jordan's first MVP was in the 1987-88 season to get, when Jordan averaged 35 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, scoring king, when the Bulls ranked fourth in the East, and the 1986-87 season, the Bulls are just ranked eighth in the East.
A player to MVP, basically to meet the following three conditions, rookie season Jordan whether to meet it?
These three criteria do not need to have at the same time, but at least need to have two, especially the first most important, often ignored by the data control. 1984-85 season Jordan, averaging 28 +6 +6 data is really bull, however, a mountain is still higher than a mountain.
This mountain, is known as the mouth cannon ancestor, forcing the king of the king, "Jordan next to take 20 points on the line as a driver" - Larry Bird. Big Bird that season averaged 28.7 + 10.5 + 6.6 efficiency value is 26.5, all data are better than Jordan.
More importantly, the Celtics had a better record. The Green Jackets are 63-19 and in first place, and Jordan's Bulls just jumped out of the swing quagmire with 38 wins and 44 losses to get on the last train to the playoffs before being swept out in the first round by the Central Division-leading Milwaukee Bucks.
On the other side of the Pacific Division, Magic Johnson continued to showtime, averaging 18.3+6+12.6 hits is 56%, if personal data is important, with Magic's hit rate easily take the average of 30 points will not be too difficult.
Obviously the superstar cares more about the team, Magic led the Purple Shirts to 62 wins and 19 losses, the East Evil and West Poison last division finals, and the Lakers took the final championship.
The league did not bully Jordan because he was a rookie, and there is a history of rookies getting MVPs. The first is the great handsome Chamberlain, averaging 37.6 points + 27 rebounds, the best rookie, regular season MVP, All-Star MVP and selected for a burst. The other is Unseld, who averaged 13.8 points + 18.2 rebounds per game and, more importantly, took the sixth-best team in the East to first place in the East.
Even just by the numbers, MVP Bird's 28.7+10.5+6.6 is better than Jordan's ah, and it's a package of three big numbers.
On the record, the East is only the seventh, and at that time the East is only 11 teams, the Celtics are the first record in the league.
The Celtics were 4-2 against the Bulls in the regular season, and their record was superior to that of the Bulls.
Jordan, at least in that season, had little reason to say he was more qualified than Bird to win the MVP.
Nothing more than that, it's not easy for a rookie to do that, but the MVP selection is supposed to take away these so-called identities.
You are a rookie, then you do not have a best rookie award in the well, MVP to select is the best regular season performance of the players, if because of the rookie status has a special plus, then the veteran status plus not plus? If the rookie status has a special bonus, does the veteran status have a bonus? Does it add up for doing something off the field?
For that year, there was nothing wrong with the selection. And that year, Jordan's sixth-place finish in the MVP voting was already impressive.
First of all, there is no doubt that Mike Jordan is the god of basketball, but also the NBA to the end of the push can be said to represent the image of the league's superstar. Although he has retired, he still has a great influence in the basketball world and even the world. Jordan is to basketball what Pele and Maradona are to soccer.
As for why the master did not get the MVP, I personally think there are several reasons.
First, the Bulls' record that season was unsatisfactory, not even a 50% win rate. Although the individual data is very perfect, but the team's record is not good, Jordan tried his best to play into the playoffs is also in the first round of the loss, so this is a big impact, but also caused him not to get the MVP of the main reason.
Secondly, although the individual data is quite good, but that year there are several gods in the league, such as Magic, Big Bird and so on, that is their world. The MVP of the year was eventually picked up by Big Bird Bird (although he didn't win the championship).
Third, the league has not been the main push Jordan, after all, his rookie season to get the MVP as far as I know, but also claimed to have defeated 20,000 women Chamberlain the Great took, his rookie season that the peak of a lot of, like the recent Evans.
As far as I know, Jordan didn't start getting MVPs until '91, and continued to get them for a few years before finally going into baseball. It's just too hard to win an MVP in your rookie season, even for a basketball god, it's not even close. After all, a good man three help!
MVP is not the strongest individual ability or data brush the best people, is able to make the team better people, because basketball is a team sport, so the most valuable player is the biggest contribution to the team, the 80's is the NBA superstar eruption of the era, the competition is too fierce, to be honest, at the beginning of the Jordan only personal ability, but not to the level of the MVP
