NBA
The 8 Best MVP Seasons in NBA History
Which players have really been the most valuable in earning the hardware?

4. Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls (1990-91)

This is the GOAT's third appearance on this list, but the 1990 season represented Jordan's second MVP campaign. In it, he generated 20.3 win shares on a career-best .321 win shares per 48 minutes of play.

On a nightly basis, MJ poured in 31.5 points per game on 22.4 shot attempts with a true shooting percentage of 60.5%. Further, his 31.6 PER and 10.6 BPM led the entire NBA that year.

In the team's sixth year with Jordan and second under head coach Phil Jackson, the Bulls won their first title in franchise history. With averages of 31.2 points, 11.4 assists and 6.6 rebounds, Jordan was named Finals MVP.

So, in case you weren't sure if it was foolish to think MJ didn't earn each and every one of those MVPs, you should be now. Nevertheless, none of his five MVP seasons make the lofty heights of the top three.
