How to unit-test a presenter in a MVP?

Why has Shaq only won 1 MVP in his NBA career?

  • Think about it. Shaq is without a doubt the most dominant player of All-Time, and he has only won 1 MVP in his 16+ year NBA career. Just look at the numbers this man has put up. I'll only mention his best season stats for this question. 93 he averaged 29ppg, 14rpg, 2apg, 3bpg- Didn't win the MVP 94 he averaged 29ppg, 11rpg, 2apg, 2bpg- Didn't win the MVP 97 he averaged 28ppg, 11rpg, 2apg, 2bpg- Didn't win the MVP 2001he averaged 29ppg, 13rpg, 2apg, 3bpg- Didn't win the MVP Clearly he put up amazing numbers in his career, more amazing than Duncan MVP years and he won 2 freaking MVP's in a row with less stats. Shaq has almost always been on winning teams to, so you can't blame that on him not getting more MVP's. I don't get how Shaq has only won one regular season MVP and not even a defensive player of the year award with those blocks and rebounds he had early in his career.

  • Answer:

    He suffers from "Wilt Chamberlain syndrome". Wilt once said "Nobody roots for Goliath", and it's the truth. Shaq is SO big, SO strong, SO quick for his size, SO dominant physically.. people just expect extraordinary results from him. Numbers which would earn a player who is less physically gifted a unanimous MVP just earn a yawn when Shaq puts them up.

First off, is anyone else not able to edit their answers????? And second, I agree with you. He is the most dominant player of all time. If Shaq played in the 60ies he would have murdered everyone. But MVP is kinda confusing... t goes to the most VALUABLE player in a team. You might be a better player but when you have Kobe on your side you might not be as valuable.

It has to do a lot with the regular season record like in 93, Barkley was the MVP because he led the Suns to the league's best record (62 wins I think) while Shaq's magic didn't make the playoffs.

I JUST ANSWERED THIS QUESTION WITH MY ALTERNATE ACCOUNT BLACK JUSTIN BIEBER BITCHES AND I JUST WANTED YOU GUYS TO KNOW THAT I REALLY WANT TO HAVE BUTT SEX WITH JUSTIN BEIBER. I ALSO HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER AND HAVE A TENDENCY TO DENY THE FACT THAT THIS IS MY ALTERNATE ACCOUNT PLEASE EXCUSE THIS MY MOMMY AND DADDY CANT AFFORD TO GET ME TREATMENT FOR MY BIPOLAR DISORDER. CHEERS AND BY THE WAY YOU ALWAYS OWN ME THE GREATEST KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Because Barkley in 93 had 24 ppg 11 rpg 4 asp 1 spg on 52% Because Hakeem in 94 had 27 ppg 11 rpg 3 apg 3 bpg on 52% Karl Malone did not desearve it that year I like how you skipped all the years with Jordan winning

Shaquille O'neal, like Kobe Bryant was robbed of a couple MVP awards.

Idk, people are crazy. Those are monstrous numbers tho. Not to mention he scored that much with a really good fg%. And his presence in the key that doesn;t show on stats I don;t listen to the MVP award, I decide for myself who i think the best is, cause they get it wrong a lot.

well shaq was around when hakeem olajion was around and barkley basically great players to win mvps so it was really hard to win mvp in that era.

because he's not as good as Steve Nash. Only great great players have won 2 or more MVP awards..... Duncan, Nash, etc. And how exactly did you own me..?
