The Celtics reined over the NBA in 1981, but that didn't quite translate to winning the MVP for Bird. Does Kareem still have it? Do Malone and Gervin manage win the award off offensive talent? Was Julius Erving a justified pick not winning the championship.
Julius Erving
Larry Bird
Kareem Abdul Jabbar
