Nah, it's because the Real MVP's from '05-'06 on, played for a different team.

That just makes it obvoius how important luck, and timing factors into winning a championship.

Co-sign..

 

[noneofyours25]

In the 6 yrs how many of the MVP runner ups won the championship?

 

[blazers21ntnp]

I thought it was common knowledge regular season MVP winners rarely end up winning the title.

In the past 20 seasons (dating back to the '89-'90 season), it has only been done 7 times by 4 different players.

Michael Jordan ('91, '92, '96, '9
Hakeem Olajuwon ('94)
Shaquille O'Neal ('00)
Tim Duncan ('03)

So unless your name is Michael Jordan, when you're given the MVP, don't set your sights on that championship just yet.

Not really...imo the MVP was kinda like best player on the best team...hence Nash & Dirk winning those MVP's...
