MVP does not equate to a players level of greatness. I believe Hakeem has only 1 MVP. Nash won 2 & he's far from the greatest PG I've seen. The fact that Nash has 2 MVP's is a testament to how overrated the award is. How many MVP's did Ewing, Miller, Drexler, Payton, Thomas, etc. win?
Shawn Bradley never played up to his potential. Going off to mission after his freshman year at BYU hurt him tremendously. In addition to being bullied at Nike Camp by Eric Montross, and Luther Wright in the McDonald's Game.
Willis Reed never won more than 1 MVP, and he was one of the greatest. Guys like Oakley, O'Neal, and even Ron Artest would be scared to man up with him in the post.
