Not being able to read once was bad enough. Replying to my shyt THREE TIMES and reading it wrong all three times is wild.
This is what I actually said - it had nothing to do with Magic's MVP year in 1987.
See where you went wrong?
1982:
Magic: 18-9-9-2-0 on 53% shooting
Kareem: 24-9-3-1-3 on 58% shooting
Kareem scored way more points than Magic on better shooting, had way more blocks and was a much better defender, yet Magic finished ahead of him in the MVP race 8th place to 10th. (Magic actually had a fraction of a rebound more than KAJ, I missed on that part but pretty damn sure that was irrelevant to the voters.)
1983:
Magic: 17-8-10-2-0 on 55% shooting
Kareem: 22-7-2-1-2 on 59% shooting
Same thing, way more points with more blocks and better defense, but Magic finished 3rd in MVP voting and Kareem 10th.
1984:
Magic: 17-7-13-2-1 on 56% shooting
Kareem: 21-7-3-1-2 on 58% shooting
Third straight year that Kareem had far more points on better %'s with better defense than Magic, yet Magic finished #3 in MVP voting while Kareem finished #4.
1985:
Magic: 18-6-12-1-0 on 56% shooting
Kareem: 22-8-3-1-2 on 60% shooting
Fourth straight year, Kareem has better scoring and better defense and Magic STILL finishes ahead at #2 in the MVP voting with Kareem #4.
1986:
Magic: 19-6-12-1-0 on 52% shooting
Kareem: 23-6-3-1-1 on 56% shooting
By this point Kareem's defense was seriously declining but he was STILL more important on that end than Magic was, he STILL is averaging significantly more points than Magic....and yet Magic was 3rd in MVP voting and Kareem was 5th.
That was
5 straight years where Kareem averaged 4-6 points more than Magic on better shooting %'s with much better defense and still finished behind him in the MVP race. And y'all think there's some sort of unwritten rule that says that AD has to be higher in the MVP rankings than LeBron because he has 1ppg, 1rpg, and 0.3spg more than him.
