The 2022naismith Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame award ceremony ended recently, among which the 2004 FMVP Changxi-Billups ran with him again. This makes people sigh that it seems that the championship + FMVP Award alone is not enough to open the door of the Hall of Fame.
Next, let Lao Zhen take stock of all the bar friends. Who are the FMVs that have not yet been selected into the Hall of Fame!
Cedric-Maxwell (1981fmvp)
In Maxwell’s 14-season career, he won no other honors except two championships and the FMVP in 1981.
He had never scored 20 points in a season in his career. In the finals of 1981, he averaged 17.7 points 9.5 rebounds 2.8 assists 1.0 cap, which was not stronger than Bode who scored 15.3 points 15.3 rebounds 7.0 assists 2.3 steals, however, compared with himself, Byrd’s performance can only be said to be abnormal, so the FMVP award was abandoned.
A FMVP with a little insufficient gold content and two champions in a strong team are doomed to be unable to be associated with the Hall of Fame.
Changxi-Billups (2004 FMVP)
Billups has not been selected into the Hall of Fame so far that Lao Zhen is very puzzled. His honor is absolutely enough: 2004 Championship & FMVP,5-time All-Star, 3-time best team, 2-time best defensive team.
In terms of honor alone, Billups is definitely not inferior to Tim Hardaway (5th All-Star, 5th best lineup) who was selected into the Hall of Fame this year.
Billups, who retired in 2014, began to accompany him since 2019 even according to the rule that he was qualified to enter the nomination after five years of retirement, what do bar friends think is the reason why Billups has not been selected into the Hall of Fame so far?
Dwain Wade (2006 FMVP); Tony Parker (2007 FMVP); Dirk Nowitzki (2011 FMVP)
These three have not been selected into the Hall of Fame just because the retirement period has not reached the standard, there will be no accident next year, and all of them will be selected properly. Lao Zhen will not repeat it here.
Andre igodala (FMVP, 2015)
Compared with Maxwell, who has only two honors of FMVP and championship, igodala is still better. So far, he has at least one All-Star, two personal honors for the best defensive team, and the number of championships (four) is more.
Bar friends think, or will the retired igodala be selected into the Hall of Fame in the future only by these unqualified personal honors and a FMVP?
Other active players who have been elected to FMVP: James, Leonard, Durant, adtokunbo and curry. These players are all superstars among active players. It should be only a matter of time before they are selected into the Hall of Fame in the future. Lao Zhen will not repeat it here.
It is not difficult for us to see that the probability of FMVP being selected into the Hall of Fame is still extremely high. After all, it is not easy to become the most valuable player in the highest hall of basketball in the NBA finals.
