One of\u00a0Michael Jordan\u2019s most astonishing feats in the NBA was winning the Most Valuable Player of the Year award five times in his career. MJ\u2019s greatness was one of the biggest reasons the trophy for the said award now bears his name. As impressive as this accomplishment was, many have been fiercely arguing for Jordan that he deserved more than his official tally.<\/p>\n

\"Should've<\/p>\n

\u201cHis Airness\u201d earned the award during the 1988, 1991, 1992, 1996 and 1998 seasons. He was into his fourth year in the NBA when he won it for the first time. The award even had more meaning, as he was also named the Defensive Player of the Year. He was the first in league history to earn that \u201cdouble\u201d in the same season.<\/p>\n

In 1987, 1989 and 1997, the iconic Chicago Bulls guard placed second in the MVP race. He was ranked third in the same major category in 1990 and 1993. Michael Jordan had a strong case of bringing home the bacon in each of those years it went to another player.<\/p>\n

No. 5 1990 to Magic Johnson<\/h3>\n

1990 will be remembered as the\u00a0Detroit Pistons\u2019 second of back-to-back championships in the \u201cBad Boys\u201d era. When it comes to individual accolades, Magic Johnson won the MVP with Charles Barkley finishing second, while Michael Jordan came in third place.<\/p>\n

\u201cJunior\u2019s\u201d Lakers won the West with a 63-19 record, helping the legendary Showtime point guard to his third and final MVP. Barkley\u2019s Philadelphia 76ers were second in the East to the Pistons while Jordan\u2019s Bulls ended up third in the same conference.<\/p>\n

No. 4 1993 to Charles Barkley<\/h3>\n

After a handful of close shaves in the MVP race, Charles Barkley finally bagged the award in 1993 in his first year with the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n

\u201cSir Charles\u201d re-invigorated his new team, which finished the regular season with a 62-20 mark, the best in the NBA. Michael Jordan\u2019s Bulls ended second in the East behind Patrick Ewing\u2019s\u00a0New York Knicks.<\/p>\n

\u201cChuck\u201d won his only MVP that season followed by Houston Rockets big man Hakeem Olajuwon and then Jordan. All three were part of the 1984 NBA Draft class that took the league by storm.<\/p>\n

No. 3 1987 to Magic Johnson<\/h3>\n

Michael Jordan\u2019s first real brush with the MVP award came during the 1986-87 season. Johnson\u2019s Lakers tore through the league to finish with just 17 losses out of 82 games for the season.<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s Bulls came in eight in the Eastern Conference and were swept in three games by Larry Bird\u2019s\u00a0Boston Celtics\u00a0in the first round. Johnson, Jordan and Bird were the top three in a race that went to the \u201cMagic Man.\u201d<\/p>\n

No. 2 1989 to Magic Johnson<\/h3>\n

Michael Jordan was the reigning MVP leading into the 1988-89 season.\u00a0Magic Johnson\u00a0went out to reclaim the award and did as he set out to do. LA was again the top dog in the West with a 57-25 win-loss mark. Jordan\u2019s Bulls, now making some noise in the East, finished sixth.<\/p>\n

Johnson and Jordan reversed the 1988 result the following year while Karl Malone joined the picture and finished third.<\/p>\n

No. 1 1997 to Karl Malone<\/h3>\n

\u201cHis Airness\u201d was the MVP leading into the 1996-97 season and led the Chicago Bulls to a 69-13 mark, a year after finishing 72-10. Karl Malone\u2019s Utah Jazz topped the West with a 64-18 card, making MJ the favorite to repeat. But, in a result that stunned many, \u201cThe Mailman\u201d pipped Jordan for the award.<\/p>\n

In his acceptance speech, Malone thanked Michael Jordan for letting him \u201cborrow it for one year.\u201d The race was so one-sided between the two that Grant Hill, the third-placer, didn\u2019t receive one single first vote.<\/p>\n
