    Every Laker MVP in Lakers history has won the MVP when the team was a 1 seed EXCEPT the last year a player won an MVP on a losing team in 1976. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

    The Lakers could field an all time top 5 team in the NBA and there have only been 4 players who have won an MVP for the Lakers. 8 total. 6 of those were Kareem and Magic. Pretty sad. East Coast voters and those pigs in the Ohio area have cost Laker plays several MVPs.

    yeah, i do think him being foreign is an issue (though clearly not the deciding issue, as voters love jokic), but the disrespect is like, 70% lakers bias. the other part, as i mentioned before, is just that he's a demonstrative player who really rips fans' hearts out, and writers and voters are fans, largely of "not the lakers".

    Players voted for MVP then, until 1980 which was the last time Cap won. Cap would have won more if it was players who voted, MVP candidate probably until 83
