1962 Had The Most Stacked MVP Race Ever

The 1961–62 MVP race was unlike anything we’ve ever seen: Bill Russell (Winner): 18.9 PPG, 23.6 RPG — the anchor of a dynasty, leading Boston to the league’s best record. Wilt Chamberlain (2nd): Averaged 50.4 PPG and 25.7 RPG… yes, 50 a night. Played 48.5 minutes per game. Oscar Robertson (3rd): Averaged a triple-double for the entire season (30.8 PPG, 12.5 RPG, 11.4 APG). Elgin Baylor (4th): Dropped 38.3 PPG and 18.6 RPG while only playing 48 games due to military service. All in the same season. One of the most legendary MVP battles in NBA history. Do you think Russell deserved the award, or should Wilt or Oscar have taken it? #NBAHistory #MVP #WiltChamberlain #BillRussell #OscarRobertson #ElginBaylor #GOATDebate #NBADebate #MyNBAGOAT #Sports #NBA

Carmelo Says Denver Gave Jokic His #15 to “Erase His Legacy” — Here’s Why Jokić Disagrees

On the “7 PM in Brooklyn” podcast, Carmelo Anthony didn’t hold back: he called the Nuggets giving Nikola Jokić jersey No. 15 a “petty maneuver,” designed to “erase what I did there.” But Jokić sees it differently. Speaking with reporters, he explained that he’s been wearing #15 his whole life—long before he reached the NBA. When asked if he knew Melo wore it previously in Denver, he respectfully replied, “Of course, he was a great player.” And there’s even more context: Jokić once revealed that as a kid, he was on the heavier side, and the #15 jersey was simply the largest one available. So he stuck with it. #NBA #Melo #NikolaJokic #Nuggets #NBADebate #JerseyNumbers #Sports
