Well that’s a very hard question. We can start from looking at the NBA’s MVP’s and then we’ll choose. Lets start from the beginning I would choose Bill Russel from winning the MVP award 4 times and a center. Wilt Chamberlain another great center winning the award 4 times as well. Next Kareem Abdul Jabbar with 6 awards I’d say he gets the best center award, eh? Then there’s Magic Johnson with 3, and Michael Jordan with 5. Finally there’s Larry Bird the best 3-pointer I know. So for the moment of truth… The best NBA player is KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR. With the most MVP awards and most points scored, 38,387.
