In the over 60 years of NBA MVP history, the award has been given to a non-American player only five times: twice to Steve Nash (Canada), once to Dirk Nowitzki (Germany), twice to Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece), and twice to Nikola Jokic (Serbia), the third European player ever to win the NBA Most Valuable Player title. On the other hand, analyzing in which teams the MVP awards have been won, the two most titled teams of all time are Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, who throughout their history have created legendary cycles relying on players such as Bill Russel and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. LeBron James has won the award four times, while players such as Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Tim Duncan have each won the award three times. Michael Jordan and Bill Russell are tied for the second-most MVP awards, with each player having won the award five times. He is a five-time NBA champion, a two-time NBA MVP, a three-time NBA Finals MVP, a 15-time NBA All-Star, and the only player to be selected to both the All-NBA.
