How difficult is it to give birth to two MVPs in one draft? Only 5 NBA has achieved it, and 03 Platinum generation is not a success

The NBA draft is divided into a draft year and a draft young year. In some draft years, it is difficult to get an MVP when all players retire, while in some draft years, there will be an MVP player. It is even more difficult to be able to give birth to two MVPs in the same draft. Looking at NBA history, it has only appeared five times. Let’s take a look at which draft they are!

2014 draft (Jokic, Embiid)

The two centers are the best in the 14 draft, namely Jokic with the 41st pick and Embiid with the third pick. Jokic won the first MVP trophy in his career in 21 years. In the following 22 years, Jokic once again became the MVP. Embiid beat Jokic in 23 years and became the MVP season MVP. However, in the next 24 years, Jokic won the MVP again. Jokic won the MVP three times in the past four seasons. He is also the best player in the active league.

However, the difference in team leadership between Jokic and Embiid is not a little bit. Although Jokic missed the MVP in 23 years, he led the Nuggets to win the first championship in team history. In contrast, Embiid has not even made the Eastern Conference Finals, and he has not played much in the past two seasons. He is also the only MVP in NBA history who has not played in the division finals.

2009 draft (Curry, Harden)

Curry was the best player in the 2009 draft. Although he was only selected in the seventh pick, he has since made a performance that surprised the whole league. In the 14-15 season, he led the Warriors to 67 wins and the first MVP in his career. Then in the 15-16 season, Curry led the Warriors to a record 73 wins and 9 losses. Curry scored 402 three-pointers in a single season, setting a new record in the NBA history. He also won the only unanimous MVP in NBA history without any suspense.

Then Harden led the Rockets to beat the Warriors in the 17-18 season to win the league's first record. Harden's average of 30.4 points and 8.8 assists per game also helped him win the MVP trophy. The 2009 draft was also a well-deserved draft year.

2008 draft (Ross, Westbrook)

The best players in the 2008 NBA draft are undoubtedly Ross and Westbrook. They are also known as "Red and Blue Supercars". In the third season of Ross' career in 2011, he led the Bulls to a record of first place in the league. Ross' average of 25 points and 7.7 assists also helped him become the youngest MVP in NBA history. Unfortunately, Ross failed to return to the peak due to injury, and he also became the hearts of many fans.

Westbrook won the MVP in the 16-17 season. That year, he scored a triple-double average of 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game. At that time, the triple-double average was not as ordinary as it is now. At that time, the average triple-double average was enough to surprise people, so Westbrook won the MVP trophy.

The 1996 draft (Iverson, Nash, Kobe)

The 1996 draft directly gave birth to three MVP players, the first one was Iverson. He scored the first place in the Eastern Conference in the 200-01 season, with an average of 31.1 points per game. That year he also led the 76ers to the finals and won a victory from the peak OK combination. It can be said that that year was Iverson's peak period. Immediately after returning to the Suns, Nash directly led the team to become the league's number one, and he also won the MVP trophy twice in 2005 and 2006.

Kobe won the MVP award at the end. In the 2007-08 season, Kobe averaged 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. He finally won the MVP trophy. The 1996 draft is also one of the most valuable drafts in the NBA.

The 1984 draft (Jordan, Barkley, Olajuwon)

The value of the 1984 draft is not to mention. Jordan alone won five MVPs, of which he won the DPOY award in the 1987-88 season. He was the first player in NBA history to win two major honors of MVP and DPOY in a single season. Since then, Jordan won four MVPs in the 1990s, and there is no problem calling him the best player in NBA history.

Barkley won the MVP in the 92-93 season. That year, he averaged 25.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists per game, and beat Jordan to win the MVP trophy. However, it was a pity that he still lost to Jordan in the finals. Olajuwon won the MVP in the 93-94 season. That year, Olajuwon played the most representative season of his career, averaging 27.3 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game, and also helped him win two major awards: MVP and DPOY. He was the first player since Jordan to achieve this. The best player in the NBA draft in 1984 was Jordan, and then Olajuwon. Overall, the value of this draft is indeed very high.
