While MVP awards are individual achievements, some teams have cultivated more greatness than others. In the NBA, no team wins this coveted award better than the Boston Celtics, who have earned a record 10 MVP awards throughout their team history. In 2025, Oklahoma City Thunder's Shay Gilgios-Alexander won the league's highest honor, becoming the team's third MVP, second only to Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

Finally found that a list without James was too difficult! The 4MVP big shots

However, the Lakers and the Celtics are indeed well-deserved 18- and 17-win teams! The funniest thing is that Jokic, the Nuggets, actually got the MVP, and one person and three are the total number of MVPs in history
