LeBron James won the MVP award.

So this was his second season in Miami.

He received $120,000.

of the 121 first place votes.

If you remember at that time, Carmelo Anthony, who finished third in voting, got one first place vote.

gary washburn of the boston globe who who thought that uh you know he actually came out he admitted it was him because i don't even know if we had the voting at that time like who voted for who but he wrote an article about why he picked carmelo and his basic argument was that carmelo was more important than lebron was to this super team in miami you know that that was that was the talk at the time uh but a very good class because you had lebron

Then you had KD in OKC.

This was one year before he would win the MVP.

Lowe in New York, that awesome season they had.

And then Chris Paul, one of his better seasons with the Clippers.

And of course, Chris Paul's an advanced stats demon, so he's going to show up well in all of these.

Number two is this year's class.

with SGA, Okich, Wemby, and Luka.

Number two overall.

So I would say pretty good, pretty good.

And then number one MVP class by this method is the 1990-91 season.

So this was

Michael Jordan's second MVP.

He would go on to win his first championship this season.

Magic Johnson, number two, David Robinson, number three, and then Charles Barkley fourth.
