For NBA stars, there are many standards to measure. Some people will judge heroes by scores, while others will use the number of championships as a reference indicator of historical status. But in the eyes of most authoritative media, regular season MVP and finals MVP are the best choices to measure a star's personal performance. Because the conditions for these two honors are too harsh, if they can get these two honors, they will basically become top stars. If they can win these two awards multiple times throughout their careers, they will definitely become the top stars in history.

Let’s talk about MVP first. MVP is the symbol of the best player in each season. In addition to referring to the individual performance of the players, the overall record of the team also needs to be considered. So even if many players score well, they cannot win the MVP that season because of the team's poor record. In fact, the MVP candidates each season are also the benchmark for the league's top stars, but whoever can win the MVP in the regular season must be the most popular star that season. These stars can basically make a lot of money.

Secondly, let’s talk about FMVP. Compared with regular season MVP, FMVP is much more difficult and valuable. To win FMVP, you must not only perform well in the playoffs and finals, but also win the championship this season. Adding these two data together, the value of FMVP increases a lot.

For those top stars in history, Bill Russell, who won the most championships, won 11 championships throughout his career and was the absolute ruler of the league at the time. However, because there was no FMVP award in the league at the time, and he was unable to win a FMVP throughout his career, the league named the Finals MVP the Bill Russell Cup to make up for this regret.

Secondly, for the MVP trophy, winning this honor is not easy. In history, the famous Lakers' Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has won the most MVPs. With his unique hook, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only played 5 times in his entire career, while Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won MVP 6 times and FMVP 2 times in his career. Even Michael Jordan failed to achieve such an achievement, so why do people regard Jordan as the number one star in league history?

The reason is that Jordan's personal performance was really bad. He has reached the finals six times, won six championships, won FMVP six times and MVP five times. In fact, Jordan is very likely to win the MVP six times. However, due to his aesthetic fatigue in the league, Jordan missed the sixth MVP, but in all fairness, judging from his performance, it is definitely the best performance in history!
