What is the lowest that you could reasonable place Michael Jordan all-time?
For me he cannot go lower than 3, Russell and LeBron have (weak but still valid) arguments to be over him and I would still respect your list if you had him there.

Dad took pictures of Jordan - found them 35+ years later in a shoebox.
Dad lived in Seattle in the 80’s but passed away of leukemia in 1991 when I was 8.
About 3-4 years ago found these when I was going through some old boxes.

[BREAKING] The NBA will NOT discipline Bub Carrington or the Washington Wizards for tanking comments
Per source, the NBA will not discipline Wizards guard Bub Carrington (or the team) for his comments about tanking.
During Washington's media day, Carrington casually dropped what might be the most honest quote in NBA history:
"We just haven't been told yet to go be the best version of yourself. We've been held back. We were trying to get AJ Dybantsa. That's no secret. Now, no one has handcuffs."

Historical FMVP voting
Bill Simmons' erroneous claim that only five people voted on FMVP led me down a rabbit hole: how many people did vote each year? We know it's 11 now and has been since at least 2015, after which all votes have been made public as follows:
2026 Brunson 11-0
2025 SGA 11-0
2024 Brown 7, Tatum 4
2023 Jokic 11-0
2022 Curry 11-0
2021 Giannis 11-0
2020 LeBron 11-0
2019 Kawhi 10, FVV 1
2018 KD 7, Curry 4
2017 KD 11-0
2016 LeBron 11-0
2015 Iguodala 7, LeBron 4
But what about before that? Previously I'd found very little information. Now, thanks to the good folks at NBAstats.net, here's full-ish data back to 1978:
2014 Kawhi 10, ??? 1
2013 Lebron 11-0
2012 LeBron 9-0
2011 Dirk 9-0
2010 Kobe 7, Gasol 2
2009 Kobe 9-0
2008 Pierce 9-0
2007 Parker 9, Duncan 1
2006 Wade (unanimous)
2005 Duncan 6, Manu 4
2004 Billups (unanimous)
2003 Duncan (unanimous)

2001 Shaq (unanimous)
2000 Shaq (unanimous)
1999 Duncan (unanimous)
1998 MJ 11-0

1991 MJ 11-0
1990 Isiah 11-0
1989 Dumars 11-0
1988 Worthy 7, Magic 4
1987 Magic (unanimous)
1986 Bird 9, McHale 2
1985 Kareem 13-0
1984 Bird 11-0
1983 Moses (unanimous)
1982 Magic 5, McAdoo 3, Nixon 1
1981 Maxwell 6, Bird 1
1980 Magic 4, Kareem 3
1979 DJ 4, Sikma 3
1978 Unseld 3, Hayes 2
