Foreign players have won MVP for 7 consecutive years. Do you still remember the first foreign MVP? It has a lot of gold content

With Alexander defeating Jokic and winning this year's MVP, it also announced that foreign players have received MVPs for seven consecutive years, namely Antetokounmpo (Greece) twice, Jokic (Serbia) three times, Embiid (Cameroon) once and Alexander (Canada). A basketball media person also made a picture, which can be clearly seen that the first 64 MVPs in history were captured by Americans 59 of them, but there were no Americans in the past seven years.

Although the MVP of non-US players in this picture has been very impressive for seven consecutive years, it also proves that world basketball is improving and American basketball is not so dominant. But what I want to say is that the more eye-catching thing about this picture is that it directly adds Olajuwon, who has won the first foreign MVP player, to a full extent. He was the first foreign MVP in NBA history, and it took him a full 10 years to have a second foreign MVP. He was Nash, which was enough to show how outstanding Olajuwon's performance in the season was to conquer the selection.

In 1994, Olajuwon captured Jordan's first full season after retirement, the entire league's combat power was reshaping, and he led the Rockets to a league-third record of 58 wins and 24 losses (second in the West). Dameng Olajuwon's own data is also very outstanding. He averages 27.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.6 steals, and 3.7 blocks (second in the league), with a shooting percentage of 52.8%, and is very skilled. His comprehensive data is not inferior even in the NBA, which is currently averaging 120+ points per game, and he also has the opportunity to compete for MVP.

However, even if such fantastic data were produced back then, Dameng's final result was actually a little more than David Robinson's (Dmeng: 33.85, Admiral: 27.8%). Robinson's data was also very top-notch at the time. As an inside player, he averaged 29.8 points per game, ranked first in the league in scoring (suspected to score 71 points in the last game). He also had 10.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.3 blocks. In fact, the general's comprehensiveness is not inferior to Dameng.

Da Meng eventually won a better team record (the Rockets had 3 more wins than the Spurs), with a better record. Moreover, during the regular season, Da Meng burst into dominant performances and stronger personal defense abilities in the fourth quarter. It can be said that the record and individual beat Robinson in terms of the importance of the team.

If you want to see how valuable the big dream was and how difficult it was to get the first foreign MVP, then you can see his honors that season. Dameng won the regular season MVP, best defensive player (DPOY), best team team, best defensive team, championship and finals MVP with his all-round performance. He is also the only single-season Grand Slam player in history. Such a value can only be described as horror.
