As we all know, Jordan is the god of basketball, the most accomplished player in NBA history, and completely dominated the NBA in the 1990s. He led the Bulls to achieve two three consecutive championships, winning 6 FMVP trophys, which is an unparalleled existence. In the 6-year peak, he won 6 championships + 6 FMVPs, and his resume was unparalleled. However, as strong as Jordan, he has only won 4 MVP trophys in the past 6 years. Do you know who he lost to in two years? After entering the 1990s, Jordan entered his heyday and started his first three consecutive championships. In 1991, he averaged 31.5 points, 6 rebounds, 5.5 assists per game, and eventually led the team to win the championship. He also achieved the Grand Slam achievement of scoring + MVP + championship + FMVP + best team + best defense. In 1991, he scored another gorgeous data of 30.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, and once again won all the above honors.

However, in 1993, although Jordan led the team to three consecutive championships and achieved the feat of FMVP for three consecutive years, he only ranked third in the MVP selection. The Bulls' record of 57 wins and 25 losses was not top, while the Rockets in the Western Conference lost 55 wins and 27 losses. Olajuwon ranked second in the MVP with his performance in offense and defense. The Suns won 62 wins and 20 losses, and eventually averaged 25.6 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, Barkley successfully won the MVP, which is well deserved.

After a willful retirement, Jordan made a comeback in 1995. From the 1995-96 season to the end of 1997-98 season, Jordan led the Bulls to achieve a three-game winning streak. Jordan has also been the league's scoring champion in these three seasons and has won three FMVP trophys. Among them, Jordan won the MVP trophy in 1996 and 1998, but the trophy was lost in 1997. In 97, Jordan averaged 29.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. The Bulls were still very dominant that year, and finally scored a record of 69 wins and 13 losses, ranking first in the league. However, Jordan was only ranked second in MVP in the end, losing to Malone, who was at his peak. Malone averaged 27.4 points, 9.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. He also led the Jazz to a record of 64 wins and 18 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference. Judging from the data, Jordan and Malone are in a match, but Jordan has to win a few more games.

The MVP votes were also very close that year. Malone won 63 first votes, and Jordan won 52 first votes. The reason why Jordan lost the election was aesthetic fatigue. Because Jordan led the Bulls to a record of 72 wins and 10 losses in 1996, he even "regressed". Coupled with Malone's rise, he lost to Malone in the MVP battle.
