Funny Picutre of Shaq and his new nickname "Big Cactus"
 
Teams that have two players on them that both have won the MVP award.  
 
I just came across a crazy stat i would like to share with everyone. There
have only been 12 teams to have 2 MVP Players on the same team.
Interesting, I couldnt think of one team that had 2. Then I realized I
never even thought about it when Shaq was traded to Phoenix that with
the Combo of Shaq and Steve Nash they would have 2 MVP players.
   

 

 

Here is the list 


MVP teammates Team Years Won title?
    Bob Cousy, Bill Russell Boston Celtics 1958-59 to 1962-63 Yes
    Bob Cousy, Oscar Robertson Cincinnati Royals 1969-70 No
    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson Milwaukee Bucks 71-74 Yes
    Dave Cowens, Bob McAdoo L.A. Lakers 1978-79 No
    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bob McAdoo L.A. Lakers 1981-85 Yes
    Julius Erving, Moses Malone Philadelphia 76ers 1982-86 Yes
    Larry Bird, Bill Walton Boston Celtics 1985-86 to 1986-87 Yes
    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson L.A. Lakers 1987-89 Yes
    Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon Houston Rockets 1996-2000 No
    Tim Duncan, David Robinson San Antonio Spurs 2002-2003 Yes
    Karl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal L.A. Lakers 2003-04 No
    Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Nash Phoenix 2007-08

Shaq was on two of the teams with Karl Malone and Steve Nash

Interesting list. Does anyone know if there have ever been 3 on the same team,i dont think so. If Kobe wins the MVP this year that team would of had 3 MVPS on it, and they still didnt win the finals. Anyways wanted to share the interesting facts.
