MVP vote: All the rankings of NBA legends

MVP is the most important individual accolade an NBA player can win, so we decided to put together a list of how legends did in MVP voting throughout their careers, ranking them by the number of seasons they received votes. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar owns …

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar owns the record for most MVPs for one player with six and it will be very hard to beat, but he’s not the leader in most seasons with MVP votes, which belongs to LeBron James with 19.

In case you’re wondering, Michael Jordan comes at No. 6 in this ranking, receiving votes in merely 13 seasons.

Check out the rest of these rankings below.

The 10 greatest players over 40 in NBA history

HoopsHype ranks the Top 10 player older than 40 years old in NBA history, including Karl Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and more.

With four-time league MVP LeBron James about to turn 40 years old, we thought it would be a fun time to rank the Top 10 players in NBA history who competed at age 40 or beyond.

James will likely top this list himself by the end of 2025-26 – if not sooner – but for now, this is how we rank the best players to play past the big 4-0.

Ranking: The players with the most All-Star votes in NBA history

Numbers are heavily tilted toward modern-era players. Regardless, check out the players with the most All-Star votes in NBA history.

All-Star fan voting is a fun aspect of the NBA’s process for selecting the yearly recipients of the honor, even if it does lead to wonky results at times.

We recently decided to add up all of the All-Star fan votes submitted in league history to rank the players who have received the most in their careers.

Of course, the numbers are heavily tilted toward modern-era players since way more votes are cast by fans now. Also note that the NBA only started disclosing votes for all players (and not just the top-vote getters) in 2017.

Regardless, we thought the results would be interesting, and we were right.

Below, check out the players with the most All-Star votes in NBA history.

Ranking: The players with the most games per season in NBA history

HoopsHype ranks the players who averaged the most games played per season in NBA history, playoffs included, to rank NBAs top iron men ever.

In this NBA era plagued by load management and resting during the regular season, it’s doubtful we’re going to see very many Iron Men. For instance, a player who played in 1,192 consecutive games appears on this list, and it’s hard to envision a modern player doing that.

Regardless, there is one active player – a star, at that – who finishes in the Top 10 of this ranking, who you’ll see just below.

Today, we added up games played between the regular season and playoffs to rank the players who appeared in the most games per season in NBA history.

NBA Cup: A proposal for a better tournament

HoopsHype breaks down how the NBA can make the NBA Cup a better tournament with multiple exciting and intriguing proposals.

Early returns on the NBA Cup, originally known as the In-Season Tournament, have been mixed. Some fans have seen it as a breath of fresh air while others see it as superfluous at best, and tedious at worst. The crazy court designs for NBA Cup games have likewise been divisive.

On our end, we commend the NBA for pushing the envelope and trying something new when they had no reason to do so besides to try and find another way to entertain basketball fans.

However…

We think there are things they could do differently to make the NBA Cup more interesting.

Below, we break down our proposal to make the NBA Cup a better, more exciting event.

How Grizzlies guard Jaylen Wells went from Division II to All-Rookie Team Candidate

Memphis Grizzlies rookie Jaylen Wells discussed his unlikely journey from Division II to the NBA, what he’s learned from Marcus Smart, how Ja Morant has been a leader behind the scenes, the challenge of guarding the opponent’s top perimeter scorer, chasing the All-Rookie Team, and more with HoopsHype Senior NBA Insider Michael Scotto.

Before becoming one of the best rookies in his class, Memphis Grizzlies guard Jaylen Wells bet on himself by attending Division II Sonoma State after two years as a varsity high school player with no Division I offers as doubters told him to consider a career change.

After becoming a Division II All-American, Wells transferred to Washington State, where his 3-and-D game caught the eyes of NBA talent evaluators.

Since being selected in the second round with the 39th overall pick by Memphis, Wells has become a starter on one of the NBA’s top teams and ranks second in plus-minus rating (plus-58) and third in points per game (11.5) among rookies this season.

Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson discussed what to expect from Portland’s young squad in the future, learning from Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups as his coach, replacing Damian Lillard, growing as a locker room leader while also having a signature PUMA sneaker at 20 years old, what to expect from his new Scoot Zero II sneakers, and more with HoopsHype Senior NBA Insider Michael Scotto.

Just as fans argue about who the GOAT of the NBA is, so do the league’s current or former players.

The debate is most often between LeBron James and Michael Jordan, though Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has some backers, too. Prior to the James era, the consensus pretty much was that Jordan was the NBA’s GOAT, but now there is very much a debate.

And this debate is not one that is going away anytime soon unless James pulls a Tom Brady and unequivocally ends the matter by winning another championship or two before retiring.

Either way, it’s a fun argument, with multiple players making a strong case.

Jordan has 47 endorsements from players since we began keeping track, compared to James’ 31 endorsements.

Below, check out all the players who have gone on record as saying Michael Jordan is the NBA’s greatest player of all time.

How Olympic stars are performing so far in 2024-25

HoopsHype examines how some of the NBA’s biggest starts are performing after taking part in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Although the Olympics are viewed as the top international tournament for basketball players and a huge honor to participate in, playing there is still a sacrifice that could have negative consequences, particularly for NBA players coming off of strenuous 82-game seasons plus long playoff runs.

Some of those players’ 2023-24 seasons ended in May or early June, giving them a short turnaround before the Olympic basketball tournament started in late July, ending in August. There were also pre-tournament exhibition games in which those players had to partake. Those same players then had to return to their NBA teams in late September for the start of training camp.

That’s a whole lot of basketball without much rest.

Let’s see how some of the game’s biggest stars are performing after such a tough year of nonstop basketball.
