NBA MVP List by Year Award Winners (NBA Most Valuable Player)

Get the online NBA MVP List, featuring recipients of the National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player Award. Instituted since the 1955–56 season, the NBA MVP is an annual accolade presented to the player with the most outstanding performance during the regular season. Beginning with the 2022–23 season, winners are honored with the Michael Jordan Trophy, named after the five-time MVP widely regarded as one of the greatest players in NBA history.

Before 2021, awardees received the Maurice Podoloff Trophy, named in tribute to the NBA's first commissioner (then president) Maurice Podoloff, who served from 1946 to 1963. The switch to the Michael Jordan Trophy led to the creation of a new Maurice Podoloff Trophy, presented to the team with the best regular season record. Up until the 1979–80 season, NBA players determined the MVP through a vote. Since the 1980–81 season, a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters from the United States and Canada has been responsible for selecting the awardee.

Remarkably, every player who has won the NBA MVP and has been eligible for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame has been inducted. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holds the record for the most MVP wins with six. Bill Russell and Michael Jordan both secured the award five times, while Wilt Chamberlain and LeBron James each earned the prestigious title four times.
