	I don't think Rick Barry ever won the MVP.

	Barry never won an MVP award. Not even in the ABA. http://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/mvp.html

	I think Archibald, Cowens and Bird all played together for at least one season.

	Archibald never won a MVP

	96-97 for Barkley, Olajuwon

	its stupid that you need to put the exact person in the exact place

	cardiaccats:	Nov 20th, 2011 at 21:56 GMT	1 point
	dont make it one person for each place for each team. i dont think you should count it if the player won a mvp in the future. bryant won his mvp after teaming with O'Neal is an example of one that i dont think should be counted.

	Thanks for the QA - true Barry never won an MVP. Probably because back then the MVP was decided by player vote - and Barry was generally considered a d_ck.

	Obviously players need to be guessed in order to avoid just naming the 20 or so MVPs and watch the names pop up for 2 minutes. @simplyscottif: I do not know how to disable this for single groups of answers.

	@cardiaccats: I agree that counting not-yet MVPs doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I wanted to squeeze that sixers team in there with 4 MVPs. And get more answers - it's a short list otherwise.

	That does not justify counting Rick Barry, though. That was a collosal brainfart and therefore I am thoroughly ashamed.

	Why do we have to write specific names in the blanks? I tried typing Garnett on the top of the Celtics one and it made me think I was wrong when in reality, I was REQUIRED to put his name in the second blank to get it right. If it's going to be set up that way, at least put them in alphabetical order.

	Players are listed by year they won the MVP in (see instructions). I like it like that so a bit of basketball (trivia) knowledge is required rather than ABC.
