<< 1999 2000 2001 >> -------------------- August 31, 2004 Shaquille O'neal: 2000 NBA Most Valuable Player
Born: March 6, 1972. Newark, New Jersey, USA. College: Louisiana State NBA start: Drafted first overall by Orlando in 1992 draft. Size: Height:7'1" - Weight:300lbs MVP stats: gp:79 - mpg:40.0 - ppg:29.7 - rpg:13.6 - apg:3.8 - fg%:57.4 - ft%:52.4 Team standing: Lakers 67-15, first in Pacific division. Bested Indiana 4-2 in NBA finals. Comments: Shaquille O'neal's lone season MVP award. The NBA crown followed at the end of the season. You had never seen him so dominating. He missed being the first unanimous MVP choice by a single vote. But no one could skim him on the other accolades he would earn. He was also the scoring champion, All-Star game MVP (with Tim Duncan), the NBA finals MVP, the field goal percentage leader and a First team All-NBA selection. -------------------- << 1999 2000 2001 >> Back to MVPs' list Back to NBA almanac |
