<< 1984 1985 1986 >> -------------------- August 31, 2004 Larry Bird: 1985 NBA Most Valuable Player
Born: December 7, 1956. West Baden, Indiana, USA. College: Indiana State NBA start: Drafted 6th overall by Boston in 1978 NBA draft. Size: Height:6'9" - Weight:220lbs MVP stats: gp:80 - mpg:39.5 - ppg:28.7 - rpg:10.5 - apg:6.6 - fg%:52.2 - ft%:88.2 Team standing: Celtics 63-19, first in Atlantic division. Downed by the Lakers 4-2 in finals series. Comments: Though this was the year Jordan landed in the NBA, Larry and Magic were clearly the heavyweights. Their teams battled all-season long for the best record in the league. Boston edged L.A by one game. But this year turned out to be the Lakers turn at the title. -------------------- << 1984 1985 1986 >> Back to MVPs' list Back to NBA almanac |
