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 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 20.
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.
