The Eastern Conference dominance was maintained by a Georgetown graduate during the 2000-01 season. Allen Iverson secured the MVP title for Philadelphia, marking the first time the award was given to a 76ers player since Moses Malone’s victory, who previously claimed his third MVP title with the same team.
There are four individuals who have been recognized as the Most Valuable Player while playing for multiple different teams: Moses Malone (76ers, Rockets), Julius “Dr. J” Erving (ABA NY Nets, 76ers), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Bucks, Lakers) and Wilt Chamberlain (Warriors, 76ers).
In the 2000-01 season, Tim Duncan was on the cusp of obtaining his initial MVP award, a recognition that would materialize the following year.
