Usually, the best player of the next season is judged by MVP and FMVP, but Magic Johnson has become one of the big and big kings of a single season when he missed two major MVPs in one season. This season is also his fifth championship season in his career. This issue will trace back many years ago to the NBA to learn about it.

The 1986-87 season is the absolute peak season for the Magic. In this season, he won MVP, FMVP and championships, becoming the fourth player in history to win the Grand Slam in a single season. The Magician averaged data in the 1987-88 season showed a certain decline. At the same time, his old opponent Larry Bird scored the highest average score in his career this season. The future basketball god Michael Jordan also began to explode. Although the Lakers' record is ranked first in the league, the Magician's personal data is much worse than his favorite players last season with other MVPs.

In the end, Jordan won the MVP with his average 35 points per game. Although the Bulls' absolute record is poor, Jordan won the MVP with his 31.97% vote rate without much suspense. At the same time, the scoring champion was also won by Jordan. The Magician's best pass and assists were also missed due to the existence of the rising star Stockton. Moreover, the Magician is not a player with outstanding defense, which has led to the Magician having almost no personal honor this season. The first team of the best team is his most valuable honor this season.

The first team of the 1987-88 season is considered to be the strongest five-man in NBA history. This season's Magic, Jordan, Bird, Barkley and Olajuwon can be compared with the best team in NBA history. Of course, for players of the Magic level, the regular season is just one of them, and the playoffs are his stage.

As the team's center Jabbar aging, the Magicians have also been turned on the "donkey-style employment" mode by the Lakers. The Magicians averaged up to 40.2 minutes per game. Under high intensity, the Magicians' average performance in many games has improved compared to the regular season, including his usual inaccurate three-pointers.

Although Magic Johnson was strong enough, the Lakers' dominance was declining. In addition to their sweeping the Spurs in the first round, the Lakers played tiebreak with their opponents in the semi-finals, the Western Conference Finals and the Finals. When they faced the Pistons in the finals, they even trailed 2-3 and almost lost. The Lakers only won 4 points in the sixth and seventh games in the finals. This time the championship came very hard and very thrilling. The Magic also had a downturn in scoring, but they took good control over passing and sorting out the offense and cutting off the opponent's passing route, and finally helped the Lakers defeat the Pistons' championship again.

This time, FMVP gave both the Magician and Worthy the Lakers. The two of them averaged the highest assists per game and scored the most per game, but the FMVP selection has an interesting approach principle: their performance at the beginning of the series gives people the impression that they are weaker than the end of the series.

Therefore, despite his single-digit single-game performance, Worthy won the favor of voters with his perfect performance in World War Six and Seven. For the Lakers, their next championship was waiting for ten years, while for the Magician, his mode of harvesting personal honors was far from over.
