Close to a trick question due to the move but I believe that I have it Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain Q#6: One other person who was born in Africa that won the NBA MVP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Browns57: You got it. Wilt won the MVP with both the Philadelphia Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers. So that gives us all the answers except these which I will give to close out the subject: Q #3: The 5 teams that have never had a player win an MVP award are the Mets, the Marlins, the Diamondbacks, the (Devil) Rays, and the Nationals/Expos. Q#6. The final answer to "which 2 MVPs were born in Africa is: Akeem Olajuwon of course, and....Steve Nash. Nash was born in South Africa, but his family moved when he was very young to Canada. Bonus question: Who was the last Indians player to win the MVP award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
