The 1986 76ers hold the record for the most former or future MVPs on a team at one time

There are a 3 teams in nba history who have had 3 former or future mvps on them (2012 thunder, 2004 lakers, 1982-1985 lakers). But only one team has had 4 former or future MVPs on it.

The 1986 76ers had:

Julius Erving (MVP in the NBA in 1981, won 3 MVPs in a row in the ABA)

Moses Malone (MVP in 1979, 1982 and 1983)

Charles Barkley (MVP in 1993)

Bob McAdoo (MVP in 1975)

Each of them are in the twilight of their career (Julius Erving and Bob McAdoo). Early in their career (Charles Barkley) or in the middle of still being really good but not MVP level anymore (Moses Malone).

Either way I thought it was interesting that because Bob McAdoo didn’t resign with the lakers and instead spent his last season in the NBA in Philly, there’s a team that (albeit none in their prime) had 4 mvps at one time in their career all on the same team.

It’s crazy that McAdoo was still playing 111 years later.

Yes, this, Hakeem talks about it in his book, how he couldn’t do anything with Moses drop step and that he taught him a lot

McAdoo is also the only MVP winner ever to play with 6 other future or former MVP winners.

Cowens, Kareem, Magic, Chuck, Moses and Dr J.

Other fun fact, the only MVPs to never play with another future or former MVP are Pettit, Wilt, Unseld, Willis Reed, MJ, AI, Giannis and SGA.

Thats fun trivial. I think the player thats played with most MVPs is Derek Fisher who played with Shaq, Kobe, Malone, Harden, Westbrook, KD, and Nowitzki

Edit: Jeff Green with 8 wins this with KD, Russ, Harden, KG, Shaq, Lebron, DRose, Jokic

It’s insane that Jerry West never won regular season MVP.

In one of those years there was a famous dust up while Charles Barkley and Moses Malone held Larry Bird while Dr. J punched him.

Been posted before, but there’s a cool pic that has everybody above except McAdoo and also has Mo Cheeks (AS, All-NBA Defense, #10 retired) and Andrew Toney (AS and becomes an MVP any time he sees Boston)

That’s obviously not true.

LeBron has only went to teams with four other current MVPs as teammates.

Who’s getting an MVP now from that team? Klay? Draymond? Kevon Looney?

The 2026 Sixers are still the most stacked team of all team. They have FOUR proven no. 1 option franchise players on good playoff teams all still playing at a high level. Their four players include:
LBJ - Arguably the GOAT who is still averaging more than 20 points, with 4 MVPs
Maxey - A top 5 scorer of last season
Joel - an MVP just 3 years ago
and JB, a MVP candidate LAST season and #4 in PPG

If you compare that to OKC’s three, none of those guys had MVPs by that point.
If you compare to Miami Heat’s three, Chris Bosh was the franchise guy on a non-playoff team
