Derrick Rose and Wes Unseld are tied for the youngest MVPs of the season. Bob Pettit is unique among other MVPs. This is because he holds the distinction of being the first winner of the award. He spent 11 seasons in the NBA and made the most of it as the second overall pick in the draft. Chamberlain had his jersey removed by three teams.
Notable career achievements include his championship in 1983, 1,869 blocked shots and 17,834 rebounds. That translates to a whopping 12.2 rebounds per game. At 19, Garet Mitchell won the Pulitzer Prize for his novel “Gone with the Wind.” In 1947, Japan's post-war constitution came into force. In 1948, the Supreme Court, in the case of Shelley v.
Kraemer, ruled that covenants prohibiting the sale of real estate to blacks or members of other racial groups were legally inapplicable. In 1960, the Harvey Schmidt-Tom Jones musical “The Fantasticks” began airing for nearly 42 years at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in New York. In 1979, Conservative Party leader Margaret Thatcher was elected to become Britain's first female prime minister, when the Conservatives overthrew the current Labour government in parliamentary elections. In 1987, the Miami Herald said that its reporters had seen a young woman spend “Friday night and most of Saturday” in a house in Washington that belonged to Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart.
The woman was later identified as Donna Rice; the resulting controversy ruined Hart's presidential bid. In addition to being the MVP, he won it again in 1959, took home the championship in 1958, was the NBA Rookie of the Year and entered the Hall of the Fame in 1970. The MVP is the pinnacle of individual achievements in the NBA and, to achieve this, the athlete must demonstrate more than brute skill and beautiful statistics. Despite his incredible start in the NBA, he could also stand out on his own as the only MVP who didn't make it to the Hall of Fame simply because of his lack of availability.
