Michael Jordan has won a total of 5 MVPs throughout his career. In 1991 and 1992 Jordan won back-to-back MVP awards. Jordan has shown exceptional dominance on the court as well as off the court. During these seasons, Jordan was at the peak of his powers and led the Chicago Bulls to their first two championships in franchise history. Despite winning 5 MVPs in his career, there is someone who claimed his credits for Jordan’s performance.

His impact on the game transcends statistics and awards, as he served as a role model for aspiring basketball players and inspired a generation of fans.

Who took credits for MJ’s MVP performance?

In the recent episode of complex podcast, actor and comedian Marlon Wayans spoke about his role in the upcoming movie about Michael Jordan and the Air Jordan sneaker line. Wayans explained that his role in the film focused on how his influence as a coach helped bring Jordan to Nike, and he was not involved in the production aspect of the movie. He also commented on the absence of Jordan himself in the film, but stated that he did not believe Jordan would care about the movie’s production, as he is already making money from his deal that gives him a percentage of every Air Jordan sold.
