Jordan was runner up to the MVP award 3 times. There was a misconeption that the media shouldn't vote for Jordan "every year" because it wasn't fair to the other players, even though Jordan was the most deserving player to win MVP at least 8 times. To cap it all off, Michael Jordan even finished 13th in MVP voting, while playing for the Wizards, at the age of 38.
