His accomplishments was winning eleven NBA games. He coached for the hornets and the bulls. Phil Jackson

For 12 years, Earvin Magic Johnson on dominated the court as one of America’s best basketball players.

In the biggest game of his college football career, Jackson was faced with 4th down on the 1-yard line where he did what no one has seen before by going over the top of the defensive line and scoring to win the game. Today, that play is not seen as a rarity because of what Jackson started. During the 1989 All-Star game, at leadoff, Jackson hit a moonshot that set the tone for the game and later awarding him the MVP. He did not back down in the face of adversity, but rather excelled like a true epic hero.

Louisville Cardinals sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson had a spectacular freshman campaign in 2015. The dual-threat quarterback from Boynton Beach, Florida, passed for 1,840 yards and 12 touchdowns and rushed for 960 yards and 11 touchdowns in Bobby Petrino's spread offense. Simply put, he was unstoppable.

As a 2008-2009 junior, he averaged 32 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and 3 steals per game. During his senior year, he averaged 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. Overall, he was ranked the number 8 player in the 2010 class by Scout.com. ESPN ranked him number 9 and Rivals.com ranked him number 13. In January 2010, he was named to the Junior National Select Team to play in the 2010 Nike Hoop Summit

So in the 1987 draft the raiders chose him with their seventh round pick. The owner of the raiders seemed to take a liking in Jackson's baseball career so he offered him a contract that would allow him to pursue baseball but also have to work part-time in football after each MLB season. During the 1990 NFL season he rushed for 698 yards in 10 games and earned himself a Pro Bowl selection. But an injury also came with all of those accomplishments as he suffered a hip injury that the treatment couldn’t help. That spring the Royals released him and he was later acquired the the White Sox. He was able to play 23 games before his hip had deteriorated so much that he had to have it replaced.

Michael Jeffrey Jordan is a famous NBA player and is widely recognized as one of the best basketball players of all time. He played 15 seasons in the NBA and played at the shooting guard position. In his prime he played for the Chicago Bulls and towards his final years of his outstanding career, he joined the Washington Wizards. Michael Jordan served as an icon for many young fans worldwide, some of which eventually became great athletes. Michael Jordan was so dominant on the court that another NBA great, Magic Johnson, commented, “There’s Michael, then there’s the rest of us.”

He averaged a 3.0 for grades and was accepted by the university of North Carolina. Carter Jr. was the 5th overall pick in the 1998 NBA draft. He was the 2000 NBA dunk contest champion.

Although it was difficult to decide, I believe Charles Dumrique is deserving of the MVP nomination. Becoming a great basketball player is more than just the skills and flashy moves an individual can display on the court, but it involves the hard work, determination and will to want to improve on the most intangible traits that aren't easily detectable. The kind of traits that make a player great in situations that require them to perform, all of which I believe Charles contains. He also had a strong awareness for the game, understanding when to give up the ball and when to take charge and score. This allowed others to improve around him because he not only played at a high level, but he also provided that spark encouraging others to

Even with experience Jackson may never change but to receive something so meaningful to him and his family is something special to

Did you know that he got cut from his high school team?! They said he was too short. So he practiced and practiced then he tried out again. The next year he made the team and averaged 26.8 points per game wow!.
