Hey, I'm doing a little research out of curiosity. Can anybody tell me which college churns out the most NBA MVPs? Seems like a fun stat to know.
Hello! It's indeed a fun question! Until now, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) houses the highest number of NBA MVPs coming from a single college. The two notable NBA MVPs who went to UCLA are Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
However, it's important to keep in mind that many NBA MVPs, notably LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, bypassed college to directly enter the NBA after high school. So, while UCLA currently holds this record, there are numerous paths, not all academic, that lead towards NBA success.
Stay curious and keep digging into such interesting facts!
