Alcindor Winner of NBA's Most
Valuable Player Award 70-71
NEW YORK - Lew Alcin
dor, the single moat Important
factor in the meteoric rise of
the Milwaukee Bucks, I* the
National Basketball Associa
tion's Most Valuable Player
for the 1970-71 season.
NBA Commissioner Walter
Kennedy and the Newspaper
Enterprise Association jointly
announced March 20 the elec
tion of the 7-2 superstar who
will receive the Podoloff Cup,
symbolic of the award.
In balloting of the NBA
players, Alcindor received the
most overwhelming first-place
vote since the award was es
tablished at the conclusion of
the 1955-56 season.
He received 133 first-place
votes, 10 seconds and three
thirds on a 5-3-1 point basis.
This added up to 698 points.
Jerry West of the Los Ange
les Lakers was runner-up for
the second straight year and
third time in his career. West
had four first-place votes, 34
seconds and 44 thirds for 166
points.
Dave Bing, Detroit's star
guard, was third with 119
points, and Oscar Robertson,
who joined Alcindor to help
Milwaukee win the Midwest
Division title, came In fifth
.-with 63 points.
Alcindor, in his second
NBA season, won the scoring
average championship at 31.7
points per game. Last year he
was named Rookie of the Year
and came in third behind Reed
and West in Podoloff Cup vot
ing.
But this season, he has been
superlative.
Reed said, "When I play
against him I know my game
has to be at its very best. No
matter what happens, you
don't think of stopping him.
You just hope the other guys
don't hurt you too much.
Right now there is nobody
in the league who influences a
game as much as Alcindor. I
admir* anybody that tail with
such body control, skill, coor
dination and mobility. It's
amazing that a guy his size can
do what he does."
Teammate Greg Smith
added, "Sometimes we have a
tendency to stand around and
watch him when we're suppos
ed to be playing basketball.
He's unbelievable already and,
he's getting better all the
time."
In piling up 133 first-place
votes to just six for the nearest
rival player, Alcindor is the
most lopsided winner of the
Podoloff Cup.

becomes a more interesting in

he knows.
He will develop a deeper
love for his country as he
thrills to the beauty of it. He
will, of course, learn to accept
responsibilities in the camp
community - a responsibility
