The others to do that were also, not surprisingly, named series MVP: Michael Jordan in 1993 (six games, against the Suns), Hakeem Olajuwon in 1995 (four games, against the Magic), and Shaquille O’Neal, who did it twice: in 2000 (six games, against the Pacers) and 2002 (four games, against the Nets).
