5 Youngest MVP Winners in NBA History

#2 Wes Unseld - 23 years old

Wes was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1988.

Wes was drafted second overall in the first round by the Baltimore Bullets in the 1968 NBA draft and he made an impact in the league straight away. Along with leading the Bullets to a division title as a rookie in 1969, Unseld also earned both Rookie of the Year and MVP honours, averaging 13.8 points and 18.2 rebounds.

He is well known to be one of the best Washington Bullets players of all time. Unseld took the Bullets franchise to four NBA Finals, and won the championship in 1978, winning the Finals MVP in the process. He concluded his playing career following the 1980–1981 season, and his #41 jersey was retired by the Bullets shortly thereafter.

After retiring in 1981, Wes remained connected to the Bullets franchise as a vice president of the front office and subsequently, the head coach in 1988.

In 1996, he was named as one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players of All Time.
