It’s unclear what « # » means… Is it the number of players from that country that have been MVP or the number of times a player from that country has been MVP?

I think the Answer Stats table answers that question. Also, I'm pretty sure there have been more than 37 seasons of NBA since 1955. ;)

I knew where the Embiid was from and that he was an MVP but because of the ordering of the answers I racked my brain a good 2 minutes for the last one trying to figure out a country that fit between Canada and Germany alphabetically that an MVP hailed from. Then I realized that my missing answer needed to fit between Afghanistan and Germany not Canada and Germany.

Not a basketball guy (though I really like the sport), but I went to school with one of Hakeem Olujawon’s sons!

He was a really polite quiet guy (he was in my physics class). Unfortunately, we had - for lack of a better word - a discriminatory POS as our teacher who didn’t like him much. I heard he committed to Stanford though, so good for him!

As for me, go Coogs! We almost had the NCAA last year >:(
