Maybe it’s something about the first name Troy. Troy Aikman won Super Bowl MVP with the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas’ 52-17 win over the Buffalo Bills.

The Cowboys thrashed the Bills but Aikman shined the brightest, as he returned to the Rose Bowl and threw for four touchdowns and 273 yards in the first of Aikman’s three Super Bowls.

NBA: Bill Walton (1977) and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar (1971 and 1985)

Portland Trailblazers center Bill Walton in action during the 1977 season.

UCLA’s shined the brightest on the hardwood so it makes sense that the Bruins have had three NBA Finals MVPs. Lew Alcindor was the first, getting it done in 1971 with the Milwaukee Bucks alongside Oscar Robertson in the Bucks’ sweep of the Baltimore Bullets.

Bill Walton would accomplish the feat in 1977 with the Portland Trail Blazers beating the Philadelphia 76ers in six games, with Walton scoring 20 points and grabbing 23 rebounds in the series-clinching win.

One name change later, Kareem Abdul-Jabaar would win the 1985 NBA Finals MVP, helping a young Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers knock off the rival Boston Celtics in six games.
