MTV gave him that award because JT is the golden boy and the all mighty "white hope". He has another album coming out (Part II of the 20/20 experience) so it was a promotional tool so to speak. People dont vote on that and its determined by the producers for marketing reasons.

He said himself he didnt deserve it (which I respect him for saying). However, I dont know why someone would accept something they know they didnt deserve.

Whether you win a legend award, 35 grammys, etc it has no meaning if you dont have the catalogue and works to speak for it. Its just another statue taking up space. In 50 yrs NOBODY is not going to remember a single JT music video but they will be still looking at MJs. So that award means nothing
