Let's all just agree that finals mvp is an overrated award.

As others mentioned he had a huge defensive impact - but it was more about the security of having him allowing perimeter defenders to do their thing than the other way around.
Agendas don't read.

anyhow, it's not called the "PMVP". We're talking about the finals. Dirk's finals were good. Not great.
He didn't have some kind of epic defensive impact and he did go on long stretches where his shot wasn't falling. Like I said though, even with his shot not falling, his late game heroics give him an edge.
What am I saying here that's not factually correct?
But you did with Dirk
We all know its FMVP. I was just letting you know how great Dirk was that year in his Playoff run.
No one is going to make a "EPIC" Defensive impact with Load that Dirk had to carry on Offense. Only person maybe is Duncan but he still had much better players who can create on offensive end then Dirk did.
wtf you talking about being Factual?

Re: What is the worst finals MVP performance in modern history?
im gonna protect chauncey billups, the whole point of fmvp is best player on best team and even though its arguable i thought chauncey was most important.
i feel like all around great teams (like those pistons) that werent carried definitively by a superstar (d wade heat) make it harder to have a definitive fmvp, but it doesnt make it less important

Re: What is the worst finals MVP performance in modern history?
k.g's numbers looked great in 08 but when it was going on I remember the finals talk being between ray and pierce after 4 games with ppl givin ray the slight edge since his numbers were better at the time through 4 games...pierce then went bonkers droppin 38 in game 5 and his numbers went up...I thought ray should have won it in 08 due to him being the most consistent performer and doing a great job on kobe...pierce did great while defending kobe that yr too but ray was no slouch...he knew how to force kobe into help D and make him take difficult shots

The best player in on the floor, period. Game 1 is not even a debate.
Kobe was better in all of the road games. Again, not even close (in fact Gasol's play was disgraceful at times).
So all you can point to are game 2 (a loss), game 6 (a blowout with Kobe resting) and game 7 (when Gasol shot 3-12 in the first half).
...Idiot.

Re: What is the worst finals MVP performance in modern history?
Only on ish will you hear that a guy that went 30/8/5 had a bad series. I'm kinda drunk right now but the one that came to mind immediately was parker in 07 or 05, cant remember the year.

Parker averaged 24.5 ppg on 57 FG% in the 2007 NBA Finals. TP9 abused the Cavaliers back court.
