So just being WILLING to guard Lebron in the finals while he drops 30, you get FMVP?

How incredible is this? Seriously.

In 2014 Lebron James averaged 28 points on 57% shooting.
TRB% was 14, AST% was 25. Also averaged 2 steals per game.

Kawhi Leonard? 17 points on 60%.
TRB% was 13, AST% was 10. Averaged less than 1 steal per game.


Lebron was BY FAR the most 'valuable' player playing in the series. It wasn't even a contest. But because the Spurs won, they simply gave the award to the guy who at least TRIED to guard him and couldn't


In 2015...

The exact same thing happened



Why is this thing still called the Bill Russell FMVP? Please rename it the King James FMVP. They basically just auto-give it to anyone willing to lie down in front of the bulldozer, even if they get plowed


Thanks for your attention. Looking forward to lively discussion

The bigger question is will LeBron James get the Barry Bonds treatment and be excluded from the Hall of Fame for PED abuse?

Meanwhile Kobe can average 15 ppg on 37% in the 2000 finals and teams consider that "letting Kobe go off"

JJ Berea and Jason Terry deserve finals MVP for locking down Lebron James in the finals. I agree

[Straight_Ballin]

Meltdown.

[kennethgriffin]

it wasnt even so much an iggy style fmvp. kawhi just outplayed everyone on the spurs offensively and had a more important job on defense than tony parker

it wasnt so much that kawhi shut down lebron. its that lebron was denied the ball and passed allot when kawhi was on him.


lebron just protected his fg% allot during the 2014 finals.

iggys the only guy out of the 2 that lebron actually forced it with taking tough fade aways at 25% beyond 5 feet



there was no stephen currys on the spurs averaging 26ppg.


both parker and kawhi were at 18 or 19ppg


so they just gave it to the guy who made it tougher for lebron

[bobopenguin]

why cant bron family just accept this fact: time to jump this sinking ship, cos 2/7 is coming. earlier u do, easier for u. dont be another silk or dubeta.

Lebron padded his stats when the 2 guys weren't even guarding him. He was shook when they were, and voters noticed

thats not an uncommonly used or flawed metric though
