Who was the best player in 2005?
Also, you'd think that if you made a thread like this you'd include a 6/6 Guy but yeah, other then that your list seems fine.
Lebron has often appeared better even when he was losing.
2015 being the best example. The fact that Iggy and Kawahi won FMVP just for guarding him (Though not as successfully as advertised imo) is a point to that.

The consensus was that Ginobli was the best player in 2005

Duncan averaged 20 ppg on a putrid 47% TS
As a point of reference LeBron got destroyed by fans for shooting better efficiency and averaging 36 points in the 2016 Finals. So Duncan averaging 20ppg on 47% is pretty bad.
Ginobli averaged 19 points on 63% TS and was the key closer in Games 4, 5 and 7

Yeah I don't think anyone can/will/should diss Lebron on the 16' finals.

Duncan was the best player in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2013.

Nobody but clowns with an agenda (like dray) think Ginobili was better than Duncan in the 2005 finals.

WTF is this.
There's a difference between FMVP and best player in the Finals
Shaq was the best player in 2004, even though Billups was FMVP

But usually not ... That's why it's the award for best player in the series. Only truly rare exceptions occur every once in awhile. Usually the best player in the series has impact that wins games. And isn't hollow stat padding.

So you agree Rodman was the best player in the 1996 finals even though Jordan was FMVP?
