Which of these Finals MVP selections would you change

[gyu]

Have no issues with Iggy winning it, but it boggles my mind how not one voter thought Curry was worthy of FMVP.

[ZMonkey11]

Probably '88. Give it to the referees.

[SHAQisGOAT]

1973: Frazier (either in '70 or in '73 should've gone to Walt, got no beef with Reed having 1 but 2 is reaching, Clyde deserves to have 1 of those)

1978: Hayes

1980: Kareem

1981: Bird

1988: Magic

2015: Curry


That's more like it... Few of those selections even reach ridiculous grounds, tbh.

[Bandito]

In 12 I wouldve given to the refs and 13 to Ray Allen.

[Real14]

In 12 I wouldve given to the refs and 13 to Ray Allen.

I agree plus I like to add 06 should be given to the refs as well

[BuffaloBill]

Duncan not getting any respect for 2007? He deserved it I though.

Parker got the fmvp for destroying boobie gibson basically. Duncan was the better player throughout the playoffs obviously.

[GoSpursGo1984]

Iggy sure as hell deserved the award.

Pau Gasol in 2010 sticks out the most to me.

Anyone not a Kobe hater can see that Kobe was the best player in the series you do not give an MVP to a player who disappears in big games.

[Real14]

99 should be Ewing's knees too.

[brownmamba00]

1980 Magic

That was Kareem's team.

[ArbitraryWater]

2010 probably, 2015 no doubt. Just a 7-4 voting difference anyway.

OP you love these kinda threads eh?

[riseagainst]

inb4 201.

1981: Maxwell, Bird was suppose to win.

1988: Worthy, Magic's award.

Not mentioned in the list, but 2007 FMVP Parker, Duncan had bigger impact.

2008: Pierce, because Garnett was the most valuable and impactful player.

2015: Iggy, it was Curry's award. Funny how Garnett's or Duncan's defense and overall impact didnt matter, but Iggy's worse impact was considered FMVP worthy.

Iggy was guarding the best player in the league and made countless of big shots. You guys are underrating his impact.

I'd still give it to Curry though.

[Svendiggity]

Hayes over Unseld. look at their stats

[3ball]

I'd give the 2015 Finals MVP to Steph Curry, hands down.

Iggy's impact on Lebron is overstated because Lebron shot JUST AS POORLY against Chicago (39.9%) and Atlanta (43.8%).

And obviously, Iggy didn't play for the Bulls or Hawks.. Instead, the common thread in each playoffs series was 1) Lebron's higher shot volume, 2) Lebron's high isolation frequency coupled with his league-low FG% on these isolations.

It isn't debateable that Lebron's poor isolation FG% tanked his overall FG% in these playoffs - it's statistical fact.. Teams let him isolate because they knew he was a horrible isolation player.. Period..

The tape don't lie.. This is part of historical record - of course, 10 years from now, posters will invariably misconstrue and misstate these facts.. They're already doing it and the series is barely a month old.

Duncan in 05. Ginobili was clearly the most impactful player on the team.
