Would Lebron James accept the FMVP Award if he were to win it but lose the series?

[Fallen Angel]

This dude brags about how he's a team player and is gonna bring a championship to Cleveland, yet he would ultimately contradict himself accepting an individual award on a losing team effort.

He's essentially putting himself on a higher pedestal than his teammates even though he got rid of the headband and claimed the role of the coach/GM/older brother to his younger teammates.

What is he telling the city of Cleveland that expects a championship banner to be raised in the rafters that instead they can bask in the glory of a FMVP trophy with another L on the schedule. This is all but becoming a repeat of those late 2000s Cavalier years where they can't get over the playoff hump, but in return they can gloat about the greatness of an individual player about how he carried a sorry ass franchise.

Lebron's better off letting some player from Golden State winning the award, I don't even think this era of NBA fans would accept a player on a losing team to be crowned the FMVP. That achievement is just begging for an asterisk to be placed next to it.

Curry is getting it.

[Real14]

Curry will accept it.

[Harison]

After Curry's GM5 nobody is giving FMVP to Lebron, even though he was the best player in the series.

[DaSeba5]

Curry is going to win it. This game seals it for Curry unless Iggy really goes off the next game or two (even then that's a stretch). Assuming they win the series (which I think they will).

You do realize he has no say in the matter?

If LBJ doesn't win it, the guy winning it shouldn't accept it.

You're not required to get on stage and have a press conference to accept an award

It's never happened, but I can imagine there's a small fine that goes with it. The league would probably mail the trophy to Lebron if he doesn't take it with him, from there he would do with it what he pleases.

Closest Bron's gonna get to this opportunity, is when Steph Curry, while holding the FMVP trophy, in celebration, very classy in victory, mentions quickly how LeBron was so incredibly valuable to his team, in defeat.

That is all.

If LBJ doesn't win it, the guy winning it shouldn't accept it.

this isn't your 3rd grade sister's soccer league, dude. Losers don't get trophies in the NBA.

[konex]

The LeBron dick-riders in the media that want to give it to him even if he loses are embarrassing.

Nash got 2 MVPs, Rose has 1.

[Doranku]

26/6/5 is too good of a stat line to not get FMVP if the Warriors win. Especially with this game 5 performance in recent memory.

[Straight_Ballin]

Nash got 2 MVPs, Rose has 1.

And the NBA has since learned the errors of their ways.

It's now earned, not given and bron doesn't even have a case after Curry's game
5.

Thats truly incredible Nash and Rose won FMVP's, seeing they never played in finals. (Though Nash got robbed of one finals appearance by suspensions for leaving the bench)

Your boy deserved another few REGULAR SEASON MVP's, but if you genuinely think someone who shoots 38% on the losing team deserves FMVP, then, well, me and you are just plain ole different.
