Why couldn't the player who had the greatest offensive season in recent memory and back to back MVPs close it out in Games 5, 6, or 7?

3. Hassan Whiteside - 28

Not gonna lie, I know the Heat's first series went 7 but he got hurt midway through Round 2, didn't play again, and still finished in the top 2 in playoff blocks. I think Hassan is overrated like hell as a basketball player, but that's impressive af.

And to think, he still underperformed his season block averages by almost a full BPG.

whiteside is a beast, he's so damn long, like Bynum long, that he could be completely out of the picture, a guy goes for a layup and he swats it out of nowhere.. which did a ton of great things for miami.. blocks kept in play are huge momentum changers....

Because he's Stephen Curry

Because he's Stephen Curry

Yes, one of the most clutch players in NBA history

[COLOR="Red"]Most 4th Quarter Points during the Finals[/COLOR]

1995 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5
2000 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5 (61.1% TS)
2015 Stephen Curry 10.8 [COLOR="Green"](75.1% TS)[/COLOR]
1997 Michael Jordan 10.7 (55.1% TS)
1998 Michael Jordan 10.6 (50.6% TS)
2011 Dirk Nowitzki 10.3 (68.0% TS)
1993 Michael Jordan 10.3

2015 Steph Curry had arguably the most clutch performance in NBA history. The only player to score more 4th Quarter Finals points than Steph Curry was Shaquille O'Neal, and he didn't even score one point more than Curry while Curry scored 14% more efficiently than Shaquille

Curry was suffering from an MCL injury

Look at his 2015 Finals when he was on two healthy knees

Perhaps the most critical segment of this series came at the end of the third quarter of Game 4, Cleveland cutting the Warriors lead to three. The Q was rocking. The Finals hung in the balance.

Curry calmly called for the ball, shook a defender and drained a three, pushing Golden State to a six-point lead. In a reversal of roles, a gassed LeBron tried to answer with a three of his own at the buzzer, only to miss badly. When James went to the bench to rest at the start of the fourth quarter, the Warriors seized control of the game and the Finals.

Curry finished with 22 that night. He then dropped 37, including 17 in the fourth quarter, in Game 5. On Tuesday, he dropped a couple of massive threes to help stem a fourth-quarter Cleveland surge, then when double-teamed, hit a wide-open Klay Thompson for another.

Not only did Curry average an MVP-like 26 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in 43 minutes per game, but as Kerr told his point guard, sometimes a point guard has to put his own game now in favor of managing the game for his teammates.
That is what Curry relayed when he said in the postgame press conference, "The Finals are not that different from normal NBA games. It's just the spotlight is different, and soar are the expectations. When you have an average game, you find out in the Finals that people were expecting more. But really, that stuff doesn't matter. It's all about winning. That's what I've learned. I just need to impact games, be myself every other night, do other things to help my team win and be OK with that. Manage the game from a point-guard standpoint, find a way to win and that's what we did
