2. 1996 Jordan, stole the 1996 Finals MVP from Dennis Rodman.

So a guy who averaged 27ppg stole the award from someone who averaged 7.5ppg. :oldlol:

Man... I can't wait for the offseason to end. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[MP.Trey]

PP from KG
I'm in the very large minority that believes Ray Ray should have won that year.

Broke the NBA Finals record for threes made(at the time) with 22 while averaging 20.3/5.0/2.5 on 50/52/87 percentages.

Averaged more boards, more steals, more blocks, less turnovers than Pierce, and did a great job defending Bryant even though he wasn't the only one tasked with it, he was the most effective IMO. He even held Bryant scoreless for the entire first half of Game 4.

[bdreason]

Parker from Duncan.

Pierce from KG.

[PJR]

Kobe stole Shaq's Finals MVP in 2004. Refused to be a good lil sidekick, and selfishly chucked the team out of the series.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Kobe stealing Shaq's MVP. He wasn't good enough to be Detroit as the man like LeBron or Wade were able to.

[hangintheair]

2013 Lebron stole the Finals MVP from Ray Allen

[Doranku]

Kobe stealing Shaq's MVP. He wasn't good enough to be Detroit as the man like LeBron or Wade were able to.

Just like LeBron and Wade weren't good enough to beat the Celtics as the man so they teamed up to do it. :roll:

Arguably the biggest disgrace and insult to competitive sports of all time.

[livinglegend]

Lebron beat the Celtics twice as the man. Wade was in his team, but Lebron was the man. Your statement is false.

[funnystuff]

Gasol in 2010. PP over KG.

[Doranku]

Lebron beat the Celtics twice as the man. Wade was in his team, but Lebron was the man. Your statement is false.

Nah. LeBron got his dick pushed in by the Celtics in '08. Then he quit on his team against them in '10.

Wade got waxed in 5 by the Celtics in '10. Hell, n!gga couldn't even beat the f*cking Hawks as the man. :roll:

Then they said f*ck it, we can't win, and joined up to beat them. :roll: Those are the facts, bruh. Deal with it.

Lebron couldnt beat them with his scrub teammates, but he beat them with a respectable team. WHen he beat them ( twice), he was ''the man''.

lebron stealing Wade's FMVP in 2011 from Wade. Singlehandedly sabotaged the finals by having the worst choke job of all time by any star NBA player.

How does one go about stealing an award like that? It's not like he voted for himself. He had no control over the vote other than to play

[Lakers2877]

2. 1996 Jordan, stole the 1996 Finals MVP from Dennis Rodman.
Agreed. Rodman was a beast in that series

[Lakers2877]

Jerry West from anyone on the actual championship winning Celtics in 1969.

Willis Reed from Walt Frazier in 1970.

Magic from Kareem in 1980.
I agree that Kareem should have won it in '80 over magic.

But I would not say he stole it. Nothing wrong with him getting it

Kobe The Thief/Rapist

[SamuraiSWISH]

The only 2x instances of this I can think of came in recent years:

Pau Gasol stole Kobe's 2008 Fmvp by not showing up
LeBron James stole Wade's 2011 Fmvp by not showing up

[Boston C's]

I'm in the very large minority that believes Ray Ray should have won that year.

Your not the only one...in fact back when everything was going on I dont really remember k.g being mentioned as a finals mvp candidate as much as allen or pierce...it seemed as it was between those two pretty much all the way

[secund2nun]

Kobe from Gasol twice (09, 10). Pierce from KG in 08. Also Parker from Duncan in 07.

[secund2nun]

The only 2x instances of this I can think of came in recent years:

Pau Gasol stole Kobe's 2008 Fmvp by not showing up
LeBron James stole Wade's 2011 Fmvp by not showing up

Gasol performed better in 2008 than Kobe did in 08 and Gasol was going up against near prime KG. Gasol also performed better in 09, 10 finals than Kobe as well.

[NumberSix]

The only 2x instances of this I can think of came in recent years:

Pau Gasol stole Kobe's 2008 Fmvp by not showing up
LeBron James stole Wade's 2011 Fmvp by not showing up
It's becoming hard to believe that you even follow the NBA.

[Akhenaten]

Lebron couldnt beat them with his scrub teammates, but he beat them with a respectable team. WHen he beat them ( twice), he was ''the man''.

sure bout that b?

2011 ECSF vs Bos

Lebron: 28 ppg, 4 apg, 8 rpg 47% 2spg, 2 bpg

Wade: 30 ppg, 5 apg, 7 rpg 53% 2spg

[SamuraiSWISH]

It's becoming hard to believe that you even follow the NBA.
Really? Look when you registered here.

Pau Gasol was on a milk carton in the 2008 Finals. Part of the reason Kobe struggled so much that series, besides flaws in his approach.

Watching LeBron in the 2011 Finals, particularly in 4th quarters was like trying to play "Where's Waldo?"

Honestly, we know you don't know what you're talking about here.

[sportjames23]

2. 1996 Jordan, stole the 1996 Finals MVP from Dennis Rodman.


Knew at least one ph@ggot was gonna say this.

[JBrizzy]

Just wondering if there any female posters in this forum?

[sportjames23]

Agreed. Rodman was a beast in that series


Shawn Kemp's 1996 NBA Finals averages vs Rodman:

23.3 points on 55% shooting from the field, 10.0 rebounds and 2 blocks.


Dennis was very good, but don't get it twisted--MJ earned that MVP, as he did his 5 other Finals MVPs.

[funnystuff]

lebron stealing Wade's FMVP in 2011 from Wade. Singlehandedly sabotaged the finals by having the worst choke job of all time by any star NBA player.
Lebron didnt even get FMVP. :wtf:


Kobe stans reaching to the unknown. :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

how can they steal it when they didn't get it? gtfo with your idiotic comments.

[VIntageNOvel]

you forgot the one who stole 2011 from wade,
yes his own teammate

[funnystuff]

Dwayne Wade has never played for the Mavericks.

[sekachu]

Agreed. Rodman was a beast in that series

Duncan from Manu in 2005.

[KyleKong]

Kobe Bryant robbed Shaq of his 4th MVP in 2004.

[Magic 32]

Kobe Bryant robbed Shaq of his 4th MVP in 2004.

By not playing well or not passing?

I think Shaq would have had to score 50 ppg for the Lakers to win that series.

[Miller for 3]

Dennis Johnson stole it from Gus Williams in 78 by putting up a horrific game 7, and then undeservingly won it over Gus in 79 because the media felt good that DJ redeemed himself.

[imdaman99]

lebron stole 2013 MVP from ginobli/parker you pick.

[1987_Lakers]

Dennis Johnson stole it from Gus Williams in 78 by putting up a horrific game 7, and then undeservingly won it over Gus in 79 because the media felt good that DJ redeemed himself.

DJ was much better all around than Williams.

[pauk]

So much trolling going around here its nuts :lol

[2010splash]

Kobe stans are fuming right now. But keep in mind that these are simply facts. Kobe has shot-jacked his way to completely awful Finals performances pretty much every time save for 1 or 2 Finals.

In 2010 it was very arguable if Kobe was the Finals MVP. 40 FG% Finals MVP with a 6/24 Game 7? That is incredibly weak. Compare it to Finals MVPs like LeBron 2013 who finishes a team off with a monstrous 37/12/4 and the clutch game-sealing jump shot in Game 7. Very weak.

The same Lebron who had a game where he took 21 shots for 15 points iin that finals?

How many times did Pau drop 30+ in the finals like wade? How many times did the Lakers have a player other than Kobe go for 30+ and another go for 20 in the same finals game?

Yeah, let's see... what are people really going to remember, some 15-point game in a meaningless Game 3 or the 16-point 4th quarter sparking one of the all-time great 4th quarter comebacks in Game 6 and dubbed "The Headband Game" or the beastly 37/12/4 on 12/23 shooting and a Finals-clinching jumper with 26 seconds left in the deciding Game 7 to win Finals MVP?

Kobe stans always gotta reach like crazy on these comparisons. Meanwhile, what Kobe is remembered for in the 2010 Finals is his 6/24 performance in Game 7. People are always going to remember the Lakers winning IN SPITE OF Kobe's shooting woes.

[The Iron Fist]

So a guy who averaged 27ppg stole the award from someone who averaged 7.5ppg. :oldlol:
Oh, so its all about points now huh?

I guess Kobe did get two MVPs stolen from him. 06&07.

[rmt]

Duncan from Manu in 2005.

Duncan 20.6 / 14.1 / 2.1 / 2.1 with anchoring the defense vs Manu 18.7 / 5.9 / 4 in '05.

It should be Manu kept Duncan from getting another Finals MVP in '13 by turning over the ball so much.

[funnystuff]

struck a nerve, I see. LEbrontards so sensitive.

:oldlol:
You just claimed Lebron got the 2011 FMVP. :confusedshrug:

[b1imtf]

I think Shaq would have had to score 50 ppg for the Lakers to win that series.
A bit of both IMO

[rustycage]

Duncan 20.6 / 14.1 / 2.1 / 2.1 with anchoring the defense vs Manu 18.7 / 5.9 / 4 in '05.


Game 7, 4th quarter:
Manu 11 / 3 / 2 vs. Duncan 5 / 2 / 2 with 3 turnovers

No Manu, no party (that is why they lost this year)

[unknowns8]

I'm in the very large minority that believes Ray Ray should have won that year.

Broke the NBA Finals record for threes made(at the time) with 22 while averaging 20.3/5.0/2.5 on 50/52/87 percentages.

I can see your point and can like 90% agree with ya ... and granted that ray ray did perform extremely well in those finals, but ray ray got tee'd up VERY well for most of his shots ... it doesn't diminish the quality of his stats but the quality of play from the C's team (crisp passing, solid screens) got him those quality shots and that's probably what goes against ray ray, rightly or wrongly

Comments like these told me you did not watch the game. It was a defensive game no one shot well and while he did not shoot well Kobe did have a ton of rebounds. Kobe average 10 more points then Gasol and averaged 3 less rebounds despite not being a big man. Kobe haters come up with the dumbest arguments.
