ESPN Insider Request...Playoff MVP's...

[Dro]

Postseason MVPs

1. John Wall, PG
Washington Wizards
2015 playoff stats:
17.4 PPG | 12.6 APG

Relentless. That is the best one-word description for how Wall plays. There is no aspect of the game Wall is not impacting, because he has been energized every moment he is on the court.

It's his sense of timing, though, that suggests he is using his brains and not just his talent and attitude. In Game 1 in Atlanta, with the Hawks sitting on a 10-point lead in the third quarter, Wall saw the opportunity to look for his shot more to get his team back in the game. His midrange jumpers were a big part of Washington's win, something Atlanta seems willing to live with. He still got to the rim, too, ready to explode through a seam when it was open enough.

Wall is still undefeated in this postseason (he missed Game 2's loss with the wrist injury) and has maintained his edge, continuing to look like a guy out to prove he belongs in the conversation of the game's best point guards.

Need to be an insider to see the rest...It would be greatly appreciated...

Is this what is says? Or is this your list? Not that I disagree or anything...I haven't really looked over it..It looks pretty accurate. I may move Harden down a bit....probably below Lebron...Might have to move Pau up past Conley...

Ok, much appreciated...:rockon: +rep

No problem, mayne

Harden ahead of Bron :biggums:

26.7 ppg on 23.5 FGA and 6.3 FTA 50.7 TS% with 4.5 TO/g. LeBron hasn't been that great this postseason, low efficiency volume scoring with high turnovers.

Hard to imagine there have been 13 guys better than Kyrie... 24/4/4 on 45/42/85 with 1.2 steals and only 1.5 turnovers.

His TS% is 59.2. That is higher than LeBron, Curry, Blake, Conley, Butler, or anyone else on that list not named Chris Paul or James Harden.

Harden, despite his bullshit free throws, has clearly been better than LeBron this postseason.

Harden 36.0 mpg 27.7/3.9/8.3 on 65.5 TS% 53.4 eFG% 25.4 PER .229 WSp48
LeBron 41.3 mpg 26.7/9.8/6.7 on 50.7 TS% 46.8 eFG% 23.8 PER .147 WSp48

Harden has put up better raw numbers in less minutes played at a much higher efficiency. Although both are averaging a horrid 5 to/g.

Irving has quite clearly been the best player on the Cavs this postseason, he just doesn't get the credit because LeBron is on the team. You can say LeBron has impacted the games more, but that's because his usage is through the roof and the most since 2008-09. Which makes no sense seeing as he has another top 10 NBA scorer on his team.

that is just not true based on both numbers and eye test.

that is just not true based on both numbers and eye test.

Lebron is averaging 2.7 more ppg on 6.7 more FGA and 1.5 less FTA
LeBron is averaging 2.4 more apg with 2.8 more to/g

Those numbers alone create a MASSIVE gap between the two. LeBron is using roughly 11 more possessions to account for 8 points per game. That's .72 points per possession, which is terrible. Anything below 1 ppp is in the bottom 5 in the league in the regular season
