ESPN pushing Iggy MVP

[bluechox2]

pure shame...where were all the espn articles of delly mvp when they went up 2-1

delly's effort in those 2 games put cavs up 2-1...same way iggy showed up last two games to put warriors up 3-2

currys been putting up 30 or so , good enough to get the mvp

[LAZERUSS]

JVG today on the Mike-and-Mike show...

Lebron can stay home in Akron tonight, and he is still the FMVP.

Delly got his 15 minutes of fame.

Regular season MVP (Best player on the best team)
FMVP ( Best player on the best team)

Lebron has no business winning it, that said the difference between him and the next player is huge :P.

He's pathetic.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Im pleasantly surprised. According to ESPN insiders alot of the members have Iggy in the lead and a couple are thinking bout Bran over Steph too. Hopefully Iggy scores alot today and plays his usual lockdown D and great facilitator/handling role

[Funktion]

Damn the shitstorm that's going to come when Curry wins the MVP.

[Funktion]

Bran said today that he wants a ring not some individual award. That said if he wins it will there be anyone left in the stands?

[BlakFrankWhite]

I don't get it.

How is 26 ppg on 45% FG a big deal....don't forget he's had to do NOTHING in defense coz Delly can't score to for his life

They should name it most valuable player on the best team then.

[nba_55]

and 5.0 turnovers per game.

He even got torched by Delly in game 3 they had to put Livingston and Klay on him after:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

Those Ws though.... he's not getting backdoor swept like Durant.

yup. and iggy is a great scorer with a beautiful shooting touch, so lebron had his hands full.

[nba_55]

You mean like OKC. Durant wasn't playing alone nor is Curry.

[nba_55]

No, but Lebron is putting 37/8 on the other hand. :hammerhead:

[warriorfan]

let the meltdowns commence :rockon:

[TheReal Kendall]

I watched ESPN quite a bit today and Lebron was the the only person they were discussing for FMVP.

[MP.Trey]

After that FT debacle in Game 5, I don't see how anyone could give him FMVP.

[bluechox2]

steph curry needs to have an out of this world game to take the fmvp away from espn brainwashed so called "analysts"

[kennethgriffin]

it would be a slap in the face to curry and the warriors and all they worked for all playoffs to just throw the award away to the losing team when in reality it was the warriors game plan to let lebron go off on bad percentages


currys averaging better scoring numbers in the finals than he did during his actual MVP season for god sake

[kennethgriffin]

stephen curry

24ppg, 4rpg, 7apg = season MVP


26ppg, 5rpg, 6apg = NOT finals MVP?


:roll:

[FatComputerNerd]

I think if GS wins it all tonight Curry has earned it. (unless he plays cr@ppy)

If we take it to 7 and Lebron plays out of his mind tonight w/o much support things get more complicated.

His performance these finals really has been unprecedented, regardless of his shooting %'s.

how is scoring a ton on bad shooting unprecedented

thats exactly what the warriors game plan was

theyre letting him go 1 on 1 all series and hes forcing it with inefficient hogging

this is what the warriors WANT

how is this valuable if its the reason the warriors are WINNING

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:



kobe had the best stats in 2008 when he lost the finals. wheres his FMVP LOL

oh but kobes fg% wasnt the best


DUUUUUUH LOL neither is lebrons

[Droid101]

Yeah... you can't give it to a losing player who is doing exactly what the winning team wants... take bad shots at a bad percentage (relative to his normal performance).

Meh. ESPN will do just about anything to prop the guy up though, so we'll see what happens.

[BBallZen83]

:roll:

God you are beyond dense. Like another poster said. It's FINALS MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. It's not the most valuable player on the team that wins. It's not the player that won regular season MVP on some stats and is putting up slightly better stats on worse efficiency.

If there is any shred of honesty among any of us, who is the most valuable frickin player in this finals? Lebron by a wide, wide margin. Curry is gone, GS still has a good chance of winning, Iggy gone, GS still has a good chance of winning. Lebron gone, holy shiet, Cleveland is getting their sh*t pushed in.

The most valuable player, is with out any doubt Lebron James, that being said, even though they gave it to West decades ago, I don't see them doing it again. It looks bad for the NBA, and the NBA is only concerned about image, not about intellectual honesty.

Also, Curry had his first truly great finals performance last night. If he follows it up with another masterpiece and dispatches the Cavs in Quicken Loans, then he will obviously most likely win the FMVP.

You and Kenneth are just flat out wrong. If he was distributing it at his usual clip they would be losing even worse. This is what they have to do to have a prayer of winning. Just be honest for once you guys.

since f*cking when

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

1969 was the last and only time a losing player won it


because

a) they felt sorry for west losing 7 straight finals

b) boston had 7 HOF'rs

c) i think west averaged 20 more ppg than anyone



lebrons averaging 10 more ppg than currys 26ppg ... thats nice. but not out of this world

gasol averaged 10 less ppg than kobe and theres people who say he deserved FMVP LOL

how many guys throughout history have won finals mvp with less stats than a guy on the losing team?



pierce averaged 21/4/5 on 43% in the 2008 nba finals

kobe averaged 26/5/5 on 41% in the 2008 nba finals




BUT ITS NOT THE MVP OF THE WINNING TEEEEEAM!

What?

He CAN'T distribute his normal way, because nobody is doubling him, nobody is trapping him, and everyone is staying tied to their guy to limit open shots from anyone else.

They are DARING LeBron to beat them alone, and they're winning. That's not an MVP. If anyone, Kerr should get it for employing this strategy.

[Collie]

FMVP should always ALWAYS come from the winning team. It's the cherry on top of a championship, and giving it to an opposing player would take away from the championship team's moment. It would be a slap in the face of every member of that team.

He was giving it to JR non-stop in the first half. He is always trying to hit the hot player and get others going. JR started missing some shots and then did basically nothing in the second half. HE CAN'T get the consistent production from players who are used to coming off the bench all year and are nowhere near the offensive skill sets of Kyrie or Love.

Again, I repeat, what they have been doing was their only chance. It's why they even won 2 games.

Thanks for showing us how the award is a joke. They should take the FMVP away if that's the case and if they don't want to take it away, they should name it '' Most valuable player on the winning team''. It's kind of misleading named it FMVP when you can be by far the most valuable player and still not win it.

[Mr. Jabbar]

2espn6 and their pro lebald agenda :sleeping

[FatComputerNerd]

NBA.com/Stats ‏@nbastats 7 minutes ago
LeBron has scored or assisted on 66.5% of @cavs field goals this round. The next highest such % this series is Steph (42.2%) #NBAFinals

This is pretty significant IMO.

[kennethgriffin]

Thanks for showing us how the award is a joke.


When was the last time a guy won season mvp on a team that lost more games than it won


Winning is the most important stat... except when its lebron



How does a guy win fmvp when only winning 2 out of 6 games

:oldlol:

I never said Lebron deserves to get the FMVP based on what the NBA usually does. I said in the very last line, if Steph comes out and steps on the Cav's throats tonight, he is a lock for the FMVP. If he come out and lays a dud and Iggy does more, or pulls it through with his defense on Bron in game 7, THEN I almost feel like he has more of a case then Steph overall for the entire series. I feel like Iggy turned this series around more for the Dubs then Steph did.

Either way, I would see Steph or Iggy getting the FMVP over Lebron if the Dubs win it. That being said, Lebron has been far and away the most valuable player this finals, and it's not just the 10 pts per game more he is providing over Steph, it's that and LITERALLY everything else he is bringing to the table. This is the first time I have ever seen sports writers clamoring that a player on a losing team actually has a case to win FMVP. That speaks to the historic performance he is having.

But whatever, you hate Lebron, and nothing overshadows that or clears your mind for reasonable judgement because of it.

Take you pills, and when you are able to control yourself and not hit the ''enter'' 5-6 times after each line, then talk to me.
