Pau Gasol vs Iggy comparison for FMVP

[sammichoffate]

Not sure if this has been posted already, wanted to know your thoughts guys :banana:

Gasol showed NBA directives the way.

After his fiasco, they realized their wrongs and started awarding FMVP to those who have most impact, regardless of name

[riseagainst]

Gasol was robbed... twice.

[bdreason]

Iggy winning Finals MVP was a team award. Same goes for Kawhi the year before. Giving the award to the defensive glue guy is like rewarding the entire team for their efforts.

[Dr Hawk]

Gasol was clearly ROBBED in 2010

Gasol was clearly ROBBED in 2010

Anyone who says this obviously did not watch the Finals. Kobe was clearly the best player in the series. Gasol had two games where he scored under 15 points and people think he is the MVP?

[dubeta]

Both were the most impactful players for their teams

Hmmm....could've swore that Kwahi was more than just a defensive glue guy for the Spurs. But whatever. I understand your point for Iggy. But I vividly recall Leonard goin in on Lebron games 3, 4 and 5 with no lube whatsoever.

[Mr. Jabbar]

As a long time Lebron STAN, it hurts me to admit Iggy was just meh. Anyone could guard Lebron in the Finals and get the FMVP.

:(

Iggy winning last year had more to do with Steph playing horribly to start the series against an Australian scrub than anything. Gasol lost his because Kobe actually did a pretty good job throughout the series in spite of his Game 7 shooting woes. Kobe did average 29/8/4 in that series. Obviously stats go much further than that, but there's no denying that Kobe played great in 2010

[kennethgriffin]

kobe 2009 playoffs = 30/5/6
kobe 2009 finals = 32/6/7
kobe 2010 playoffs = 29/6/6
kobe 2010 finals = 29/8/4

gasol 2009 finals = 18/9/2
gasol 2010 playoffs = 19/11/3
gasol 2010 finals = 18/11/4



kobe 2009 = NBA Finals MVP, 1st team all nba, 1st team all defense
kobe 2010 = NBA Finals MVP, 1st team all nba, 1st team all defense

gasol 2009 = 3rd team all nba
gasol 2010 = 3rd team all nba
