"Only 5 Point Guards won an NBA Finals MVP. Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Joe Dumars, Tony Parker and Chauncey Billups."

[RRR3]

LeBron played point guard last year. Also since when was Joe Dumars a PG?

Combo Guard. Same with jerry West. I think he led the nba in assists too.

[SouBeachTalents]

DJ & Jerry West did too

[tontoz]

LOL Dumars was never a pg. He played with Isiah Thomas.

Great player who gave MJ a tough time in the playoffs on both ends.

Lol you didn’t mention Jerry West in the OP. He won an FMVP.

Steph is probably getting close to top 10 all time but it is pretty funny that he’s probably never going to win a FMVP despite having 5 excellent chances to do so. And no he didn’t deserve it in 2015, that is revisionist history. No one thought Curry played well in that series at the time, now we have nerds quoting his stats without context years later as if people don’t remember a series from 6 years ago.

[Johnny32]

curry deserved mvp in 15. he was the warriors best offensive player and it wasn't close whether he disappointed based on expectations or not. how often has the winning teams clear best offensive player not won fmvp? it can't be much.

[Johnny32]

iggy and kawhi might be the only two times ever. both for guarding lebron lol.

Not sure if you're trying to compliment him or insult him? He has the same playoff resume as Scottie pippen

[FKAri]

You forgot Nash.

[tontoz]

You forgot Nash.


Nash never made the Finals.

[FKAri]

Nash never made the Finals.

They did in 07. And Nash won FMVP. Are you saying I imagined the whole thing?

:roll:

Not sure what game you are playing but they lost in the 2nd round to the Spurs that year.

Nash's flopping got the best of him that season. Acting like a hipcheck from Horry was equal to getting hit by a bus.

He had another chance in the 2010 west finals and Kobe destroyed him.

Defense counts too. Not everyone gets the MJ treatment. Pippen should have own FMVP in 98 like Iggy did in 2015

Steph is probably getting close to top 10 all time but it is pretty funny that he’s probably never going to win a FMVP despite having 5 excellent chances to do so. And no he didn’t deserve it in 2015, that is revisionist history. No one thought Curry played well in that series at the time, now we have nerds quoting his stats without context years later as if people don’t remember a series from 6 years ago.

We do remember the series. The media made it about Iguodala's great defense, when in reality it was Lebron chucking up terrible bricks at a high volume when fatigued in 2nd halves while Curry closed games out while putting up historic 4th quarter numbers. They were itching to give Lebron the MVP but he was so inefficient and choked at home up 2 - 1. Curry put up 37 w/ 17 points in the 4th in the most important game of the series (Game 5) that made it 3 - 2 and got no credit for it. Cavs were up 80 - 79 with 7:47 to go and Curry scored 15 of their 19 points from that point on to win the game. Does anyone remember that Iguodala missed 6 of 7 FTs in that quarter, leaving the door open for a Cavs' comeback with 2:14 to go?

And Curry was also the best player in the close-out game with 25/6/8/3 w/ 13 points in another relatively close 4th quarter, where Iggy went 2/6 from the FT line.. So Iggy was their best player in 1 out of their 4 wins and deserves MVP because Lebron had a bad shooting series? Please. You'll never see antother FMVP put up 10 less ppg with a lower GmSc than the actual best player & closer on the team.

3-1? Neither team did that during the 2015 finals.

LeBron got more FMVP votes in 2015 then Curry did in all his finals.

Completely false. Curry averaged 28 ppg to iggys 18. There's never in the history of the award to have been a bigger gap and still lost. He was also commanding half court doubles leaving dray and iggy with 4v3 half court fastbreaks all series long.

Only a troll would have iggy as better just because LeBron couldn't make jumpers in single coverage and shot like shit. Curry was by far the best producer and given the most defensive attention by a landslide on top of it.

10-4

I'm surprised 3ball isn't in here claiming MJ is a PG

This is only partially true. I agree that Iggy shouldn't have won FMVP but his presence when he started playing heavier minutes certainly spark-plugged the team, particular offensively.

His job defensively wasn't as impressive as it looked honestly. Watch any video and you can see 2 guys heavily shading toward his direction should Lebron get by him. He was allowed to play in Lebron's shirt and risk being beaten to the basket because there was a wall behind him and the Warriors didn't really have to worry about staying home on anyone else.

That was a team effort defensively.

Offensively he was huge in games 4-6 though; seemed to make a lot of clutch shots too. But not enough to overshadow what Curry did, despite the narrative.
