^^^ 35 of the 45 titles in the history of 3-pointer basketball were won by teams led by expert jumpshooters or fundamental bigs..

Unlike ball-dominators or "down-hill" players that impose spot-up roles (not 5-man basketball), the skillsets of fundamental bigs or expert jumpshooters allow the ball to move, which allows the development of great chemistry and a great-performing cast, aka great team.

Btw, it isn't coincidence that the goats of basketball combined the best of both worlds, aka expert jumpshooting and fundamental post game = Bird or MJ (and his clone Kobe).. These are my top 3 all-time.

Please, people, don't think because he says Tatum is an expert jump shooter that it's actually true. He is not an expert jump shooter whatsoever in the playoffs. It's the worst part of his offensive game in all fairness.

[Wardell Curry]

2002 - Kobe

LOL. is this even serious.

The amount of disrespect Shaq and his 3 dominant FMVPs run get is disguising.

2010 - Gasol

Gasol should've been the FMVP here.

[sd3035]

Did you include Ordan in the expert shooters?

[highwhey]

thats a long ass list just to take a shot at lebron

[ImKobe]

Gasol should've been the FMVP here.

Why? Kobe averaged 10 more points & only 3 less rebounds and Gasol only shot 3% higher TS. Kobe was the better player in 3 of the 4 wins, Gasol was terrible in those B2B losses at Boston which made them go down 2 - 3 in the series. Gasol only shot 6% higher TS in that Game 7 while Kobe got grilled for shooting 6/24 FG but no one mentions Gasol shooting 6/16 & missing 6 of his 13 FTs in a game that they almost lost.

The Boston media really brainwashed y'all mfers.
