Kobe Bryant robbed Shaq of his 4th MVP in 2004.

By not playing well or not passing?
I think Shaq would have had to score 50 ppg for the Lakers to win that series.

Dennis Johnson stole it from Gus Williams in 78 by putting up a horrific game 7, and then undeservingly won it over Gus in 79 because the media felt good that DJ redeemed himself.

Re: Naming NBA players who stole a Finals MVP from their teammate
Kobe stans are fuming right now. But keep in mind that these are simply facts. Kobe has shot-jacked his way to completely awful Finals performances pretty much every time save for 1 or 2 Finals.
In 2010 it was very arguable if Kobe was the Finals MVP. 40 FG% Finals MVP with a 6/24 Game 7? That is incredibly weak. Compare it to Finals MVPs like LeBron 2013 who finishes a team off with a monstrous 37/12/4 and the clutch game-sealing jump shot in Game 7. Very weak.

The same Lebron who had a game where he took 21 shots for 15 points iin that finals?
How many times did Pau drop 30+ in the finals like wade? How many times did the Lakers have a player other than Kobe go for 30+ and another go for 20 in the same finals game?

Yeah, let's see... what are people really going to remember, some 15-point game in a meaningless Game 3 or the 16-point 4th quarter sparking one of the all-time great 4th quarter comebacks in Game 6 and dubbed "The Headband Game" or the beastly 37/12/4 on 12/23 shooting and a Finals-clinching jumper with 26 seconds left in the deciding Game 7 to win Finals MVP?
Kobe stans always gotta reach like crazy on these comparisons. Meanwhile, what Kobe is remembered for in the 2010 Finals is his 6/24 performance in Game 7. People are always going to remember the Lakers winning IN SPITE OF Kobe's shooting woes.

Duncan 20.6 / 14.1 / 2.1 / 2.1 with anchoring the defense vs Manu 18.7 / 5.9 / 4 in '05.
It should be Manu kept Duncan from getting another Finals MVP in '13 by turning over the ball so much.
