NBA Finals MVP....so far

jjgold · 06-12-15, 08:27 AM

Iggy is the best player on GSW

He has been a great player for a long time

baseballstud · 06-12-15, 08:53 AM

Yah I feel like nobody talked about him until today. It's refreshing to think a person other than curry or lebron has a chance

JameisBrady · 06-12-15, 08:53 AM

It will end up being LeBron because he is gonna go off on Sunday.

jjgold · 06-12-15, 09:01 AM

Cleve has zero shot on Sunday and I mean zero

If they play well they lose by 10

Extra day of rest helps the Cavs tremendously.

If Cavs win, Lebron is MVP.

If GS wins, it could go to whoever rises up in game 6/7, Steph? Klay? Andre? Draymond? If nobody really steps up and they win as a team with bench production and team defense, they probably just hand it to Steph by default. But I keep rolling around the possibility that Lebron could get the MVP in a losing effort if he books another 40/10/10 type game in a heroic losing effort in game 7.

Klay has zero shot and I mean zero

CWD · 06-12-15, 10:24 AM

stephanie has yet to show up but not out of it. klay not out of it either.

everyone talking about the "brilliant" move starting iggy so you have that.

its really up for grabs for any warrior that stands out, maybe now that cleve is dead stephanie will rock out since the pressure is off, crazy as that sounds since its just 2-2.

nanderson1134 · 06-12-15, 10:52 AM

King James without a doubt. the fact is the moment he goes off the court you can see how crappy the Cavs play without him. regardless what anyone says the reality is Cavs would win this series if they were healthy

jjgold · 06-12-15, 11:06 AM

series over without Iggy men

its 4-0 cleve

MoMoneyMoVaughn · 06-12-15, 11:50 AM

Iggy is the most underrated player in all of basketball in my opinion.

Could (and maybe should) start on most other teams in the league. He is elite defender. Can knock down open 3s and has the athletic ability to get to the rim and finish.

jjgold · 06-12-15, 11:56 AM

I did not realize how good this guy still is and has tremendous leeping abilities still ...he is the most dangerous player on that team

lupe · 06-12-15, 12:00 PM

Is Iggy good value at +600?

no way, this thread out of hand now slurping him waaaaay too much

curry or klay gets hot next 2 games its theirs, if lebron goes off and nobody on Ws shines its his imo

You can get not(Lebron/Steph) +520 @5Dimes. Much better value, basically getting the whole field, not just Iggy.

Jeffie · 06-12-15, 12:47 PM

Even tho steph has been atrocious one 30 point game and it's probably his which sucks. I'm thinking Klay Thompson has a couple huge games and takes the MVP.

CWD · 06-12-15, 12:57 PM

^^^ spot on

Mac4Lyfe · 06-12-15, 01:01 PM

No way in hell will they give the MVP to a player on the losing team. Even if Lebron played 1 on 5, they're not going to do it.

There is a precedent for it. Jerry west

I discussed this in depth a few days ago in some other thread.

This was the first ever NBA finals MVP award, and the lakers lost by 2 in game 7.

The nature of the award has changed since then.

jjgold · 06-12-15, 01:33 PM

James can only win if he has a couple more spectacular games even if they lose the series

Who's to say the cavs don't lose in similar fashion and Lebron is still the clearcut best performer?

Allure · 06-12-15, 01:44 PM

Iggy has one good game and some guys consider him an Mvp candidate.

Same guys probably had Della for Mvp

As of right now it's easily LeBron, if curry somehow gets his shit together in the upcoming games, maybe him

This is true, I just think the fact it happened the first time and never since may mean they do not do it anymore. I am going to do some research on the subject right now and see if I can dig up whether or not a clear cut best performer has not won the award when they truly deserved it.

MoMoneyMoVaughn · 06-12-15, 01:54 PM

Iggy has played very well all series. He has been GS's most consistently good payer on both sides of the ball.

MoMoneyMoVaughn · 06-12-15, 02:00 PM

Wes Unseld won the award in 1978 and wasn't even close to the best player on his own team... wtf?

He was bested in every single stat by someone on his team. Averages 9/11/4 over 7 games...

nyplayer33 · 06-12-15, 03:40 PM

curry will get it wont be..how does a star of the team not get nba mvp and series mvp

Except in game 3 when I bet over 7.5 points on him and he only scored 7. That alone should take him out of the MVP conversation.

Happens in the super bowl all the time. The best performer better play on the winning team. Thurman Thomas was a monster in the Bills/Giants super bowl. A lock to win MVP until that kick sailed wide right. Next thing I know its OJ Anderson.

smitch124 · 06-12-15, 07:00 PM

Well James was the obvious MVP for the regular season, if he didn't win that I have a hard time seeing him winnings Finals MVP if they lose.

jjgold · 06-12-15, 07:06 PM

Anybody that says Clay Thompson doesn't even Watch the games

Yeah agreed JJ because there isn't an NBA player named "clay" Thompson.

baseballstud · 06-12-15, 08:57 PM

Well apparently 5Dimes thinks MVP could come from losing team. Before finals it was +5000. Now it's +740
As for value of IGGy. He's at +490.
Everyone but lebron and curry is 450. IGGy has no value compared to that
