Does it mean YOU weren't valuable enough or does it mean the TEAM wasn't valuable enough.
Losing a game doesn't mean Team A's MVP didn't outplay Team B's MVP. So I would re-think the, "You weren't valuable enough" logic.
re: Losers winning MVP of Finals series
Honestly, the way it has traditionally been is the main reason why we would be reluctant to look at it differently.
I look at the MVP of the series as the Top Performer of the series. Someone can be the Top Performer and their team not win the series. Especially if it goes 7 games. If it goes 5 games or 4. Nah, I couldn't co-sign that happening.
But a series going 7 games, I could easily see the best player being on a losing team.
Van Gundy and Lowe spoke on this topic on the last podcast. I suggest people give it a listen

Jeff Van Gundy Zach talks to Jeff Van Gundy about Draymond Green's suspension, what might happen in Game 6 of the Finals, and more.

Curry isn't getting suspended. The worst he gets (and probably will get) is a fine.

The NBA doesn't NEED Curry, but it surely benefits from having him around.
He is an "ordinary dude" that the common man can relate to. So, you are severely underestimating his appeal

I mean pretty much
Haslem got a game in the playoffs for doing the same thing during the first title year in '06
This is the NBA though,we all know what it is when it comes to stars
It's not just the NBA. In every sport the elite have special treatment. They are the ones that bring in the lion's share of the revenue. It may not be fair but every athlete has the chance to distinguish themselves either as an amateur or a pro.

Man, all of you dudes talking about, "We know how the NBA is with their Stars."
If YOU were a shot caller, you would do the same damn thing.
So stop it man.

And if they didn't at first, they'd "learn" to. That's just the nature of it.

He is pretty small for an elite NBA player so he will definitely inspire a whole generation of guys who thought they're too small for the NBA to work hard. MJ and Lebron have inspired a lot of kids but realistically if you're not at least 6'6", you got no chance of performing like them especially with the flashy dunks.

my biggest criticism of lebron is that he waits too long to put "lebron face" on. he had a golden opportunity in game 4 and he didnt show up.
but he's here now...and with no rim protection and maybe a gimpy iggy...

Very good points. I'm sure people's mental blocks will prevent them from being able to understand your logic, but I agree with it completely.
We like the best player to be on the winning team because it fits our fairy tale vision of the world, that the top guy leads his side to victory. And it fits this other stubborn view that an athlete sucks if he doesn't win the championship.

In every other situation, both those guys cosign rewarding winners. MVP, All Star, All NBA, COTY, 6th Man, etc. Don't know what it is about LBJ that makes them flip flop. Everyone's definition is different but MVP has never been a "top performer" award.

Folks underestimate his talent just like most will never be LeBron they will never be Steph either.

The MVP award for the Finals SERIES is a "Top Performers" award.
If it isn't, please tell me what it is.

legit question if you lost in the finals and didnt win a ring, would you honestly even want to accept the finals mvp?

If your #1 membership consultant is late for work by 10 minutes every day, you are more likely to tolerate that than if your worst consultant did it.
The better you are, the longer your leash.

He's not new at that though.
Isiah, Iverson, etc. were all insanely athletic and scored a lot and won either Finals MVP or regular season MVP. And both were shorter than Steph.
What Curry has added is a higher percentage long-range shot.
Unless you are the ultimate bandwagoner and only watch the top team, you would get exposed to plenty of elite and insanely athletic small players over the years.
