The winner
Anyway, this discussion would all be clarified if someone could find the guidelines for how they choose finals MVP. I couldn't find anything.
Which makes me think the whole award is BS and maybe we should just ignore it, especially in years where there's no clear best player.
The winner is already rewarded by winning the NBA Finals.

Maybe I am from a different era, but nothing this team ever did would have put them above the 72-10 Bulls man.
And someone also mentioned the 15-1 Playoff Lakers.
GSW had the best record of all time. They can have that.
But we don't have hypothetical machines so we can argue this forever.

Dude its a known fact the league is rigged. Look at the past history and you will see it. The way the refs call things, conspiracy theories and so forth. No matter what anyone says people will still watch. It happen in every sport.

That high percentage long range shot makes all the difference. Isaiah and Iverson were also tougher players. Maybe I should rephrase : Curry will inspire a generation of smaller, softer players.

*regular season record
We could award the team with the best preseason record of all time too.

Max Barnes ready
its over for him haha, I can understand contested 3's or people running to try to block but he is missing wide open 3's :x
this is going to feel like 18-1 if the Warriors lose, every past NBA player is just waiting to throw slander at the "best" team of all time
LeBron has so much to gain if he wins this series: copy paste from another forum I go to
first finals teams to overcome a 3-1 hole while playing 2 on the road
beating the "best" NBA team of all time
bringing a title to cLeveLand , first time in 50 years or whatever that is , people there will remember it forever
Kobe x MJ can't say that
it'll be so bad watching ESPN x the next NBA season if this happens
step it up Warriors jeez

As much as most won't say it
Steph's racial ambiguity also helps him in his marketability.
Iverson doesn't relate to all.
Isaiah didn't either.

No we should not. You probably like participation trophies.

I hate participation trophies.
The two things aren't related in any way.
Nice try though.
I am sure it will happen at some point.
This isn't something that EYE made up.
Again, JvG can articulate it much better than I can. Go listen to him on Lowe's podcast

Then we need to change the award to Most Outstanding Player or Best Performer. In the NBA, the definition of value has always included winning.
You're trying to take winning and losing out of the equation while conceding that a sweep or a 5 game series would change your argument. Why?

LeBron is gonna get Finals MVP regardless of the final outcome Sunday. This is the first we've ever heard of a player getting the MVP whether his team won or not.

The Warriors need to pull a Lebby and get their ANY MEANS ON... At this point I would even look into starting Delonte West especially since game 7 is on Father's day.

There's like 11 people media members who vote. As opposed to the 131 or so who do it for regular season. You're never going to get a consensus on criteria.

true. it is what it is and i'm sure it prevented a lot of people from connecting with Iverson. instead they probably wanted to turn to JW55 but he was still too street.
personally I find it hard to relate to cocksure silver spoon players like Curry, no matter their skin color.
