MVP + Finals MVP in the same season..

[Malik Hairston]

The greatest feat you can accomplish in the NBA, tbh..

- LeBron
- Duncan
- Shaq
- Dad Killer
- Hakeem
- Magic
- Bird
- Moses Malone
- Jabbar




- Steph Curry:wow:wow

[DAF86]

LOL... fucking overrated chucker

[midnightpulp]

Props to Curry. Going wire to wire as the NBA's best player is something only true all-time greats can accomplish, as the list proves, since all of those players with the exception of maybe Malone would feature on any reasonable top 10 list.

Also have to consider Russell and Chamberlain would have each accomplished it if the award had been present in their time, too..

Curry will also likely reach the rarefied air of maintaining a 10+ BPM over a championship run. Something only 4 players have done.

Is he top 10 all-time, or is it too early?

One or two more rings, imho.

The 2nd best player on his team had around a 17 PER, too, only 94 Olajuwon had a worse 2nd option..

[MI21]

I don't particular enjoy watching Steph Curry but you just can not argue with this season. Absolute all time great performance tbh

Way too early. Curry hasn't been a good two-way player for very long.

[Infinite_limit]

LOL

2nd best player on his own team in the Finals.

This was one funky injury filled 2015 season. That is what I'll remember

[DAF86]

They gave it to Iguodala :lmao

[resistanze]

:lmao

[Robz4000]

:lmao Iggy got it

[lefty]

Lol PHAGGOTS

Iggy is FMVP

[Arcadian]

:lol nope...

good to see the nba and fans recognizing good play on both sides of the ball

[daslicer]

Iggy deserved it he was the game changer in this series.

[Infinite_limit]

Toni Kukoc getting Finals MVP

Top 5 PG of the past decade. Nothing more

[whitemamba]

:lolP

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Steph is pissed

[Malik Hairston]

Wow giving it to a bench player that can't even create his own shot:lmao:lmao

Curry shouldn't even be happy about winning the title anymore IMO..way to cheapen everything..

[TampaDude]

:lmao

[DAF86]

Damn, Curry got fucked out of a historic accomplishment, tbh.

[lefty]

90s player wins FMVP

[ducks]

He started then gs won most consistent player for gs this series

[webshad]

They gave it to Iguodala :lmao

YEAH! hahaahahah loooooool

NBA just screwed CURRY lol

[ducks]

Iggy deserved it he was the game changer in this series.

[Strange Love]

I thought Curry deserved it more though.

[jeebus]

90s player wins FMVP

:lmao harlem has been getting shit on all night and it's not stopping, this time with the media squirting their diarrhea all over his chest

[ducks]

I thought Curry deserved it more though.

He got out played bad in those losses

[DAF86]

Way to put some bitter on this sweet moment for Curry NBA, well done sons. :lol

[HI-FI]

While I think Harlem overrates Curry, no doubt that winning MVP and Finals MVP in the same season is the mark of being the leader/alpha of your team.

[FkLA]

Damn pretty shocking that they gave it to Iggy. Curry wasn't great but he still put up 26 ppg and was a solid playmaker in the series.

[CitizenDwayne]

The right man won.

[Malik Hairston]

Iguodala may have created like 2 shots the entire series, tbh:lol..

Their entire offense is Curry getting doubled/trapped and creating a 4 on 3..he shouldn't even celebrate, not surprised he seemed a little annoyed..

[resistanze]

:lmao Curry probably swallowed his mouth guard

[Malik Hairston]

90s player wins FMVP

Iguodala was drafted in 2004:lol..

[Mugen]

[FkLA]

tbf Curry didn't deserve it either, LeGOAT was the real FMVP

[Mikeanaro]

Outplayed by a 3rd stringer...thats not very FMVP and his whole ¨THE BALL IS A HOT BRICK¨ philosophy would set a very bad example for the kids who want to play good ball.

[midnightpulp]

:lol I don't like Curry and it's funny to see him shafted, but this makes absolutely zero sense. I think this might be a case of NBA writers being too New Media, since I'm sure Iggy's defensive and on/off metrics were superb, but even then, they'd likely still be below Curry's.

[resistanze]

Not too mad...Curry did a lot of damage (stats-wise) in front-runner moments...you don't let a bench player steal the shine like Iggy did this series when it was 2-1 Cavs.

[HI-FI]

[timtonymanu]

Damn it, that could have been Danny Green in 2013. :lol

[monosylab1k]

Giving it to Iggy over Curry is basically a roundabout way of giving it to LeBron.

[Malik Hairston]

They really need to change the award to Playoffs MVP, tbh:lol..

[daslicer]

Interesting trend the last two Final's mvps did were not all-stars in the year they won the award. I wonder if this streak will continue next year.

[StrengthAndHonor]

:lmao @ OP blowing his load early again

[ducks]

Not sure on final numbers but:

Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer
Andre Iguodala took the Finals MVP with a 7-4 vote over LeBron James. No votes for Stephen Curry.

[mystargtr34]

They really need to change the award to Playoffs MVP, tbh:lol..

Exactly.. its long overdue. Giving a Finals MVP award to scrub like Iguodala just cheapens the award.

[webshad]

tbf Curry didn't deserve it either, LeGOAT was the real FMVP

yeah man, he fought his heart out

imagine they actually called out Lebron from the locker room LOOOL

[Clipper Nation]

They really need to change the award to Playoffs MVP, tbh:lol..

That's how hockey does it. Of course, this year, it'd be a J.S. Giguère situation with LeBron winning it, and fans would get butthurt.

[FkLA]

Exactly.. its long overdue. Giving a Finals MVP award to scrub like Iguodala just cheapens the award.

Or giving it to a guy like Enrique over Timothy Duncan.

[spurraider21]

coulda gone either way tbh... i wasnt that surprised. curry is obviously their best player, but iggy stepped up and was a difference maker. the same reason why i think green woulda won FMVP if we won in '13

Apparently they polled the voters after game 6 and Duncan would have won it IIRC

[spurraider21]

voters and their short term memory tbh... duncan was only great in games 1 and 6 to that point, while green was big in each of the first 5 games

[Amarelooms]

Guy who can't shoot ft for shit. Went 2-13 or something wins MVP? That's bs sons

- Steph Curry:wow:wow
Just like I said in another thread, only the greatest players deserve to bag double honors (MVP and FMVP) in the same season. Curry had a great season and great finals series, and he's definitely more deserving of it than Iggy, but the league intentionally snubbed him because they think he's still one or two tiers below the likes of Duncan and Lebron imho.

Disagree on Curry having GREAT finals

[UZER]

Of all the series not to use the hack-a strategy...get in his head, break his rhythm, disrupt the GSW offense, rest Lebron in game while the freethrows are shot, make Kerr take him out. Dude was killing the cavs on both sides of the floor.

[lefty]

Iguodala was drafted in 2004:lol..
I meant 90s type player

[crc21209]

Curry maybe should have won it, but I dont mind Iggy winning it. He was the most consistent player on both sides of the ball.

no agenda... iggy just more important all around in the whole series compared to curry.

Curry game 1: 10 for 20fg
game 2: 5 for 23fg

[TDMVPDPOY]

iggy winning fmvp

and yet fkn clowns think draymond shouldve won dpoy...dude was nowhere to be seen in this series

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol currys face not winning fmvp, just like that other pos last seasons finals

[unleashbaynes]

:lmao

Fuck Curry.....all he does is shoot terrible fucking shots(half of which go in) while his team bails him out on defense. That roster is fucking loaded and they didn't play a healthy, solid team at any point in the playoffs. And iguodala hit all the big shots in all the big moments in the finals while playing defense as well. Good shit, tbh....

[AlexJones]

Curry game 1: 10 for 20fg
game 2: 5 for 23fg

game 6: 8 for 19fg

You forgot .388 3PT and .885 FT. Batting averages aren't be-all end-all.

[K...]

I'm fine with iggy,

One LeBron is the true mvp but having him win mvp would be insulting, being dragged out during celebration would be so beta.

If it was a new player like Anthony Davis then I'd say let him win fmvp as a loser if he deserves it. LeBron doesn't need these half awards though. Having a new player win it is good for the league. Having LeBron highlight his bad finals record is dumb..

Similarly curry won the mvp but played poorly by his own standards in the finals. He's a victim of his own success and of being compared to LeBron.

Awarding it to iggy is close to awarding it for team.

The award to iggy can also be seen as a lifetime achievement award. The guy paid his dues but got stuck in crap Philly during his prime.


Finally,, for those who want a playoffs mvp, I disagree. It cheapens the regular mvp. It could highlight a loser like LeBron who is clearly the mvp but was slacking during the season. Do we want to reward slackers like that?

To me fmvp is a shit award. Seems to me player fans want it to stand for more because of a certain player and another certain player.

[InRareForm]

True but it's not like he did anything on the defense end

Disagree. Iggy played point forward for a good stretch of the series. His defense is largely responsible for LeBron's inefficiency. Against most other guys LeBron goes for 50+ with that historic usage rate.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

LOL

2nd best player on his own team in the Finals.

This was one funky injury filled 2015 season. That is what I'll remember

Let's run down the list of player injured at the end of the season or in the playoffs that do make a major impact for their team: Gasol, Conley, Beverly, Durant, Parker, and Paul

OKC didn't make the playoffs because of Durant's injury.

GSW benefited from the Beverly (yes, he is top 5 defensive PG in the league) being out and Conley's injury worsening during the Grizz series and Gasol getting injured as well. GSW would have lost to Memphis otherwise.

GS benefits from Varajeo and Irving being out as well for the Cavs.

GS had injury draw on their side for sure during this run. No way is it going to be like this next year for them.

[TDfan2007]

Iguodala's entire offense plays off Curry getting doubled and tripled, tbh..

His scoring is primarily dependent on curry, yes, but to his credit he knocked the shots down, was a great playmaker, and defended Lebron as well as humanly possible. He was their best overall player in the series, but Curry is obviously the playoff MVP. Same happened to Timmy in 2007 and 2015. Hell Timmy probably should've gotten it in 2007 regardless.

[ducks]

Iguodala's o comes from curry
just like green comes from point guard or someone else setting him up

[TDMVPDPOY]

Iguodala's o comes from curry

without iggy taking on lebron defensive duties

where would curry lead his t eam in the finals to?
