Manu deserves it imo
2005 NBA Finals
Manu Ginobili - 18.7 ppg on 63.6 TS%, 5.9 rpg, 4.0 apg
Tim Duncan - 20.6 ppg on 47.1 TS%, 14.1 rpg, 2.1 apg
Tbh,imho, no one cares about your opinion.
im just putting it out there, not saying that you have to care
How did the Lakeshow do that year?
im just putting it out there

How many games Kobe missed?
Who did they play in the 1st round? I can't remember, tbh.
Kobe missed 16 games
Odom missed 18 games
Mihm (starting Center) missed 7 games
Butler missed 5 games

Ginobili was undoubtedly the Spurs best offensive player during the series, and arguably their most impactful all-around player..claiming he should have been awarded the Finals MVP isn't far-fetched at all..
You could make a similar argument that Pau Gasol deserved the 2010 Finals MVP, although the argument would not be as strong, obviously..
Considering Kobe's shooting, an argument for Gasol as 2010 Finals MVP is absolutely credible.
That's funny. Duncan also missed 16 games that season.
Who did the Lakeshow play in the 1st round? I can't remember, tbh.
Yeah I agree
2010 NBA Finals
Kobe Bryant - 28.6 ppg on 52.8 TS%, 8.0 rpg, 3.9 apg
Pau Gasol - 18.6 ppg on 55.6 TS%, 11.6 rpg, 3.7 apg
Pau has a case, considering the amount of assists he has compared to Kobe is impressive, but the 10 ppg difference is too much
lol like you dont already know
Who did they play? lol
they played the spurs..didnt u watch
lol
Certainly not the the Spurs... Spurs played Nuggets, Sonics, Suns, Pistons.
So how Kobe did in the 1st round? Who did your team play against?
crofl
blocks
manu - 0
duncan - 2.1
steals
manu - 1.3
duncan - 0.4
what the f?
kobe - 5 rings
spurs - 4 rings
why you talking?
Thats great. In all honesety yeah he could have won it I would not over it, but either was a choice nobody could really over. Manu was mad nice in those finals though, but how much of that lane was due to Tim being doubled or draped all over? He did more than just score. He outscored and rebounded both Wallaces in the first two games, and thats real.
the vote was 6-4 for duncan to be the MVP IIRC
Who are the F? Is that who the Lakeshow play in the 1st round back then?
I'm just putting it out there, you don't have to care, tbh
Are you kidding me? If Duncan even puts up comparable offensive numbers, he automatically wins this debate, which he did. Manu does not even come close to sniffing Duncan's defensive impact.
The only knock on Tim is him missing that putback in Game 5 which set the stage for Horry rapingPERIOD. He may have shot 47% (lol TS%?) but remember he had the best post defender and tandem in the league smothering him
People are also forgetting Duncan was playing on 2 bad ankles and still put up those numbers.
