If you could pick a FMVP this last year, who would you prefer?

[siraulo23]

Duncan

or

Kawhi

[apalisoc_9]

If the Spurs win out, Kawhi might be in All-NBA 3rd team though.

FMVP is far more important..Refs remember those . I doubt they remember a third team award.

[Diego20]

Manu... to have all 3 of them get one would be really cool.

[TrainOfThought5]

I changed my mind. It should be Kawhi.

Duncan missed his chance to get a FMVP in '13.

As long as the Spurs ring and as long as Enrique doesn't get it I don't care tbh.

[Knucklehead]

Duncan. He was our playoff MVP last season. Would love for him to grab another finals MVP but i wouldnt be mad if any Spur got it because thar just means #6

[milkyway21]

Too early.
I hope we are not jinxing our chances to repeat with this one.

[manufan10]

A) i'd be good with any of them, since that means we won the championship


B) if i had to choose, i'd eliminate Kyle and Parker for the following reasons:

i) Kyle is unimportant right now, and probably will have a very minimal rotational role at best next year
ii) I really want Manu to end up with one. all members of the "big 3" should have a fMVP. an argument could have been made for Gino in 05, but would love to see him go out with a bang
iii) would always be great for Duncan to pad onto his already monstrous legacy. a finals MVP at age 39 would be ing godly, and it would be his 4th
iv) Kawhi is the future of the team and is teetering on the edge of elite territory already. a young b2b finals MVP would really keep the spurs on the map

This.

As long as the Spurs ring and as long as Enrique doesn't get it I don't care tbh.

Player fans.

Because he missed the freethrows or failed to get the rebound??

Simply because he deserves it.

Here's the problem we face based on each choice:

Kawhi: He moves off the ball and gets non-scripted looks much of the time. Him being the best on the team probably means balance
Manu: Manu is a bench player who plays limited minutes. If we need him to carry us in the Finals that's not good. I'd like to see him win one, but the ramifications are just too much to bear.
Tim: If Tim wins a Finals MVP, he's signing a 2 year deal. No way he retires as Finals MVP, but what a " you" moment that would be: "Thanks, yeah I left it all out there, it's great it's great... yeah I'm gone.. peace out"
Tony Parker: 4 more years of heroball... SeaWorld 2.0, see the fat walrus bounce a ball longer than you want to.

Probably Danny green. He's kind of due for a major award and if he gets another ring and fmvp, then maybe we get the home town discount on his contract. Maybe.

Accuses other people of being player fans.

He already has a FMVP in a year in which he was arguably the third best player on the team. No need for him to get another one of those. It's cute the first time a complimentary player gets it after that it just diminishes the award. I'd rather it go to someone fresh (especially Manu) or to deserving guys who have actually carried the Spurs this year (Kawhi, Timmy).

Would have to be TP, team leader, still getting it done despite missing a hamstring and an Achilles.
