i dont think Duncan will win Finals MVP

Here's the deal - this is going to be the first time in history the Finals MVP is based on the amount of flopping by South American players.

So, whoever among Oberto, Manu, and Varejao flops their team to victory will win MVP.

Flopping is obviously a skill, since Nash flopped his team completely out of contention...

He didn't flop the contact... he only sold the illusion that he was hurt.

Not unlike when Manu got Fisher ejected.

Yes. But TIM DUNCAN> LeBron James, Gooden, Ilgauskas, Marshall, Varejao together!

tim duncan > nba..... tim duncan is the super guy..... he is the best there is.... he is better than MJ..... than bird..... than magic....

Nash flopped on the Bowen nut kick which got everyone that was already fuming about the Amare flat tire in a tizzy. When Nash flolloped into the scorer's table and threw his arms and legs out, it made everyone react. Raja created the altercation, and Amare and Diaw did the rest. Hey, at least you have an excuse for your team losing, right?

BTW, Fish didn't get the technical for the foul, he got it for standing over Manu afterward. Horry turned and walked away from Nash. Fisher got himself ejected by committing his sixth foul.

i think it will actually be Ginobli, who will have a huge series. Gooden is very good defensively and Ilgauskas is 7,3'. plus the double teams will come so i dont think Duncan will dominate this series. if Manu wins the Finals MVP you heard it here first.

I saw the le of this thread and though WHAT??!?
Then i read it. You could be right. They will end up double teaming Timmy I think and either Manu or TP will have an easier time., depending on who they pull double teamer off of.

Are we making stuff up now?

I'll be rooting for Tim to win the Finals MVP for one reason: the list of players who have more than 3 Finals MVPs right now looks like this.

1.) Michael Jordan

And that's it. But the next Finals MVP for Timmy would be his 4th. If Tim retires as one of the only 2 players on that list, then people will be able to talk about him as the 2nd greatest player ever. (In fairness, Bill Russell would have possibly won more than Jordan if the award was around back then.)

TP or Manu for Finals MVP... than it would be the first foreigner to win the award, right?

I'm one of the biggest Manu fans on the planet (at least non-Argentine division) and I'm telling you if you think Duncan isn't winning the Finals MVP, YOU ARE CRAZY. If Manu didn't win it in '05, he's never gonna win it.
