Would be a good story but its a media award. Right now its not clear but Parker seems to be the favorite with his beautiful display of clutch in Game 1. If Danny gets 2 more 20 pt games and continues to do a fine job on Bron then its his.
I mean, seriously?
If the award were given out at this point in time, he'd have to be the favorite to win it. The er is 16/23 from deep and seriously checking The Greatest Player in The World when matched up in the low post. Obviously, he's a scrub and won't keep it up, but gott damn this er went from dancing on the sidelines to playing in Slovenia, to dominating the NBA finals. Props to Danny Green.

Postgame was hilarious. Green walks in with this -eating grin on his face and says, "Sup?" as he sits down.

Yes absolutely, who else are you going to give it to?
Leonard would be my pick if the series ended today. While it's hard to ignore Green's offense (a couple of those 3s did come in garbage time) and good defense, Leonard has been a beast on the boards, is Lebron's primary's defender, and has just generally created havoc.
lebron only scored like 10 pts on KL so far in the series...rest from scrubs
Leonard, Kawhi
Stop thinking rationally and think like the people who give out the award. Nobody notices defense.
Loved what Green did last night, but lets be realistic, dude is a pure shooter who happened to be OPEN most of the game and very caliente....... but he's not the focus of attention. , even the old Manu Brickobili was being doubled teamed.... TD and TP draw A LOT of attention, if players like Green Neal and Leonard hit their shot, we don't need the big three to put up big numbers, but they are still the reason the spurs are successful.
if Parker could win it, i don't see why Green couldn't tbh
This would be a great story, being cut twice, D-League..
Dancing with GPOTP, dancing on his legacy
Danny cannot win the MVP. Lebron will win the Finals MVP. Players on losing teams don't win the MVP since West won it. Even if the Spurs somehow found a way to win, Danny wouldn't win the MVP. It would go to Tim or Tony. Even ESPN gave Tim most of the credit for the win last night, already setting up the scenario for a "wtf" when the give him the trophy.
Danny with a Finals MVP would be a disaster for the league. It would mean that stars don't matter, and that's counterproductive for a star fueled league.
Well, Tony won in 2007...
Pretty much agree with this. It'd be one thing if Leonard had Green's numbers. Then the NBA could market a new star. But Green is a little too old to market as a rising player, and he's not likely to get so much better than he gets true star production. I expect whomever out of Parker and Duncan play the best going forward to get the MVP if the Spurs win the series.
For him to absolutely deserve it he'll need at least one more big game, for them to bother awarding it to him he'll need two. If he has another big game in this series Spoelstra should be fired. If Danny Green has two then the people of Miami need to beat Spoelstra in the street with sacks of plantains and coke. (Or whatever it is that they have in their homes. Those are just the two obvious ones that jumped to mind.)
In 2005 Manu could have won it but it was given to Tim because Manu wasn't a "star" at the time.
Right, even though it was still very much Tim's team in 2007, Tony won the Finals MVP because the series was such a blowout. Just like last night, we didn't need 25-15 games from Tim in order to win. Tony played well, but he was the beneficiary of a blowout series. At this point, I'd say Kawhi should win it. But it's more likely they'll give it to Tim. I agree with the theory that the NBA would prefer that a star win the Finals MVP. David Stern would be rollin over in his grave if Danny Green won it.
If the Spurs win, they should give it to T-Mac, tbh
If he keeps shooting the way he has, I don't see why not?
fail
I'd take Kawhi so far, but Duncan/Green are not a bad option. long way to go.
checking him in the low post
anyone can check anybody in the low post, if you have 2 other defenders (one of them always being a 7 footer) waiting to crash on him the second he makes a move.
all green has done is do an effective job of triple teaming lebron. woo hoo
Is this the beginning of a "Greensanity"?!
the 04' pistons didn't have no star so they had to pick a more glossy one from a bag of rocks imhofail
I'd take Kawhi so far, but Duncan/Green are not a bad option. long way to go.
