I was mostly being facetious. Though that did make me ruminate on the extraordinarily rare occurrence of FMVP going to a player on the losing team. Which in turn made me look up the one time that happened with Jerry West and...dang. G1: 53pt 10ast 3rb 51% shooting G2: 41pt 8ast 3rb 54% shooting G3: 24pt 6as 1rb 37% shooting G4: 40pt 4ast 6rb 50% shooting G5: 39pt 9ast 3rb 51% shooting G6: 26pt 3ast 4rb 47% shooting G7: 42pt 12ast 13rb 48% shooting Series average: 37.9pt 7.4ast 4.7rb 49% shooting And for the record, he suffered a hamstring injury in game 5 that didn't heal fully until after the series and was limping throughout game 6 and the stellar game 7. It's easy to forget how much of a monster Jerry could be in the postseason and that he still holds more than one record for playoff performances. |
Well LeBron James should have been the second player on a loosing team to the finals MVP in 2015 the only reason it didn't happen is because it didn't go seven games but in the six games he averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists and he only had Kyrie Irving for one game and Kevin Love missed the entire series.
