**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[sooperhooper]

2015 Kevin love was out and Kyrie had a knee injury in the game and warriors took advantage.
2019 Kevin Durant was out and Klay had a knee injury in a game and raptors took advantage.

Same dudes who made fun of Bron shrinking in the past Finals, are the same dudes saying Finals MVPs don’t mean anything. Pick a side and stay on it, you can’t play both

 

[D StaXX]

Only idiots believe that a FMVP means more than a league MVP

FMVP (being a champion) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> League MVP.

 

[atlsfinest]

If he's out until next April, he probably won't play at all next season. Do you think the Warriors still offer him the five-year max?

 

[Christian Pulisic]

ABOVE ALL, and I can’t even believe I’m entertaining the troll thought this last time, to get finals mvp you MUST BE IN THE FINALS. On top of that 99.99% of the time you MUST WIN THE FINALS. That’s the end of that debate already

You can literally suck for every series leading up to the finals and win finals MVP if you show up for 4 games though.

82 games > 4 games.

Open your eyes.

 

[Air Pope]

Not even sure why y’all going back and forth

GS about to show their true colors now when they screw over all their players. They already can’t keep all of them for the amount they demand. Gonna be hilarious

I love how they pretend like Kawhi wasn’t carried by Vanvleet yesterday and still got the FMVP

 

[MVP]

I'm here for the Steph slander

WOOOOW thoughts wavycrocket @addict4sneakers @freeze

Can we retire TS% please? The greatest shooter of all time shot 41% from the field and 34% from 3.
I don't wanna hear NOTHING about this dude in comparison to Magic, Kobe, KD or anybody else near the top 10 all time. At this point he's DONE on that front.

Wasn't Kawhi like 5/17 or something God awful? Also like the 3rd leading scorer on his team?

He won Finals MVP by default. Sad times. Kyle Lowry was more important but the narrative for Lowry stinks.

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

Finals MVP has gone to a player on the losing team once in the history of the damn league

And these dudes wanna talk about a regular season MVP being more important

Hell, bron probably deserved the finals MVP more than iggy that 1 year.. but his team lost

Shooting efficiency he was terrible in 2015

Steph is already better than Kobe, though.

They’ve been very quiet this morning. Nothing like yesterday. Shirts were off yesterday. Today they’re neatly tucked and ironed

 

[sooperhooper]

Steph has the team on his shoulders next season.

 

[Air Pope]

In other news, pretty dope that Kawhi was the 1st to win a Finals MVP in each conference... didn’t realize that it never happened

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

FMVP (being a champion) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> League MVP.

So by that super bowl mvp > league mvp. Gotcha

Sounds about right. Disappearing in the fourth only for Fred to do his job for him

While Ayesha is on somebody else’s

 

[kilroythedon]

Who’s dummy account is this?

It’s the dude that posts the pic of Draymond laughing

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Something I've been thinking about since last night:

Was opting for a three, down 1 with 9 seconds remaining, the right decision?

Feels like they could have worked for a better look or attacked the basket and got to the line.

Get churssss off....

Imma let you have your moment.

 

[whitemamba27]

ask Karl Malone whether he'd trade his 97 MVP for MJ's FMVP that year. It's simple

 

[kilroythedon]

Ayesha want that work.

the play was terrible. Everything down to the inbound pass was awful

 

[kilroythedon]

Steph being a top 10 player?

Lol I know bench guys that hold more weight than that dude.
