Mike&Mike were talking about this possibility this morning.
Lebron James could win finals MVP even if Cavs lose

Greenberg says that LBJ could be the Finals MVP even if GS wins by game 5. As long as the games are as close as first two games and as long as LBJ plays like he has in the first two games.

Golic says that it will only be possible if it went to the 7th game.

Thoughts?

My thought is that he should be.


He CLEARLY is the best and most valuable player in The Finals.



But ... if they open it up to Fan Voting ... then JR Smith will likely win.

Are we assuming that Curry keeps shitting the bed? If so, then yes he could

If Golic said it, it surely won't happen. These guys seem to only talk hypothetical about everything and it's ridiculous.

Only possible IMO if it goes 7 and All of GS's wins come from big contributions from different players each time.

Even If Lebron's stat line shits all over Curry's or Klay's, if one of those two are the leading scorer in 2 or 3 GS wins then they will get it.



Trivia break: Anyone know the last time this happened?

Hell no, YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME. You don't win no way you should win MVP.

West went 38 / 4.7 / 7.4

The best Celtics player was Havilcek who went 28.3 / 11 / 4.4


West also played through injury in the last 3 games of the series.

Well, to be honest, they've only played 2 games. If Curry goes off in in 3 more games like he's capable, and they win, no doubt he gets the MVP.

Sure ... or, if Klay Thompson has 3 monster games.


But you have to figure that LBJs statline will continue to be pretty good.
