I personally never really cared about them TBH, at that stage it's about the team, it's just a lil extra for the best player of the winning team.

Hypothetically, Lets say we have :

Player A: 3 rings, 1 finals MVP

Player B: 2 rings, 2 finals MVP's


Id lean more towards player B on the greater than scale.

Interesting, but maybe player 1 got a lil older and accepted a lesser role, which got him one more ring than Player B. That's a winning mentality for me (assuming Player A actually had a role and wasn't just ring chasing), kind of like what Robinson did with Duncan and Duncan did with Parker.

Hypothetically, Let's say we have :

Player A: 6 rings, 2 finals MVP's

Player B: 5 rings, 2 finals MVP's

Player C: 5 rings, 3 finals MVP's

How would you grade these players?

Prolly player c....

Finals MVP's arent the end all be all of a great career..But they really help separate the great from the greatest..

The players who produced the most on the biggest stage..

it's one thing to be a sidekick throughout the postseason, have a good finals series, and sneak a finals mvp like tony parker in 07.

it's another thing to lead your team though the regular season, postseason, and the finals

kobe averaging 16 ppg shooting 37% from the field in the finals for his first ring is not the same as lebron averaging 28/10/7 shooting 47% from the field for his first ring.

Very.

It's as clutch as clutch gets, breh. Finals time. When it's the series that any young man that picks up the rock can ever hope to play in. It's time for the best to be at their best, and the rest to find theirs as well.

Finals MVP is what rewards the player that put in the most work in the most important window to get his team to the promised land :win:
