There has always been controversy about the value of MVP and FMVP. We are currently in the offseason, and I don’t know what kind of wind has brought this issue out again. Recently, we found that this issue has started to be debated again, and it has caused quite a stir.
For this reason, this article focuses on the "gold content" and deeply discusses the gold content of double MVPs in order to gain the recognition of most people and end the controversy on this issue in this article.
The discussion begins below.
Yes, the championship is the highest honor that basketball players dream of, and winning the championship is their ultimate dream. If you can also win FMVP on top of winning the championship, that would be perfect!
However, since FMVP is the best player of the winning team in a series, it is selected in a maximum of 7 games. This makes FMVP even more random!
OK! Here’s a bunch for you!
All of the above, one by one, were FMVPs that year. However, they did not enter any best lineup in the season when they won FMVP! Note that even the best three teams were not included!
In addition , none of the above players were the absolute bosses of the team in the playoffs that season. They were basically in the second, third, or even fourth positions. However, they relied on the finals to The outstanding performance in this series finally won the FMVP.
In other words, FMVP cannot fully represent the core player of this team when it finally reaches the top.
The logic is this. "MVP is selected in the regular season, and the playoffs are the stage to test superstars. No matter how hard you play in the regular season, if you fail in the playoffs, you can't be called a superstar at all!"
We all agree with the above points.
Using Harden as an example, we can't refute it. The Rockets were so heroic back then. They averaged 35+/36+ per game in the regular season and performed phenomenally, but in the playoffs they were always unable to lead the Rockets further.
We need to see that the Rockets met the Warriors at their peak, especially in the 16-17 and 17-18 seasons when the Rockets exploded. They happened to meet the super Warriors with the most powerful killer KD. Not to mention Harden, even James was beaten continuously in the finals?
No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that Harden did not perform as expected in the playoffs. Take Harden as an example, we also agree.
Here, we have to talk about Iguodala again.
It's because James lacked helpers in 2015 and averaged 45.8 minutes per game, which was close to the limit of his physical fitness.
In the Finals that year, Mozgov scored second with 14 points, J.R. Smith ranked third with 11.5 points, Dellavedova ranked fourth with 7.5 points, and Shumpert ranked fifth with 6.5 points.
Furthermore, what role does Iguodala play on the offensive end?
When the Cavaliers defended Iguodala, they basically chose to let it go.
In fact, including Leonard in 2014, he was also a pie-eater. The role of the younger brother next to GDP was mainly focused on defensive tasks. I still vaguely remember that when the FMVP was awarded to Leonard, there was a lot of doubt in the media.
After all, Leonard only averaged 17.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. His scoring was not as good as Parker who averaged 18 points per game, and he was not as good as Duncan, who averaged 15.4 points and 10 rebounds per game.
(1) Many FMVPs cannot even be selected for the best third team.
And all MVPs are definitely the best team;
(2) Many FMVPs are not the core of the team.
And all MVPs are the absolute core of the team;
(3) Many FMVPs were awarded due to occasional highlights in 7 games.
And the MVP was carved out one by one in 82 games;
(4) Many FMVPs have low tactical status and are left short-handed.
Which MVP did you see was obtained by eating cake?
To put it simply, for all players who have won MVP but not FMVP, the lower limit of star level is very high. The opposite is obviously much worse.
I hope this article will conclude with this controversy.
