Steph Curry has three NBA titles & two regular-season MVP trophies but zero Finals MVPs. Kevin Durant took the honor in both 2017 (unanimously) and 2018 (with 7️⃣ votes, to Curry’s 4️⃣). Do voters regret their decision in 2015? HowardBeck explores
We asked everyone the same basic questions for this piece, either by email or in person. The answers from eight of the 11 are below. Brown politely declined to participate, feeling that the choice was made and there was no point in revisiting it. Spears provided one statement via email, which is included below. I won’t quote myself here, but suffice to say that I stand by my vote for James, for many of the reasons laid out by my colleagues.
Interviews were conducted between Games 1 and 2. The responses have been edited for length and clarity.Bob Donnan/USA TODAY SportsVery seriously. Those Warriors revolved around Steph and frankly they still do. But I ultimately went with Iguodala, becausewhen he became a starter. People forget he scored 25 points in the clinching Game 6 win.
But you have to make those shots. Iguodala is also a wickedly creative passer in the half-court and in transition. Kerr introducing him into the starting five changed that series, and really kinda changed basketball. He defended LeBron well enough that the Warriors didn’t have to send too much help. I mean, we are talking about peak LeBron getting the ball every single time because of injuries to Irving and Love. You are going to give up numbers to that guy.
That said, Steph was the engine, and his ability to manufacture open looks as the fulcrum of Golden State’s offense is why I would have voted him over Iguodala.LeBron scored 123 points in three games with Iguodala coming off the bench, and 92 points in the three games Iggy started. For me, that’s when the pendulum shifted from LeBron to Iguodala.I am intimately familiar with this argument, because I used this exact reasoning as the only voter for Tim Duncan for Finals MVP at the 2007 Finals.
