Iggy or Curry? Who should have won MVP?

Iggy

Iggy was great, played good defense on LeBron; played a really solid, fundamentally sound Finals series and produced, quite frankly, eye-popping numbers from a scoring standpoint in two of the games. To give him the MVP trophy over Curry is asinine. How much effort and game planning was designed to slow down IGGY or prevent him from destroying the Cleveland defense? Iggy was the beneficiary of a defense planned, executed, and designed to slow Curry, and only Curry. I've watched basketball for 25+ years and I'm not sure I've ever seen someone shoot that many threes with no one in the same county. Granted, he did hit a couple of tough shots over the course of the series, but mostly he had layups/dunks, and open threes. Lebron produced great overall numbers, but anyone that controls the ball like he did, should. He was extremely inefficient, and in many instances his defense/effort was deplorable. CURRY should have been the MVP.
 
No one would have been surprised if Curry would have won the MVP. Some were surprised that Iggy got the award. EVERYONE would have been surprised if Lebron would have won the thing!
 
Curry
 
Iggy gets the edge because he was the only guy who could guard LeBron, and he did a fantastic job. Just look at LeBron's shooting percentage.
 
LeBron is the only player EVER to lead both teams in PPG, RPG, and APG.

Iggy is one of if not the weakest Finals MVP's in the past 30 years.

If you have to give it to the winning team, give it to Steph.

They should just rename the award to, dude who can guard LeBron better than anyone on the team and they won.

Has anyone ever won MVP, won the Championship that same year, and then NOT win Finals MVP?

Probably but I'm sure it's rare.

The last two finals mvps were players that will definitely never win another one that's for sure.
 
It's called most valuable player. Here, I'll put it quotation marks, "most valuable player."

Who was the most valuable player in the 2015 NBA finals?

Answer: LeBron James

Not hard.
