Basketball

There are many personal honors for players to compete in the NBA league, and the most valuable ones are undoubtedly the regular season MVP and FMVP. Anyone who can get one can be considered famous and kept in history. However, in comparison, it is more difficult to win the regular season MVP. Although the intensity of the regular season may not be as strong as the finals, due to the long season, it is very harsh for players to maintain the league's first-man level. The most important thing is that FMVP only looks at the performance of this round of the finals, so it is quite accidental. Looking at history, there have been many times when players from non-champion teams won this award. For example, the five players we have included next, they were "snatched" by their teammates at the beginning.

1. In 1980, the Magic "snatched" Jabbar's FMVP

Finals:

Jabbar averaged 33.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 4.6 blocks

The Magic averaged 21.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 2.7 steals

In 1979, the Magic was selected by the Lakers, and then he was able to join forces with Jabbar. The first season of their cooperation helped the Lakers achieve a record of 60 wins in the regular season. As the team's boss, Jabbar also won the third MVP of his career. In the playoffs, Jabbar was still the better player, and under his leadership, the Lakers also reached the Finals.

In the first five games of the finals, Jabbar averaged 30+10 data per game. Among them, when he helped the team get the G5, he scored 40 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks. At that time, as long as the Lakers win the championship, it would be a foregone conclusion that Jabbar was elected as the FMVP. But in the end, an accident occurred. Due to injury, Jabbar will miss the G6 of the series, so the outside world unanimously believes that the 76ers may be able to drag the series into the tiebreak.

However, obviously the development of things did not make the 76ers come true. The G6 Magician ushered in a big explosion. As the starting center, he scored 42 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists in the game. Therefore, the Lakers also successfully defeated their opponents with a big score of 4-2 and won the championship. The Magician was also upset to be elected FMVP with this game of Table 4.

2. In 1981, Maxwell "snatched" Bird's FMVP

Finals: Bird averaged 15.3 points, 15.3 rebounds, 7 assists, 2.3 steals

Maxwell averaged 17.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1 block

Bird, who entered the NBA in the same season as the Magic, was selected by another giant Celtics, and his arrival also brought the team to a qualitative change. In the 1979-180 regular season, the Celtics won 61 wins, while Bird, who averaged 21.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game, not only won the Best Rookie, but also was selected for the All-Star and All-Team.

Immediately afterwards, Bird successfully led the Celtics to the top of the NBA's highest podium. In the finals this year, he averaged 15+15+7 in a game, and at the same time, he averaged 2.3 steals per game on the defensive end. It can be said that his overall performance is very comprehensive. Especially in the final G6, Bird scored 27 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, but in the end, the FMVP was awarded to Maxwell, who had only 16 points in G6, and the average number of the latter in the series was obviously not as good as Bird.

3. In 1988, Worthy "snatched" the Magician's FMVP

Finals:

Magicians averaged 21.1 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals

Worthy averaged 22 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists

After Jabbar gradually declined, the Magic successfully took over his position as the leader, and under his leadership, the Lakers won the championship many times. 1988 was the last time the Magic led the Lakers to win the championship. In the finals this year, he still performed very well in his personal performance. He scored a double-double in 6 games in the entire series, but from the two sides to the tiebreak to the finals, it can be seen that the Pistons were also very strong that year. G6's star Isia Thomas was able to explode in the second half due to a serious ankle sprain, and scored 43 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in the game. Fortunately, the Magic scored 22 points, 19 assists, and Worcey scored 28 points, 4 assists, and the Lakers equalized the big score.

In the last tiebreak battle, the Magician's performance was still very stable. He played in 40 minutes, made 6 of 9 shots, contributed 19 points, 5 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals, but it was obvious that he was not the protagonist of this game. In this game, Worcy scored the highest performance in his career. On the tiebreak stage, he scored 36 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists, and he also successfully won the FMVP in 1988.

4. In 2007, Parker "robbed" Duncan's FMVP

Finals:

Duncan averaged: 18.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals, 2.3 blocks

Parker averaged: 24.5 points, 5 rebounds, 3.3 assists

After Duncan entered the league in 1997, he quickly led the Spurs to complete their rise. They won the championship three times in 8 years, and Duncan was elected as the FMVP. In 2007, the Spurs once again reached the finals. Facing the Cavaliers, everyone was optimistic that they could easily win the series. And the final fact is indeed the case. Under the Spurs' tight defense, the Cavaliers did not display their original strength at all, and in the end they were easily swept away..

As the Spurs' defensive core, Duncan naturally made considerable contributions in this round of the series. With his help, the Spurs completely restricted the Cavaliers' star James. The latter averaged 22 points and 6.8 assists in these four games, with a shooting percentage as low as 35.6%, and averaging 5.8 turnovers per game. Duncan can rank third in the series on the offensive end, and he also showed his support skills, so his average assists were second only to James in this round of series.

However, in the end, the NBA awarded FMVP to Parker. As the scoring champion in the series, he averaged 24.5 points per game and shot as high as 56.8%. It has to be said that his personal ability has indeed caused great trouble to the Cavaliers, and until the end they did not find a way to limit Parker.

5. In 2015, Iguodala "snatched" Curry's FMVP

Finals:

Curry averaged: 26 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.8 steals

Iguodala averaged: 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.3 steals

The Warriors who were still in the first round of the playoffs in 2014-2015, but they suddenly ushered in the rise. When the season was the regular season, they won the league with 67 wins, and they even reached the finals and successfully won the championship. As the star of the game, Curry is undoubtedly the best player in the Warriors, but in the end, he didn't get a single vote in the FMVP vote.

And the FMVP this year was awarded to Iguodala. If it only depends on his personal performance and offensive influence, he is obviously not as good as Curry, but the reason why he can get the FMVP is because after Cole put him in the start of the game as the "Death Five Little Little", the Warriors won three games in a row and won the championship. However, his performance in the last three games was indeed outstanding. He scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 three-pointers, 14 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 3 three-pointers, and he is also the best Warriors player to defend James.
