Finals MVP was really close between Tatum, Brown and Holiday

[Celticfan_N_FL]

Jaylen Brown managed to win the FMVP while averaging 20.8 ppg on .535 TS%. His triple slash was 44/23.5/73.3, a truly horrendous showing that would've been awful in early 2000s, let alone 2024. Jaylen's greatest achievement in 2024 finals was that Tatum had an even worse finals. Oh, and he was the first person to pick up Luka before getting switched off on to Tatum who got switched off on to Horford.

ROTFLOL...forever and ever

Has anyone seen the actual voting results? ECF was close with a 5-4 vote in favor of JB. Would imagine this is just as close, but with Jrue in the mix now as well.

7-4 Brown over Tatum. Chris Gasper and Doris Burke went for Tatum. I don't recall the other individual votes.

I would've given it to Tatum but I understand the argument for Brown. His performance in game 3 was probably the most pivotal point in the series that could've easily gone 2-2 going into game 5 otherwise. Doesn't really matter. I think both guys will be both much better once they get back to the Finals just because the immense pressure of getting over the hump will no longer be there.

So good to have three players with legitimate claims to the MVP.

I'm happy with the JB decision, however history will show that Tatum's passing and rebounding without KP in the court was elite.

Holiday was also incredible. His poise and defence took the J's to the next level.

I don’t really think it was that close. Only reason it didn’t go to Brad Stevens is ‘cos he’s not a player. This was a team title win if I ever saw one. But no issue it going to JB. 40% of his assists in the playoffs were handed out in the Finals. Improved his A/TO from last postseason and last Finals. Then took on Luka as his primary defensive assignment. Tatum shooting inefficiently really hurt his cause although I believe he truly doesn’t care if he won FMVP or not. This the season when all of them had the eye on prize from the jump.

Stop with those nonsense stats. Those are an aggregate of every game. Cut off game 4, a non game. So you can have a different look. We lost by 40.
Games have moments, every baskets or stops are not equal. Jaylen played better than JT in the first three games. Much better. That's the series, it was over.

JB scored when it mattered the most. Guarded Luka, put pressure on him every possession. He picked up 77 far from the basket every moment.
After game 3 JB was 54% from the floor.
Accept the reality and move on.

It's a 3pt shooting team/league and White shot 8.6 per game in the finals at 39.5%. The MVP shot 6.8 of them per game at 23.5%. Maybe White should have gotten more MVP attention.

Game 4 isn't a nongame if Tatum and Brown play better. But you are not wrong. Jaylen's stats look a lot better once you remove all the bad games he had.

Really? White and Holiday combined for 3 points in game 4.

It was a pretty awful game, I agree.

I would've given it to Tatum by a sliver, but after the idiocy of Jaylen being left off all-NBA teams, he deserved some recognition of his amazing year

Go back to the Nets forum dude, they're probably having a group therapy session you can get in on
