AD was clearly the MVP.
I guess it is the whole cup.
I think something was wrong
Without the great D and rebounding there is no cup win.
Yeah it wasn't based on just the 1 game - it was based on all 7 games that were played.

------------------------
All in all, I'd say LeBron had the better tournament. But going back and looking at the numbers - AD had some absolutely monster games and maybe should've deserved a little bit more consideration.
The New Orleans and Phoenix wins are what gave LeBron the edge. AD had some offensive duds.
