The NBA Finals are over, the Celtics defeated the Mavericks 4-1 on aggregate to win the 18th championship in team history, and Jaylen Brown was elected FMVP. This offseason, Tatum is eligible to re-sign an early contract extension with the Celtics to sign a five-year, $314.8 million super-max contract, which will be the largest contract in history. Tatum ranked first on the team in points, rebounds, and assists, but he did not get FMVP, and many people fought for him.

1. Brown in 2024

The Celtics defeated the Mavericks 4-1 to win the championship, and Brown won the FMVP, and the official vote was Brown with 7 votes and Tatum with 4 votes. This is the closest vote to a Finals MVP since Durant and Curry in 2018.

Brown averaged 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game while shooting 44 percent from the field, 23.5 percent from three-point range and 73.3 percent from the free throw line.

Tatum averaged 22.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 38.8% from the field and 26.3% from three-point range.

In fact, there is a historical basis for not giving Tatum the FMVP, and the FMVP with the lowest shooting percentage in the history of the Finals was Kobe Bryant in the 09-10 season, when the Lakers defeated the Celtics to win the championship in a tiebreaker. Bryant averaged 28.6 points, 8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.1 steals per game in the finals, shooting 40.5% from the field and 31.9% from three-point range.

In other words, the lowest Kobe Bryant shooting rate in history is above 40%, and Tatum is still a little far from 40%, so Tatum's fans don't have to worry about it, the Green Army lineup is so strong, Tatum still has a chance next year.

2. Jokic in 2023

The Nuggets defeated the Heat 4-1 to win the championship, and Jokic won the FMVP, and the official vote was for Jokic to get all 11 votes. There is no controversy in this edition, and Jokic deserves it.

Jokic averaged 30.2 points, 14 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 58.3 percent from the field, 42.1 percent from three-point range and 83.8 percent from the free throw line.

Murray, the team's second player, averaged 21.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal per game while shooting 45.1% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range.

3. Curry in 2022

The Warriors defeated the Celtics 4-2 to win the championship, Curry won the FMVP, and the official vote was for Curry to receive all 11 votes. There is no controversy this year, and Curry deserves it, especially in G4, which decided the trend of the series, with 43 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

Curry averaged 31.2 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 0.2 blocks per game. He shot 48.2 percent from the field, 43.7 percent from three-point range and 85.7 percent from the free throw line.

Wiggins, the team's second player, averaged 18.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 53.5% from two-point range and 27% from three-point range.

4. Brother Alphabet in 2021

The Suns began to compete for FMVP in a good situation with a 2-0 lead, but the Bucks seized the opportunity to win the championship 4-2 in four consecutive cities, and Brother Alphabet won the FMVP, and the official voting result was that Brother Alphabet won all 11 votes. There is no controversy this time, and Brother Alphabet's data is too explosive.

He averaged 35.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 61.8% from the field, 20% from three-point range and 65.9% from the free throw line.

Middleton, the team's second player, averaged 24 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game while shooting 49 percent from the field.

5. James in 2020

The Lakers defeated the Heat 4-2 to win the park championship, James won the FMVP, and the official vote was for James to get all 11 votes. There is still some controversy in this year's vote, after all, the data of thick eyebrows and James are relatively close, and thick eyebrows are very good at both offensive and defensive ends, but he did not get a single vote.

James averaged 29.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game while shooting 59.1% from the field, 41.7% from three-point range and 66.7% from the free throw line.

The team's second man, Thick Eyebrow, averaged 25.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 57.1% from the field, 42.1% from three-point range, and 93.8% from the free throw line.

6. Leonard in 2019

The Raptors defeated the Warriors 4-2 to win the championship, and the small card won the FMVP, and the official voting result was 10 votes for the small card and 1 vote for Van Jordan. There was no controversy in this session.

He averaged 28.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 43.4% from the field, 35.7% from three-point range and 90.6% from the free throw line.

This year, the small card won the championship single-core, and although Van Jordan won one vote, he only averaged 14 points per game. In fact, Siakam is the second man on the team, averaging 19.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game while shooting 50.5 percent from the field. Lowry is also averaging 16.2 points and 7.2 assists per game.

7. Durant in 2018

The Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 4-0 to win the championship, Durant won the FMVP, and the official vote result was that Durant received 7 votes and Curry received 4 votes. Curry and Durant are only 1.3 points apart, which should be the closest the team's top two in Finals history. However, Durant's performance is more stable and his shooting percentage is higher, and Curry's performance in G3 is too sluggish, so it is reasonable that he will not be able to participate in FMVP.

Durant averaged 28.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 blocks per game while shooting 52.6% from the field, 40.9% from three-point range and 96.3% from the free throw line.

Curry, the team's second player, averaged 27.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 40.2% from the field.

8. Durant in 2017

The Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 4-1 to win the championship, Durant won the FMVP, and the official vote result was Durant got all 11 votes. There is no controversy this time, and Durant is clearly superior to Curry.

Durant averaged 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1 steal and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 55.6% from the field, 47.4% from three-point range and 92.7% from the free throw line.

Curry, the team's second man, averaged 26.8 points, 8 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 3.8 turnovers per game while shooting 42.8% from the field.

9. James in 2016

The Cavaliers defeated the Warriors 4-3 to win the championship, James won the FMVP, and the official vote was for James to get all 11 votes. There was some controversy in this session, Irving and James were relatively close in stats, G5 Irving scored 41 points, and in G7 Irving made the three-pointer that went down in history. This year's FMVP actually said to Irving that he should have received at least some votes, but he didn't get a single vote, which is also the fundamental reason why the young and vigorous Irving left the Cavaliers in anger.

James averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.3 blocks per game while shooting 49.4% from the field, 37.1% from three-point range and 72.1% from the free throw line.

Irving, the team's second player, averaged 27.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.1 steals + 0.7 blocks per game, shooting 46.8% from the field and 40% from three-point range.

10. Iguodala in 2015

The Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 4-2 to win the championship, Iguodala won the FMVP, and the official voting result was that Iguodala received 7 votes, while the remaining 4 votes went to the losing side James, and Curry did not get a single vote. This is the most controversial year, Iguodala is against the sky, averaging 10 points less than Curry but getting FMVP, and the loser James actually has 4 votes, which is really the Nike League.

Iguodala averaged 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks per game while shooting 52.1 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point range and 35.7 percent from the free throw line.

Curry averaged 26.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game while shooting 45.3 percent from the field. He shot 38.5 percent from three-point range and averaged 4.2 three-pointers per game.

To sum up, Tatum is not wronged if he doesn't get the FMVP, and he can comfort himself by getting the biggest contract in history right away. And judging from the Finals MVP in the past ten years, Curry is the most wronged one. The FMVP selection in 15, 16, and 20 years is more controversial, what do you think about this?
