I'm sorry but Iggy getting finals MVP for defense is wild. He literally held LeBron to 28.6 points per game. That's not stopping anything. Curry was the most valuable player on that team, by far. That was one of the biggest highway robberies in NBA history.

Steve Kerr shot was in a Game 6, so technichally he didn't save anyone

[@Str8fromny92]

[@TayGee-mh8eo]

True. Plus it was a tie game. Kerr was wide open because the Jazz doubled MJ. Any professional should be trusted to hit a wide open jump shot from the free throw line.

[@GrantCentral-p2m]

Yeah it's was planned that way it didn't happen out of luck

[@xBlacKxScoPex]

A bad thunder team?

[@sportjames23]

I know you ain't saying Kerr saved MJ in 1997. That was a big shot, HOWEVER the game was tied. If Kerr misses, either the Bulls get the rebound and possibly score, the Jazz get the rebound and score on the next possession and possibly win, or the game goes to OT. And, add to the fact that it was Game 6, and the Bulls had a 3-2 series lead means Kerr didn't save MJ at all.

[@justamessenger4577]

1) I don’t consider Ray Allen Ron arrest Jason terry or kawhi Leonard role players. Kawhi and artest were full time starters and Allen and terry played almost 30 minutes a game in those finals. Kawhi certainly didn’t “sneak up” on anyone considering he played just as much in 2013 as he did in 2014. If you want to call some of these guys role players becasue they were primarily bench players, that’s fine. I just think they were more than role players. 2) Robert horry definitely fits the bill here! So many big shots off the bench. 😂 3) Steve Kerr and John paxson shots did not save Jordan. All those shots did was prevent a game 7 (paxson) or overtime (Kerr). These two are actually a great example of what a role players is, someone who barely plays and is called upon in specific situations. Not someone who starts every game and/or plays 30+ minutes. 4) the shot by fisher for the lakers in 2004 was a game 5, not a game 6. Not sure how that saved Kobe/shaq from anything considering they lost the finals anyway. 5) the play for Kerr did not come from a Jordan drive, it was pippen who drove and passed to grant who passed to paxson. 6) Ray Allen did not get the rebound before his 3, bosh did. I get the premise but i think saying some of these guys were role players diminishes them a bit. The last 3 things I listed are errors that should not have been made. Hard to take any video seriously with errors like those.

There's so much about this that's laughably dumb, but I didn't realize that Jordan shape-shifted into Scottie Pippin for that play, that's impressive.

[@danielgutierrez7995]

I disagree with the Ron Artest one. He was past his prime but he was not a role player just yet at that time

[@blerdbuffetpodcast8730]

LeBron missed the 3 and I think had back to back turnovers before that. Some people gave an asterik(not me) for lockout championships including 2020 and 1999. He lost to Dallas so if ra Allen misses that shot who knows how he is view. But don't get it twisted I still think the rest of his career happens the same

His detractors bring it up all the time lol. Also, he wasn’t exactly saved. His team wasn’t facing elimination. In the case of Steve Kerr, it wasn’t even a game winner (Kukoc scored on the final possession of the game), plus it was a tie game.

[@montyFR]

He did carried his team on both side way more than lebron

[@jp3813]

Because the one w/ Kerr was a play conceived & assisted by MJ in a tied situation, while the one w/ Paxson showed that all of the Bulls' points in the 4th quarter prior to that last shot were scored by MJ. Plus, both occurred when the Bulls were up 3-2 in the series.
