Game 5 was a classic. Steph went shot for shot with the King.

[@BallisticStormstreaming]

watching this makes it so clear steph should’ve won fmvp. every game the dubs won lebron was talking about how steph turned it on in the fourth and they couldn’t answer for it.

[@mateoa7675]

facts

[@ajmulenga2532]

Facts. Idk why they gave it Iggy of all people

[@longlivetheblackmamba2-8-24]

The reason Iggy won was cuz they gave half the votes to LeBron they didn’t want him to win it so they just gave it to Iggy with LeBron not legit averaging 40

[@SM-1-6]

Curry was such a beast this series. He was robbed out of finals MVP HARDCORE. He was absolutely unbelievable in game 1,4,5 and 6

[@undertakerblaise256]

@NBA Instagram that's the media bro. I bet if lebron had those numbers (he had better numbers, I know) and his team won, bron would've been MVP. And you know it.

@El Dio Which NBA rules says That Free Agent Kevin Durant joining the Warriors is a weak move

@El Dio Even with a healthy Kyrie and Kevin Love the Warriors were still up 3-1 in the 2016 NBA Finals until lebron got Draymond green suspended

Same goes for the warriors and KD wym?

[@BrianSmith1993]

And Kyrie gets his own shot whenever he wants or needs, but yes he can play off ball

[@BrianSmith1993]

Warriors not beating a healthy Cavs without KD I'm sorry, They really had no answer for Kyrie or Lebron

[@dearshomy]

They shouldn't give finals mvp only for the last game. Stephen Curry was finals mvp over the series. If he hadn't turned it on from 2nd half in Game 3 they'd have lost.

[@Shemzinho]

Facts

[@thedarkknight9153]

But the series turned when Iggy was put in the starting lineup. If Curry had earned it, he'd have won it.

[@BallisticStormstreaming]

Why'd the omit Kyrie's injury in game 1? He had 23 that game. Huge reason why Warriors won that series. That and K Love being out. Warriors fans don't wanna talk about it. Jrue Holiday, Mike Conley & Tony Allen, Patrick Beverly, Kyrie Irving (I guess you can include K Love). All those players were missing.

[@theprodigy7002]

Warriors have benefited from injuries in every championship run they're nothing but fake champions.

[@undertakerblaise256]

Only credit I'll give you is kyrie cuz we saw what hes capable of the year after, but love was lowkey trash in any finals they played tbh. But don't name names as if they're presence (all credit to them cuz they are amazing talents ngl) were gonna eliminate the warriors prior to the wcf, finals, wcsf, etc. Warriors were always the better team 🤦‍♂️.

Rian Mitchell to be fair to kyrie has shown when he wants to defend he is not terrible. Delly played very good defense against curry all series long. If kyrie is there with his offense and can help guard curry and give delly a rest that would have helped a lot.
