Just to understand, your conclusion is: The Finals MVP being at or above average height in 13 straight finals is totally random? It just happened to...
You're correct on the height, nice catch. Doesn't change the theory any. Top 3 player is also a way of looking at it. How often is a top 3 player...
I like and agree with the majority of your post (which I did not quote). I never set or moved any goal line. My first posted stated a fact, the...
I guess my point is that if the last 13 finals MVPs were all over 6'6", the odds that a 6'2" player will be an MVP seems pretty low, agreed? In fact,...
I get what you're saying, but I think you're missing a big point: I'm not saying a team with good wing like Boston is automatically going to win the...
The average NBA players is 6'6". 100% of the last 13 finals MVPs were 6'6" or over. Shouldn't we expect it to be 50/50 if height were a non-factor?
Very possible. So with Lebron entering his 18th season, do you expect the majority or even any of the next 5 NBA champions to have someone under...
Correct, he was not. He had an MVP next to him in 2 of the 3 finals wins. 2 all-stars (one elite shooter, one elite player maker) and a finals MVP...
I agree with you the LBJ was the best player in that series. Which furthers my point: A team with a guy who is well above average height for his...
You bring up an interesting point. 33% of the series were won by the lower seed. I would assume that was slightly higher than most years. The #1 seed...
Good question. I don't think I would predict any of them to to fall to the 8th seed. I think the Fakers and Celtics probably have the best odds to...
The narrative is this: In playoff runs, you're going to have teams with way more time to gameplan. These gameplans typically involve taking away a...
With the exception that he can see over a double team and/or is less impacted by a lengthy defender than someone who 6'-4". That's my whole point.
Exactly. MVP PGs in the regular season, but they're effectiveness is more easily reduced in the playoffs. That's exactly my point.
Fair enough. You're saying you don't have to have that, but almost every championship team does. I'm sure you could construct a team (if salaries and...
I respect what you're saying, but if that's true, why is the average height THIS decades of the finals MVP nearly 6'-10'? Do you think it's totally...
I never said that. I thought you didn't like when people shift the narrative? When a team uses a 6'6" and 6"10" players to double team someone, do...
Here's a different look at the last 30 championship teams and the impact of their starting PG: [ATTACH] On average, a championship teams PG was...
Steph is a fantastic player who was also surround by very good players over 6'4" who were not only capable of winning finals MVP, but won it all 3...
Maybe they got the Finals MVP wrong the year Iggy won it. I'm not following what 6'3" guard was the finals MVP in beating Kawhi Leonard. One 6'3" or...
