    I understand the Iggy MVP, I think he was the most influential player on the winning side. It was the whole team that won them the ring, including the massive boost they got from their bench, but without Iggy's defense on LBJ I doubt they win the series. But still, without LBJ, Cavs clearly lose 4 zip. This series was only close due to LeBron. Losing and all, he was clearly the most valuable player in the series IMO.

    Bron's %'s vs. Iggy were abysmal, Iggy earned it. Cool to see they weren't blinded by PPG RPG APG. LeBron did great for his situation, but Iggy earned this 100%

    So the MVP earned his MVP by slowing the superstar a tad. Wow. He sure earned it.

    LeBron was inefficient because he was on a 1-man team, not because of what Igoudala did.

    If the Warriors had been missing 2 of their top 3 players, would Igoudala have carried them to close games in all the Finals games, as the Player of the Decade did?

    No, but he might have slowed the true star down. Whoopee.

    LeBron chose his team, so he doesn't get to use 'my teammates suck' as an excuse. He's a loser, burn him.

    I don't know about Iggy Azalea winning, I think she's kind of unpleasant to listen to, but kids these days, they don't appreciate good music.

    In that case, I'd vote for Curry. :)

    I agree.

    And without Curry, the Cavs win 4 zip. ;)

    Without Iggy, who knows?

    Oh, well. I'm not a fan of either team, so phooey. ;)

    Would GSW have even MADE the Playoffs without Curry? No.

    How can anyone defend that little pest Igoudala? LeBron swatted him away like a fly.

    Andre Miller played with the Philly Iggy 2 1/2 seasons and the Nuggy Iggy 1 season. These analytics show what formed Iguodala and that we should have kept Miller.

    Andre Miller is a free agent this off season...I'd swap Blake for him in a heartbeat

    Nate would still play Blake over Miller.

    The number on when Iggy was on LeBron vs when he was not are monstrously different. After looking through the advanced stats, Iggy was the difference. Down 2-1, he comes in, SIGNIFICANTLY minimizes LeBron's efficiency (still scored but at a very poor rate) and went 3-0 as a starter against him. Sure LeBron is the best player but it's Most Valuable and in this case, I think they got it right.

    I agree that Iggy was the right choice. He never looked gassed throughout the series. He wore down Lebron and that's an accomplishment that deserved recognition

    Yes Lebron put up big numbers but you know what happens when you jack up 35 shots a night you tend to score. Lebron is also a genetic freak and was the primary ball handler for the Cavs for the whole series so yes he is going to put up big numbers. He did that but his shooting % was horrible. You give up 35% shooting to another team guess what you tend to win.

    Defense wins championships, FACT. Iggy is an amazing defender and had a great series FACT.

    Most die hard Blazer fans would give their left nut for us to have someone who played defense half as good as Iguodala.
