Mavericks (1-3) at Celtics (3-1) NBA Finals Game 5 6/17/24

I was all for Brown until this game, where Tatum really played superbly and should get the MVP.

But I guess they really value consistency.

Sexy hat they are wearing

Not going to lie, JT getting robbed again puts a bit of  a damper on things right now. Pretty sure JT yet again led the team in points, rebounds, assists yet doesn't get the MVP.

Just going to lead to more narratives against JT next year.

So happy for Al

[Atzar]

A little surprised it went to JB but super happy for him.  Amazing what a difference a year made, from the lowest low in G7 last year to the highest high now.

Browns defense on Luka was honestly special. It's hard to quantify, but he's been unbelievable

That?s true. I thought jaylens defense to start this game on Luka was some of the best defense I?ve seen in 10 years, still thought Tatum would get thrown the bone

Shocker. JB!!!!

good. he deserved it and i am happy for him.

At least defense is recognized in the FINALS mvp calculation.

JB destroyed their wings.

JT will get his.  We're getting banner 19 in the upcoming years.

Big Al! Looks like he is 25!

[Muzzy66]

On one hand I do feel JT should have won FMVP after the performances in both game 4 and 5. 

BUT at the same time I know that for years Jaylen has been playing in Tatum's shadow, and I know that must have been tough for him - and I'm glad to see him get some recognition so he knows without a doubt that he is apprecited!

And JB unquestionably had huge moments in this series, so well deserving regardless.   

[Who]

Voters have something against Tatum.

First ECF MVP. Now Finals MVP. Deserved both.

Yep. Really intense ball denial all night long.

Jrue 15/11/4.  True champion.

Also, I hope this angers JT and he becomes even more elite on D.

If that happens, could be 19 in a canter
