Wow JB FMVP! I thought it would be JT! But that defense on Luka probably put him over the top

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.

Yeah, after Brown getting the ECF MVP, you'd think the voters would have at least leaned toward Tatum for this one. Brown winning both is definitely not indicative of who the best player is on this team.

White and Jrue bring  the leadership needed to win it all. Love them.

I loved the "Mic'd up" clips of him talking about his ball denial on Luka and asking Joe to keep him in the game to guard Luka while he's on the court.  JB wanted that challenge.

Voters have something against Tatum.

First ECF MVP. Now Finals MVP. Deserved both.

Yep. And the worst one is our own ESPN coverage guy Tim Bontemps. Dude is a hack.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Pretty glad in retrospect that we didn't trade Brown for Harden, Butler, George, KD, Kawhi, Davis, Sabonis, Lillard, ect ect.

It turns out Tatum and Brown do actually work together.

Jaylen got it right when the first thing out of his mouth was about the team and his partner in crime.  They did it together.  It wasn't one or the other, it was both with the whole franchise behind them and that's why we're here.

Which one got the MVP trophy is immaterial IMO.
