The Lost Finals MVPs
Visit our full Lost Awards Series page for all the honors we’re trying to bestow.
From 1950 to 1968, the NBA did not hand out Finals MVP awards, so here I am to make my own judgments as to who should won year-by-year.
The big winners are Bill Russell (9 awards) and George Mikan (3 awards), who motherbleepin’ cleaned up.
Read and be happy or upset with my decision making process.
