The ONLY player to win Finals MVP but lose the series 😱👀 JERRY WEST MVP CONSPIRACY 👀

[llIIlIlIl]

The office thing isn’t true, that was the first finals MVP given out so they happened to give it to the best preformed in the series

[survivortheoneincharge]

Russell did not average 25 that series… he was averaging 9 points.

[NWL]

R.I.P To the logo and the only player ever to win The Finals MVP Trophy on a losing team and also the Single Greatest Genius in NBA Draft History.

[elonmusk]

jerry west will forever be one of the sickest names in the nba bros a shooter and has the name west

[SawyerAndEmmett]

Rip jerry west you will always be remembered

[lavellcox]

He Finally won the NBA Series through team work

[klipklapklop]

Whether it was true or false imagine being that guy and seeing your finals mvp which just reminds u that u lost

[actionjaxonchi]

Rest in peace to Jerry West and Bill Russel😢

[larryjames]

Imagine how much finals mvp bron would’ve have 😭😭

[AmarisGamingWorld]

This almost happened in the 2015 they almost gave it to lebron but gave its to IGOUDALA

[dcumprf]

Important to add that I believe they invented the award because he played so damn well. He was far and away the best player on the court.

Honestly LeBron probably deserved it in a losing occasion in at least one of his losses to the Warriors.

[manny]

They could have given the mvp to john havlicek for that series ..but west very deserved it too

[datboid]

Yooo dat post pump fake from west was fuckin fire

[commonsensedatcom]

I actually know of jerry west now because of MJ.

[whatwhatwhatwhat]

Even crazier coincidence… Jerry West was born in West Virginia and is the only NBA player to win Finals MVP but lose. Chuck Howley, born in West Virginia, only NFL player to win Super Bowl MVP but lose…

[asmith]

Not to mention he played part of the series with a bad pulled hamstring....dudes today out 6 weeks minimum. The logo puts up 42 in game 7.

[Nootz]

Finals MVP should go to whoever is the most valuable player in the series, win or lose. Lebron in '15 should've been Finals MVP because without him, that Cavs team with both Kyrie and Love out would've gotten swept and lost every game by 30+

[SilencedButNotForgotten]

Bill Russell was averaging 9 points that series.

[zeroskill]

No, that year russell averaged under 15ppg, his 1969 finals stat line probably looked like this:

9.1ppg
21.1rpg
5.3apg

Game 7: 6PTS 21REB 6AST

Jerry West stat line:

37.9ppg
4.7rpg
7.4apg

Game 7: 42PTS 13REB 12AST


John Havlicek lead the celtics in scoring:

28.3ppg
11.0rpg
4.4apg

Game 7: 26PTS 9REB 5 AST

The most valuable player - also the greatest winner of all time in all professional sports franchises - was Bill Russell. Smartest, most capable, greatest leader, greatest all-around p, ayer, and greatest professional sports winner of all time. 11 NBA Championships in 13 years. Mike had six...Brady had seven in 20 years...not even close. Bill Russell is THE GOAT.
