Magic Johnson Thinks Stephen Curry Should Be Finals MVP Even If The Warriors Lose To The Celtics: "He's Been Dominant In The First 4 Games."

Stephen Curry has been spectacular in these NBA Finals, and there's no doubt that he has been the best player in the series thus far. In the 2022 NBA Finals, Stephen Curry has averaged 34.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, and 3.8 APG.

Magic Johnson is widely considered to be the greatest point guard of all time, and there's no doubt that he is someone who often provides insightful opinions on the happenings in the NBA. Recently, Magic Johnson claimed that Stephen Curry should be the Finals MVP no matter who wins the series, as he has been absolutely dominant throughout the first 4 games of the Finals.

I think no matter who wins the Golden State vs. Boston series, Steph Curry should be the MVP because he’s been dominant in the first four games!

We haven't seen a player from the losing team win the Finals MVP for a long time, not since Jerry West managed to win the Finals MVP award in 1969. However, it is certainly possible, and Stephen Curry's numbers suggest that it could happen again.

With that being said, Stephen Curry obviously would prefer to win the award while also helping his team win the series. The Golden State Warriors did regain home-court advantage after Game 4, and perhaps they can use that to their advantage.

Stephen Curry has been absolutely dominant for the Golden State Warriors, but he'll need some help offensively if they are to win the NBA Finals. No player has won without help, and as Klay Thompson aptly said, it seems ridiculous to ask Stephen Curry to score 43 points every game as he did in Game 4.

Hopefully, we see Stephen Curry lead the Golden State Warriors to victory. He will need to give them everything he can offensively to do so, and we'll see if he is able to do so.

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

Shaquille O'Neal says Dennis Rodman was his worst teammate: 'He was a great player, but he made it hard'

Shaquille O'Neal played for six franchises over a 20-year NBA career. That's a lot of teammates. Speaking on The Big Podcast with Shaq, the four-time champion and Hall of Famer revealed which one of those teammates was the worst. "Worst teammate? Dennis Rodman," O'Neal said. "He was a great player, but he made it hard. Like when you try to corral the guys together and the people above you [are] letting this one guy do whatever he wants. So we had to be there an hour before the game. He'd come in fifteen minutes before the game eating chicken and rice. While the coaches are talking, he would jump in the shower. Cold shower. Come and give you 15-20 rebounds." O'Neal played with some characters in his time. We know about his beef with Kobe Bryant, who we know wasn't always the easiest teammate to get along with, though Shaq has long expressed regret over the way he and Bryant handled their relationship as young superstars, and eventually, he ...

LeBron James says he has 'no relationship' with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's not a matter of if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 1 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list, it's when. James sits just 1,326 points away from passing the Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Lakers legend, a milestone that should happen at some point this season given James is still performing at peak levels and is coming off a year in which he averaged over 30 points a night. If he averages around the same amount of points as he did a season ago for the Lakers, James could break the record somewhere in the middle of the season, assuming he stays healthy. It's a highly anticipated moment heading into the season, but in regards to LeBron's thoughts about and his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, he didn't have much to say on the matter. Following the Lakers first preseason game Monday night, a reporter asked James what his thoughts were on the Lakers legend and if the two had any relationship, to which LeBron gave a very short answer. "No...
