Yang Yi speaks up for Curry! The 15-year FMVP gave to Iguodala and not to Curry, but it still cannot be accepted

In a live broadcast program, Yang Yi, a famous domestic basketball commentator, expressed another amazing view. He felt wronged for Curry and said bluntly that the 2015 FMVP was given to Iguodala but not to Curry, and he could not accept it until now. As soon as the topic of

came out, it immediately became lively in the fan circle, so I had this view:

"Faced with the injured Cavaliers, I was fucked 1-2 in the first three games, and then Iguodala won three consecutive games, and had more than 20 points in two games; plus the defensive contribution, Iguodala also said it was just like that, and it was completely okay to give Curry. I can only say that at that time Media people think that the defense has won the championship and think that Curry has not had enough influence on the game. It is indeed not enough. Otherwise, why would I fall behind in the first three games before Iguodala starts? "The time goes back to 2015, when the Warriors and the Cavaliers played very fiercely in the finals. Curry is the team's star, and his three-point shot was abnormally accurate, leading the Warriors to break through the difficulties and reach the finals. Although Irving and Love were absent due to injury, James relied on his super skills to lead the team alone and play hard to match the Warriors. After the

series, the Warriors fell behind 1:2 with a big score. Later, coach Cole changed the lineup and let Iguodala enter the starting lineup. Unexpectedly, the adjustment effect was particularly good. The Warriors won three consecutive games and finally won the championship with 4:2. Iguodala did well in the next three games, especially in defending James, which played a key role. But what Yang Yi cares about is that Curry performed well in the entire finals and his data is better than Iguodala. Why did the FMVP be given to Iguodala?

The results of the FMVP voting that year came out, and Iguodala won 7 votes, but Curry won no vote. Yang Yi felt strange in the live broadcast. Iguodala scored only about 10 points per game in the last three games. Why did he give him this jackpot? He also mentioned that it was because Curry was defended by Delavidova in one game, so the Cavaliers led 2:1; Iguodala later changed the situation and took all the credit to him? Anyway, Curry was excluded, and Yang Yi really couldn't understand this matter.

In my opinion, Yang Yi was complaining about Curry, it was not his own stubbornness. Just talking about the performance of the game, Curry's average data per game in the finals is much better than Iguodala. Curry is the pillar of the Warriors' offensive, and his three-pointer can't defend at all; only when the Warriors have room for attack can teammates have more opportunities. Iguodala is really good in defense, but the basketball game is about scoring and offense, and Curry's offense is definitely a real contribution to the team's championship.

In terms of the FMVP selection method, perhaps the judges paid more attention to Iguodala's reversal of the competition. When the Warriors were 1-2 behind, they won three games in a row after replacing Iguodala. This effect was too significant, but they could not ignore Curry's stable performance throughout the entire series. All the Warriors' offenses come from Curry's huge deterrence, and only Iguodala and Green have the opportunity to make three-pointers at open positions; the result was given to Iguodala, and Curry fans would definitely not be happy, and Yang Yi also felt it was unreasonable.

Even his opponent James believed that Curry was the key to winning the 2015 Warriors Finals, and that he should be awarded the FMVP by default. There is still a possibility that the NBA might want to talk about "unexpected" at that time. Iguodala gets FMVP, which is unexpected, and the topic suddenly starts. But Curry was suffering. He was obviously the boss of the team and the hero of winning the championship, but he missed the FMVP. Fortunately, Curry also got his own FMVP in 2.22, but this controversy in 2015 is probably always being mentioned by famous fans and celebrities like Yang Yi; after all, Curry's performance back then should have got an FMVP.
