How did West get the losing FMVP that year?

The MVP Finals trophy is very valuable, and over the past 50 years, the players who have been elected to the FMVP have all been superstars, and they have all left a wonderful performance on the highest stage of the NBA. A closer look reveals that, with the exception of the 1969 FMVP award to West, the winner won the trophy in the decades since. So as the only loser FMVP in history, how did West do it?

Looking at his performance back then, maybe you have the answer.

Back in the 60s, the NBA was in the era of Celtics' domination, when the Eastern Conference was dominated by the Celtics, and they won the championship. The Western powerhouses are the Lakers, West and Baylor, who are struggling to win a championship. In 1969, the Lakers and Celtics met again in the finals, and in the end, the two sides fought 7 games, and the Celtics won by 7 points and won the championship by 2 points.

Havlicek did a great job, averaging 11 rebounds per game. Bill Russell dominated the basket and put up brutal numbers for points and rebounds.

On the Lakers' side, the best performer is undoubtedly West. In the finals G1, West went completely rampage, shooting 21 of 41 in a single game, and scored 51 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, successfully leading the team to win the game. G2 West continued his excellent performance, shooting 12-of-22 and cutting down 41 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists.

It was his outburst that helped the Lakers get off to a 2-0 start. In the third game, the Celtics pulled one back, and West only had 24 points and 6 assists.

In G4, West carried the Lakers on his shoulders again, shooting 15 of 30 in a single game, and scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, but the Lakers still lost by 1 point. When he arrived at Tianwang Mountain, West did not let the opportunity slip away, shooting 16 of 31 from the field, cutting 39 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, helping the team get the match point. Seeing that the championship was in sight, G6 West got 26 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and the Lakers failed to end the series.

The game was dragged into a tiebreaker, and West played 48 minutes, hit 14 of 29 shots, and got a triple-double of 42 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. But the Lakers still lost by 2 points, allowing the championship to slip away from them.

After 7 games, West 50+ in 1 game, 40+ in 2 games, and averaged rebounds and assists per game, and his personal performance is completely unique. 1 point defeat in the 4th game, 2 points in the tie-break, although West failed to win the championship, he fully deserves the word "glory" despite defeat. West was no slouch compared to the victorious Havlicek and Russell, and he eventually won the FMVP trophy and set a record.

West won the MVP of the losing side with his supernatural personal performance that year, and he averaged perfect statistics of points, rebounds and assists per game.

The main reason is that West's statistics are too good, completely blowing up the opponent, averaging rebounds and assists per game.

The first condition is that there is no hard and fast rule that the American professional basketball team of that year must be the player of the winning side to win the MVP, and the second is that West's performance averaging nearly 40 plus 10 per game is too bright.

The only thing is that the player who lost the NBA Finals got the FMVP, what did West do back then.

No, he was the only player who could win the FMVP as a loser, and although he didn't win the championship that year, his individual performance was too good.

No one else in history has done it, and James almost did. It can be seen that West is very strong on the field.

Not yet, West is the first and only one in history to win the FMVP as a loser. But I think James in 2018 should be able to enjoy this kind of treatment.

In the 1961-1962 Finals, West's stats were excellent, failing to win the championship but he was also the only one in history to lose and win the Most Valuable Player, when West scored 42 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in the tiebreaker.

He can almost average about 28 points per game, and the team is very good, and also dragged the team into the tie-break, although he failed at the time, but it cannot be denied his strength, very strong.

This is because West has a very good performance on the field, and he has played very well, and his strength and explosiveness are very strong, so he can do it.

There were a lot of stars in the regular season who did better than him.

During West's 14-year NBA career, the legendary guard star received numerous individual accolades, and he was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the 1960 NBA Draft as the No. 2 pick, and played for the Los Angeles Lakers throughout his careerIn his former NBA career, he was also an excellent player who could stand alone, but he only lacked a regular season MVP trophy.

In the NBA Finals in the '68-'69 season, although West didn't lead the team, he won the championship. But he still got the AF MVP trophy. He has been selected as an NBA All-Star 14 times, won many scoring and assist titles in the regular season, and has been in the best defensive team five times in his career, but he has never had a regular season MVP, despite his outstanding results.

In fact, there is a reason why West is so good and has not won the MVP, in the NBA league at that time, the era when West played was still in the 60sAt that time, the MVP of the regular season was not determined by **, but by the player's vote, and the players at that time paid more attention to the performance of the inside, so the individual MVPs at that time were basically interior players.

In those days, there were indeed super interior superstars, such as Chamberlain and Russell in the 60s, who often dominated the court and dominated the league, and in the 70s, most of the MVPs were also taken by the interior player Abdul-Jabbar, and on the court at that timeAs a guard player, West has little hope of competing with these interior players for the MVP, which directly leads to his 14-year career without winning the MVP.

It comes from the fact that your performance is not as good as others, you are excellent and others are better than you.

The main reason is that the competition at the same time is too fierce.

The competition is so fierce, and not every project is easy to win.
