Siakim dominated the paint at time. There just wasn't a point to me where it felt like Kawhi was dominating. At the end of each game I'd see 33 points or something, and just think to myself "What? How? When?". I'd almost never remember him scoring, but he'd somehow have points. Granted, that has some to do with his play style, but I can only remember a few instances of him going off.
I'm a raptors fan but this is true. He deserved the FMVP but he wasn't the best player in every game. In game 1 it was Siakim in Game 7 it was lowry, van vleet also stepped up in that game. i remember those 3 players going off yet I don't remember kawhi doing that lol
He got a lot of free throws because aside from Iggy and Draymond and Klay GSW had bad defenders at every position and when they sat the free throws flowed like a waterfall.

KD’s 2017 should’ve been ranked higher. That 2017 Cavs team is one of the best offensive teams of all time and probably the second or third best team Lebron played on.
No, just no.

Ricky El Diablo goat is whack, no way to compare players in different generations. and people should keep it at that. major props to dom and his content 💯
People who question why iggy won fmvp never look at the big picture. Lebron would probably average an easy 30 if iggy was never guarding him. Iggy basically made lebron work extra on offense and it showed with his fg%
You can’t tell me that you ever thought you were gonna vote someone other than Kawhi as FMVP in 2019. No one else was consistently scoring more than 15, Siakam was only scoring on cherrypicks and backdoor cuts.
Graphics on this with all their stats and stuff is beautiful. That’s probably a little time consuming but it’s a great touch to these lists. Let’s me keep track a lot easier
I absolutely love the content on this channel keep up the good work. Even if I don’t 100% agree with everything, you back up everything you say with evidence and I love it!
Been watching your vids a while. Thank you! Your voice is beautiful, your cadence is flawless and your info is entertaining with logical (subjectively so) opinions and math. Please do more slow mo in these. Like the 4 min mark with Kawhi and LeBron. You can really see the little cat n mouse game being played in those. The little hand checks, the smirks, the bumps for position etc. Please include more of that. Ty for your energy and time!
That 2016 finals series took me from being a semi- LeBron hater into a fan… I will always criticize some things LBJ does and says on and off the court, but when it comes to his overall greatness, there’s no denying that theres only one other player better than LeBron in the history of this sport.
I think LeBron would have put up better numbers than MJ had he gotten to play in that era that MJ did. Lesser athletes and the rules were more physical. Zone defense was illegal, and hand checking was legal. It's absolutely laughable the people who say a physical freak like LeBron would be worse in that era. He would be a defensive god if he was allowed to hand check people. His one issue on defense is that his size can make it harder for him because his strides are always longer than smaller players, but that's negated if he can put his hands on guys with his raw strength.
I personally would put 2011 lower. Yes the heat were expected to win but that mavs team was very good. Not to mention if Lebron played like Lebron and didn’t choke, heat would’ve won in 5 easily
Imagine if the Heat met those same Mavs the next year and they still had Tyson Chandler and some other players to add on 2012 Heat would’ve beat them in 5 LBJ fixed up so many aspects of his game; He was more aggressive, Better jumper, post game was better, and he found out win or lose im gonna have my feast and give us a chance with my all
For me, 2012 lebron was the best final mvp. The thunder weren't helpless because of the other players on the heat (except chalmers in game 5). The thunder just could not contain lebron. It was a brilliant showing from a player under the pressure of the world, and all because of his own greatness.
2016 LeBron played arguably the greatest playoff series of all time, being the only player in history to lead both teams in ppg, rebounds, assists, steals, & blocks. While doing it against the best regular season team in NBA history on top of it.
I can see your reasoning. But Kawhi 2019 that low??? Literally that series Kawhi came alive whenever raps had nothing going. That crazy 2 min period in game 5 where he almost single handedly won the series. That GSW team without KD did not lose a game to Houston and Portland. And were expected to beat the raps in 6. I feel like theres a lot bias against Kawhi here
kk they got banged out in the playoffs and the finals Demarcus cousins wasn’t healthy kd came back had 15 pts leading golden state on a blowout against the raptors he went down Klay went down. No one expected the warriors to win without kd the raptors was were better golden state only really had steph no kd no Klay man I wish we would’ve got to see them play healthy
OFFICIAL Jdukes bruh, they only had Kawhi. How would people expect them to win without kd if they had steph and klay. Without klay and kd then no duh Kawhi is going to win
I rooted for the heat and the Mavs really did that! Never forget that! Dirk jet pack rocketed of that realm of "they were great but they never won a title"
Dirk took down a fully healthy Miami superteam with role players he’s number one in my eyes. Or put 2016 confidence at number 1 they were the true mvp🤣
@@toptier6132 The game is about the whole team. The 2016 Warriors were an insanely deep team. Love did not play well enough to warrant being in that discussion, and both he & Kyrie were certainly negatives on defense on top of it. The whole team matters, and outside of those players in 2011, Dallas was far superior.
Imo, I think he ranked it well, because he was up against a dominant Curry, while KD and Klay were injured. Boogie wasn’t very much help either. But the Kobe one makes me think that he is biased
We're talking about Finals MVP not Playoffs run, and it wasn't Dirk alone at all, that team had past all stars or > players only, pretty far from Dellavedova or Kenny Smith.
Dom, your logic on KD doesn't really make any sense. There have been plenty of dominant performances in the Finals with uneven teams. I'm sure if you took off Worthy and put in KD on those Lakers teams, his numbers would've been astronomical. However, we look at KDs FMVP and Worthy's like night and day. It doesn't make any sense, we only punish players for having good teammates when they joined them in FA. Not when they are drafted
@@AndyZach yeah the same with LeBron on Miami...that team was always the favorite to win the championship despite them losing to the Mavs and Spurs. What's worst is that after the Heat lost to Spurs... everyone wanted Melo to join LBJ, Wade and Bosh before LBJ created another superteam in Cleveland
Love the series. Other awards could be cool mainly roty and 6th man, coach is probably not gonna be that interesting. But the thing I would like to see video on is top 10 most important/impactful trades of the 2010s. Free agency decisions might be pretty good but it might be predictable. Also I think as heartbreaking as that list would be - the most career altering/impactful injuries of the 2010s.
This is what I never understand . Selective memory always seems to come in with LeBron . That season people said LBJ is better than KD . Some people even said Kyrie is better than Steph but when GSW beat them in what were fairly close games then all of a sudden it’s unfair
@@bdadio Exactly, LBJ and Kyrie are so-called better than Durant and Curry plus they have Kevin Love...its fair game when in 2015 the Cavs were favorite to win
@@quintondorsey7362 An aging Celtic group with no Ray Allen who Miami grabbed btw and Pacers...really?! They were no threat to taking down the 2013 Heat despite going to game 7 with Indiana....I just hear more excuses for a 6'8" loco-motive with superteams than Allen Iverson who was actually play like a champion with bum ass teammates
Let’s be honest if FMVP was allowed to go to players on losing teams Lebron should’ve won it in 2015 and 2014. 2015 is self explanatory, 2014 the Spurs were more team oriented basketball, D Wade and Bosh were shells of themselves and Lebron was literally 1 man armying that Heat team and was by far the best player in that series even if his team did lose in 5.
A lot of ppl say iggy’s finals mvp was undeserved. I m honestly just happy for once that a guy who hustles, did the small things for the team finally got recognized for once.
Woah. 2019 Kawhi is by no means a top 3 Finals MVP. But this guy wasn't 100% all year and still managed to do it against a weaker (but still deadly) Warriors. I rank him at least top 6 Just an opinion.
Jc_ 43 Um no. Did you watch the series? Kawhi wasn’t the best player on his team every game. The Warriors were very hobbled by injuries and the Raptors still barely won.
@@Jay-dn2pg Kawhi was the best player on that team by way of consistency. 28.5 ppg when no one else even routinely cracked 20 ppg sounds like finals MVP to me. The roleplayers and tier 2 stars did their thing, but you're deluding yourself if you think Kawhi wasn't the clear cut Finals MVP.
@@GlitchTheLitch Um Siakim averaged 19.8 pts per game throughout the series and outside of Kawhi, 5 other players averaged over 10 points in that series which is crazy. And with that supporting cast, Kawhi only shot 43% from the field. Not once did I say he wasn't the Finals MVP so I don't know why you're bringing that up. Refer to the original post and you'd know that my argument is that Kawhi didn't have a top 3 Finals performance in the 2010's. There's a lot of fake Kawhi bandwagons coming out of nowhere over hyping what he did.
The LBJ 2016 FMVP is not even top 5 since 2000, jordan would have scored a 169 point quintuple double on that warriors squad young blood -Every Old Head ever
8:27 shows why Stephen is more valuable than KD, as Kyrie and LeBron look at is as an afterthought as steph rushes to the 3point line. Mind boggling how they just ignore one of the best scorers in the NBA!
@@indmslikedeez8005 lol without bron they wouldn't even be there. Without bron's block, kyrie wouldn't even have the chance to hit that 3. A team is a team. Without gasol, 2010 lakers wouldn't even in the finals that year.

I haven’t seen the video but I’m guessing Iggy is #10 and bron with CLE is #1
I love how he goes into detail about the context of the situation where it can get swept under the rug but dom knows his shit 😃
Very unbiased video, he doesn't think LBJ is the GOAT but he can still make a fair assessment of him
Ricky El Diablo goat is whack, no way to compare players in different generations. and people should keep it at that. major props to dom and his content 💯
@@baronkristianmaralit7407 fr
If I don’t know #1 before this video even starts, one of us is smoking crack. “BLOCKED BY JAMES”
Hands down, the most perfectly explained list that without the explanation i would'nt agree with; but you convinced me.
Day 19 of telling Dom to do a 100k special
Keep going he'll listen eventually
I agree with EVERYTHING !!!! Thank You for actually considering and factoring the CONTEXT AND CIRCUMSTANCES... you’re the goat bro !! Good shit
Boris Diaw at 3:45 has me WHEEZING LMAO
He be throwing hands out there
People who question why iggy won fmvp never look at the big picture. Lebron would probably average an easy 30 if iggy was never guarding him. Iggy basically made lebron work extra on offense and it showed with his fg%
Those “Sonic Says” messages😂😂
Probably my favorite opening on RUclips! Keep up the good work Dom!
You can’t tell me that you ever thought you were gonna vote someone other than Kawhi as FMVP in 2019. No one else was consistently scoring more than 15, Siakam was only scoring on cherrypicks and backdoor cuts.
Graphics on this with all their stats and stuff is beautiful. That’s probably a little time consuming but it’s a great touch to these lists. Let’s me keep track a lot easier
Bruh anyone else notice Boris diow going crazy at 3:53
This is by far one of my favorite video series on RUclips it’s amazing.
2019 Kawhi should be higher I think. Before I finish watching, I’ll be surprised if 2016 Lebron isn’t first
I absolutely love the content on this channel keep up the good work. Even if I don’t 100% agree with everything, you back up everything you say with evidence and I love it!
9:15
“We knew it was gonna turn out that way, that’s why everybody was so pissed” 💀
This is the best nba content I’ve ever seen
Yo Dom these videos cool and all but are you gonna finish ranking the 2k games
9:00 thank you for this, I've had waaay too many arguments on Twitter about the inflation of KDa stats
And skip Bayless had the audacity to argue that Kyrie deserved finals mvp in 2016 wowwwwwww unbelievable I cannot believe that
GOAT intro
2019 Kawai was also injured and still played a beautiful series, I'd take that over at least the first KD cake walk
Been watching your vids a while. Thank you! Your voice is beautiful, your cadence is flawless and your info is entertaining with logical (subjectively so) opinions and math. Please do more slow mo in these. Like the 4 min mark with Kawhi and LeBron. You can really see the little cat n mouse game being played in those. The little hand checks, the smirks, the bumps for position etc. Please include more of that. Ty for your energy and time!
That 2016 finals series took me from being a semi- LeBron hater into a fan… I will always criticize some things LBJ does and says on and off the court, but when it comes to his overall greatness, there’s no denying that theres only one other player better than LeBron in the history of this sport.
I think LeBron would have put up better numbers than MJ had he gotten to play in that era that MJ did. Lesser athletes and the rules were more physical. Zone defense was illegal, and hand checking was legal.
It's absolutely laughable the people who say a physical freak like LeBron would be worse in that era. He would be a defensive god if he was allowed to hand check people. His one issue on defense is that his size can make it harder for him because his strides are always longer than smaller players, but that's negated if he can put his hands on guys with his raw strength.
You did it again, loved this video. Do Defensive Player of the Years, please and thank you!
I think that Kawhi's 2019 Finals MVP should be over KD's 2018 MVP
duh
on 43% shooting?
@@sunsungodjesusloverjr.2204 You can argue that, but not "duh."
The Unpopular Opinionated Tennessean Kawhi final mvp definitely should be higher than 2018 KD
Lmaoo numbers Dont lie. KD > Kawhi overrated ass
What a great video Dom2K...I think it is one of the best Basketball videos I have ever seen.
Next list, best elimination games
NOTII SQUAD fav series on youtube right here
Number 1 Lebron James 2016 finals mvp won Cleveland its first NBA championship and lead both teams in all major statistical categories
Dirks finals run was legendary probably the best of the 2010s
His playoff run to the finals was even better
I personally would put 2011 lower. Yes the heat were expected to win but that mavs team was very good. Not to mention if Lebron played like Lebron and didn’t choke, heat would’ve won in 5 easily
Imagine if the Heat met those same Mavs the next year and they still had Tyson Chandler and some other players to add on
2012 Heat would’ve beat them in 5 LBJ fixed up so many aspects of his game;
He was more aggressive, Better jumper, post game was better, and he found out win or lose im gonna have my feast and give us a chance with my all
At 0:56 sonic says binary code for a picture of Kawhi
I’m dead
It says "fun guy robot"
This is my list exact, well done.
For me, 2012 lebron was the best final mvp. The thunder weren't helpless because of the other players on the heat (except chalmers in game 5). The thunder just could not contain lebron. It was a brilliant showing from a player under the pressure of the world, and all because of his own greatness.
Infinityflow KD played better that series are you dumb he avg 30 on 50%
2016 LeBron played arguably the greatest playoff series of all time, being the only player in history to lead both teams in ppg, rebounds, assists, steals, & blocks. While doing it against the best regular season team in NBA history on top of it.
You got it all right :,) proud of you
I can see your reasoning. But Kawhi 2019 that low??? Literally that series Kawhi came alive whenever raps had nothing going. That crazy 2 min period in game 5 where he almost single handedly won the series. That GSW team without KD did not lose a game to Houston and Portland. And were expected to beat the raps in 6. I feel like theres a lot bias against Kawhi here
kk So what about Klay getting injured?
So true
kabagema yannick agree it defs changes the outcome. But klay was only missing for 1.5 games. Gsw was like the 2015 cavs loads of spirit
kk they got banged out in the playoffs and the finals Demarcus cousins wasn’t healthy kd came back had 15 pts leading golden state on a blowout against the raptors he went down Klay went down. No one expected the warriors to win without kd the raptors was were better golden state only really had steph no kd no Klay man I wish we would’ve got to see them play healthy
OFFICIAL Jdukes bruh, they only had Kawhi. How would people expect them to win without kd if they had steph and klay. Without klay and kd then no duh Kawhi is going to win
I’d watched many of your videos and this my favorite! I even share it on my FB.
I rooted for the heat and the Mavs really did that! Never forget that! Dirk jet pack rocketed of that realm of "they were great but they never won a title"
3:52 my man was waxing his car or something lmaoooo 😂
Dirk took down a fully healthy Miami superteam with role players he’s number one in my eyes. Or put 2016 confidence at number 1 they were the true mvp🤣
The team were the mvp, They played good team basketball.
Iconic_ God7 without dirk that team is nothing.
Dirk is number 1
2016 Lebron, Kyrie and Kevin love > Curry, klay and Dreymond
2011 Dirk > Lebron, Dwade and Chris bosh
@@toptier6132 The game is about the whole team. The 2016 Warriors were an insanely deep team. Love did not play well enough to warrant being in that discussion, and both he & Kyrie were certainly negatives on defense on top of it.
The whole team matters, and outside of those players in 2011, Dallas was far superior.
"referring to the cavs uniforms obviously" 😂😂 too fucking funny
How can you rank both of Durant’s above Kawhi’s in Toronto? I get the 2017 one but 2018? I disagree.
Supermariohoops24 agree with you, Kawhi definitely deserves to be higher
Imo, I think he ranked it well, because he was up against a dominant Curry, while KD and Klay were injured. Boogie wasn’t very much help either. But the Kobe one makes me think that he is biased
Thanks for doing this one bro
Dirk ran through okc, defendin back to back champs kobe lakers, and the heat
Themrajester2 he’s 1 for me
We're talking about Finals MVP not Playoffs run, and it wasn't Dirk alone at all, that team had past all stars or > players only, pretty far from Dellavedova or Kenny Smith.
Themrajester2 Kobe played bad
@@RandySavagxe Yes, and it was his own fault.
@@RandySavagxe the mavs defense with shawn marion helped contain Kobe and no one on the Lakers could stop JJ Barea
dom 2k best basketball youtuber hands down
Gabriel Patishman what about Jimmy Highroller.
Dom, your logic on KD doesn't really make any sense. There have been plenty of dominant performances in the Finals with uneven teams. I'm sure if you took off Worthy and put in KD on those Lakers teams, his numbers would've been astronomical. However, we look at KDs FMVP and Worthy's like night and day. It doesn't make any sense, we only punish players for having good teammates when they joined them in FA. Not when they are drafted
I agree....A lot of people forgot the Warriors built through draft and became a great team
35 on 50% those are god numbers he should've been higher
Dom2K didn't downrate KD because he was a FA, but because they team was so great compared to their opposition.
Forgiven Sinner so are we going to downrate Shaqs dominant FMVP ? Or Jordan’s ?
@@AndyZach yeah the same with LeBron on Miami...that team was always the favorite to win the championship despite them losing to the Mavs and Spurs. What's worst is that after the Heat lost to Spurs... everyone wanted Melo to join LBJ, Wade and Bosh before LBJ created another superteam in Cleveland
Love the series. Other awards could be cool mainly roty and 6th man, coach is probably not gonna be that interesting.
But the thing I would like to see video on is top 10 most important/impactful trades of the 2010s. Free agency decisions might be pretty good but it might be predictable.
Also I think as heartbreaking as that list would be - the most career altering/impactful injuries of the 2010s.
No 2018 the mvp was not kd it was jr smith
Some Guy Correct
@Christian Ramirez woosh
15:26 “and then LeBron jame” 😂 all love tho dom
So KD winning MVP against Cavs ain't as good because he's with the Warriors but LBJ 2013 MVP season number 1 even though he had a superteam in Miami?
This is what I never understand . Selective memory always seems to come in with LeBron . That season people said LBJ is better than KD . Some people even said Kyrie is better than Steph but when GSW beat them in what were fairly close games then all of a sudden it’s unfair
@@bdadio Exactly, LBJ and Kyrie are so-called better than Durant and Curry plus they have Kevin Love...its fair game when in 2015 the Cavs were favorite to win
You still had the celtics who was a threat and you had the Pacers who was in the mix as well
@@quintondorsey7362 An aging Celtic group with no Ray Allen who Miami grabbed btw and Pacers...really?! They were no threat to taking down the 2013 Heat despite going to game 7 with Indiana....I just hear more excuses for a 6'8" loco-motive with superteams than Allen Iverson who was actually play like a champion with bum ass teammates
@@thekoolbreezeeffect You are going out of conversation
Let’s be honest if FMVP was allowed to go to players on losing teams Lebron should’ve won it in 2015 and 2014. 2015 is self explanatory, 2014 the Spurs were more team oriented basketball, D Wade and Bosh were shells of themselves and Lebron was literally 1 man armying that Heat team and was by far the best player in that series even if his team did lose in 5.
Imagine winning the finals mvp because of Lebron 🤷🏽♂️
Wut
🤔
Yung Snipa Fr😂
W
Imagine needing to statpad in the nba finals because Kawhi shut you down
A lot of ppl say iggy’s finals mvp was undeserved. I m honestly just happy for once that a guy who hustles, did the small things for the team finally got recognized for once.
Woah. 2019 Kawhi is by no means a top 3 Finals MVP. But this guy wasn't 100% all year and still managed to do it against a weaker (but still deadly) Warriors. I rank him at least top 6
Just an opinion.
Jc_ 43 Um no. Did you watch the series? Kawhi wasn’t the best player on his team every game. The Warriors were very hobbled by injuries and the Raptors still barely won.
He was hurt!!!! He played through an injury
Sathvik B Chilagani Bro literally everyone from both teams were injured
@@Jay-dn2pg Kawhi was the best player on that team by way of consistency. 28.5 ppg when no one else even routinely cracked 20 ppg sounds like finals MVP to me. The roleplayers and tier 2 stars did their thing, but you're deluding yourself if you think Kawhi wasn't the clear cut Finals MVP.
@@GlitchTheLitch Um Siakim averaged 19.8 pts per game throughout the series and outside of Kawhi, 5 other players averaged over 10 points in that series which is crazy. And with that supporting cast, Kawhi only shot 43% from the field. Not once did I say he wasn't the Finals MVP so I don't know why you're bringing that up. Refer to the original post and you'd know that my argument is that Kawhi didn't have a top 3 Finals performance in the 2010's. There's a lot of fake Kawhi bandwagons coming out of nowhere over hyping what he did.
You make my day man you have no idea
The LBJ 2016 FMVP is not even top 5 since 2000, jordan would have scored a 169 point quintuple double on that warriors squad young blood
-Every Old Head ever
8:27 shows why Stephen is more valuable than KD, as Kyrie and LeBron look at is as an afterthought as steph rushes to the 3point line. Mind boggling how they just ignore one of the best scorers in the NBA!
8:43 aswell.
and skip had the audacity to sit up there on first take the day after game 7 and say kyrie was the FMVP 🙄
Noah Maddox I mean I don’t agree with that statement but without kyrie the cavs lose
In DMS Like Deez same goes for lbj smh
Liberal Arts Student at UC Berkeley yeah but difference is we saw what it was with jus bron. A loss. He needed kyrie
@@indmslikedeez8005 lol without bron they wouldn't even be there. Without bron's block, kyrie wouldn't even have the chance to hit that 3. A team is a team. Without gasol, 2010 lakers wouldn't even in the finals that year.
Nanay Tatay oh now it’s a team game but if he win he gets all the credit, whatever lmao. Point is, if kyrie ain’t there the cavs lose and it’s 2015 all over again simple
The old intro is back baby!!! Love it👍
Can you make the ranking of DPOYs from 2010s? It's a must request to Dom2k.
Almost 300k! How does that feel ?!congrats great as usual
Lebrons 2013 run was historic too
Damn I love this series
Put Kawhi’s 2019 above both of KD’s because he couldn’t control injuries, he just plays. KD controlled joining a 73 win team.
Mike HawkJuices At least the other teams were healthy not so sure about the 2019 finals.
I’ve been watching your content for some time and I just noticed I wasn’t subscribed! Subscribed immediately, keep up the good work.
Imma be like 60 and dom will have series for the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. Dats crazy
Couldn’t have explained Kobe’s better. Everyone just looks at his shooting percentages rather than accomplishments.
