How would you rank these? allmylinks.com/theweightliftingcentral Business email: dom2k@moreyellow.com Music: chernebeats.com How would you rank the finals MVPs from the 2000s?
Glad to see Parker getting some love. Your finals video about him was much more informative than the document, where everyone just kept saying; He was so great!
Man that 3 year run for Shaq was just so dominant......literally nobody could stop him, even in a loaded west. Now that I’m older, I really appreciate those Laker teams. Shaq dropping 30 and Kobe back door with a 30? Unstoppable!
Tim Duncan actually got a quadruple double in game 6, but they forgot to give Duncan 2 blocks. One was a deflection and the other was given to David Robinson, but Duncan clearly blocked it. Still doesn’t change the ranking, but a fun fact.
@@d.luvevo711 Nope, Manu was terrible on the road, the plan was on TD, he was the leader and the centerpiece that mantained the Spurs and won it vs those menaceful Pistons.
2016 Lebron, but I get what you mean. LeBron's was just as impressive for a different reason, as he came back from the impossible, and Shaq showed overwhelming dominance
The first Shaq and Kobe slayier and he doesn't even get talked about it, or gets disregarded. Especially because he was pulling a carry at the same time lol insane.
The Mandela effect kinda made me misremember KG winning Finals MVP. Especially since he was the cover athlete of 2k9 and the “Anything is possible” thing still being a relevant clip to this day.
@@thareelhelloagain the mandela effect is just when a large group of people believe something to be real when it wasnt in the first place....the explanation of multiple universe isnt real/provable so yea
Of course, why, you heard that it was stopping? lol What needs to also continue is especially the Best Playoffs Series Ever, of course without using the copyright material nuisance.
I believe you. I had the Shaq and Duncan ones in there. Imo Wade's is not as deserving as Kobe's in 2009 but I wouldn't blame anyone for putting it there.
D-Wade's Finals performance does it for me. Only his 3rd year in the league against a really good team in a series that they won coming back from a 2-0 deficit? That's the one of the only 2000s Finals performances I've ever re-watched.
Shaq's FMVP stats from 00-02 is just so insane.. Thats like some 2K numbers.. Plus take note Kobe also having a great stats on those finals series... BEST DUO EVER!!
This breakdown is greatly appreciated, especially since I was in high school in the early 2000s and it's been ages since the Lakers' three-peat and Timmy's performance against the Nets. Also, Dom, would you consider doing another Alternate series like you did for the 2010s (Alternate MVP, ROY, Finals matchups, etc)?
Chauncey's gotta be hof. Given that people like Cwebb who never won anything are in, he's gotta get in. FMVP of one of the most impressive rings of all time
Pierce elevated himself above Allen in '08...Allen shined in G3 and the celts caught a loss as a result. G4 comes and Paul posts a Great +/-, assist line, and points scored. While playing almost the whole game in a more taxing position than Allen. Allen benefited from opportunities; Pierce facilitated them.
Shaq for the 3 finals MVPs: 35.8 PPG / 14.9 RPG / 3 BPG / 29.5 FGA-PG Lakers for the those 3 finals 103.8 PPG / 43.5 RPG / 7 BPG / 79.3 FGA-PG So Shaq was scoring 34.5% of the team's points but needed only 29.5% of the team's FGA to do so. He grabbed 34% of their rebounds and had 43% of their blocks. Only Duncan can you find a higher (relative to team's output) Reb and Blk% for any of the 2000s finals, and no one else can you find that high of a PPG% on that low of a FGA%.
Chauncey is underrated. First ballot HoFer. Fantastic team leader. what happened to the Nuggets after they traded AI to Detroit for him. ‘Melo was the most talented player on that team, he wasn’t the leader, Chauncey was and they went to the WCF.
You should do a top finals performances over the last 20 years. Like pick a singular game where someone went off. Doesn’t have to be the guy that won the mvp. I think there are plenty of amazing games that get forgotten about because the guy didn’t win the mvp
To me that superteam was a certified Big 4 already by that year in fact, Rondo was especially great in the next years but in 2008 he was insane already. Especially because there were all time role players, assemblance, chemistry, fit and team factor.
Playing better against the better teams in the west> dominating against the worst teams in the finals. Shaq was the best for 2 of the runs (00 and 02) Kobe for 1 (01)
I still think 08 should’ve been KG, that team was built off their historic defense which he was responsible for. He also scored and facilitated not that far behind Pierce that series.
@@KillaMusiktv1BlACKEYEDCORN but KG have better offensive BPM and destroys him in Defensive BPM. 18ppg 13rbg with the same amount of assists as allen while being the best defender in the series. KG has a way better VORP and pretty much all advanced stats while playing 6 minutes less than Paul Pierce.
It's crazy because I exactly joke about it like that too lol Then It's truly always accurate when I hear that specific broken pronunciation of Mutombo's name, it wasn't just me.
Ranking Wade's 2006 Finals performance at #2 on this list is completely fair. Wade destroyed the Mavericks and brought the Heat back from an 0-2 deficit to win the 2006 championship. As far as Wade's free throws go, I'll admit that there were a few questionable foul calls, but the vast majority of those free throws resulted from the simple fact that no one on the Mavericks could stop Wade without fouling him.
Exactly. Yes there were some questionable calls. But the reality is the Mavs defense just didn't have an answer for Wade. Some people need to stop giving into conspiracy theories and actually go watch(or re-watch) the footage from the 06 finals, because it's not like we don't have the footage.
00s Shaq was a completely different beast and should've gotten unanimous MVP in the regular season to go along with his FMVP also I make videos as well
with that intro you made me think about how people say your youtube channel is like you having your own show. but like with that certain intro youtubers really have a whole network.
I would replace Wade's with 2009 Kobe simply because Kobe didn't need the help of free throws. I understand we could go on and on about the refs in the Mavs-Heat series but ultimately, Wade did get A TON of his points off free throws. Kobe actually made shots. Kobe attempted just 4 less field goals than Wade did and Wade played an extra game in his series. And yet, Wade somehow got way more points. It's because of the sheer amount of foul calls he was getting to go his way. 75 of Wade's 208 points came from free throws, that's 36% of his points. Compare that to Kobe who only got 22% of his points from free throws. It just kinda goes to show that a lot of Wade's performance was predicated on him getting calls. Seeing Wade play a lot at the time and well into his run with LeBron, I can honestly say he was a flopper. He was talented but he always sold the contact, and ever since LeBron started playing with him and Battier, he started doing that too.

It really is fantastic, I love almost everything Dom puts up and it's stuff like this that sets him apart as an NBA RUclipsr.
He deserves more subs, this guy just ain't growing like he should be.
Top 3 prediction before watching the video:
1. '00 Shaq
2. '06 Dwyane Wade
3. '03 Tim Duncan

Damn this list will be tough, 03 Tim, 00 Shaq, 06 Wade, like damn
I feel like for 2008, KG should have been Finals MVP. Although Pierce was the closer, KG had 18 pts 13 Rebs with great defensive numbers as well.
7:38 die-kembe mutombo Ayo wtf dom 😭😭

Thanks for doing 2 NBA 2000s I love 2010s so this is very enjoyable
Chauncey's gotta be hof. Given that people like Cwebb who never won anything are in, he's gotta get in. FMVP of one of the most impressive rings of all time
Great vid! Can you rank the 2000s seasons like what you did with the 2010s seasons?
Pierce elevated himself above Allen in '08...Allen shined in G3 and the celts caught a loss as a result. G4 comes and Paul posts a Great +/-, assist line, and points scored. While playing almost the whole game in a more taxing position than Allen.
Allen benefited from opportunities; Pierce facilitated them.
Shaq for the 3 finals MVPs:
35.8 PPG / 14.9 RPG / 3 BPG / 29.5 FGA-PG
Lakers for the those 3 finals
103.8 PPG / 43.5 RPG / 7 BPG / 79.3 FGA-PG
So Shaq was scoring 34.5% of the team's points but needed only 29.5% of the team's FGA to do so. He grabbed 34% of their rebounds and had 43% of their blocks. Only Duncan can you find a higher (relative to team's output) Reb and Blk% for any of the 2000s finals, and no one else can you find that high of a PPG% on that low of a FGA%.
2002-03 Tim Duncan FMVP is S tier in Basketball history 🏀
If we were talking about the entire playoff run, 2003 Timmy would be #1 for sure. Top 3 playoff run if not individual season by any player ever.
Agreed. It's up there for me as well. Too bad most people just remember the Finals.
Dom back at it again with a banger never gets old
Thanks Dom😎
Loved the 2010s series and 2000s series is going to be 🔥

Good video bro! One thing, not sure if the actually video itself being smaller is a good thing. Looked off center as well, but awesome content!
Please make a video comparing each decade. Like, an all-decade team comparison.
That one year with the Celtics was borderline a big 4. People forget how much Rondo balled out that season.
To me that superteam was a certified Big 4 already by that year in fact, Rondo was especially great in the next years but in 2008 he was insane already.
Especially because there were all time role players, assemblance, chemistry, fit and team factor.
💯 he used to kill my cavs with his dimes and nasty layups. Hof all day in my book.
Me personally, Tim Duncan 03 has the best PLAYOFF run not finals run fo the decade
And that's facts, pulled the Lebron before 2018 and even before 2007.
you milkin the hell out the 2000s 😂 still love the content Dom🙏🏾
how?
I enjoyed this video, Dom
Only thing I would change is 03 Duncan over 06 Wade, but besides that pretty much perfect
