On June 12, the NBA finals were over. The NBA playoff MVP ranking of this year, which was evaluated by the authoritative sports media of the United States, continued to be updated. LeBron James of the Cavaliers still ranked first. James Harden of the rockets and Kevin Durant of the warriors ranked second and third respectively.
1. LeBron James
This year's playoff average: 34 points, 9.1 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 block, 1 steal
Although James lost to the same opponent for the third time in the finals in the past four years, he is still king.
In fact, James had the chance to play the greatest postseason personal performance in NBA history, and the Cavaliers had a chance to win in Game 1 of the finals, but with JR's blackout, the Cavaliers lost that chance.
So James is obviously the best player in the playoffs this year.
2. James Harden
This year's playoff average: 28.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.6 blocks, 2.2 steals
Although Durant did well in the finals and became an fmvp for the second year in a row, in the first three rounds of the playoffs, Hadden's task was obviously heavier on his shoulders. Although Chris Paul shared some of Hadden's pressure, Hadden was still the main engine of the Rockets, and Durant didn't need that because he was surrounded by curry, clay and green.
3. Kevin Durant
This year's playoff average: 29 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.2 blocks, 0.7 steals
Durant came forward in the finals, ranking the warriors first with 28.8 points per game, and the real shooting percentage reached 65.4%. In addition, his rebounds per game (10.8) and blocked shots (2.3 times) were also the first in four finals.
Most importantly, when Durant was on the court, the warriors scored 86 points over the Cavaliers, while when Durant was not on the court, the warriors scored 26 points. Although Durant's single attack in the Western Conference finals and the rockets that round of series is not efficient, but in the face of the Cavaliers, Durant's ability to control the attack is particularly critical.
4. Giannis antocombo
This year's playoff average: 25.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 0.9 blocks, 1.4 steals
As far as the first round of the playoffs is concerned, antocombo's performance is no less than that of any other player except LeBron James. In the future, his ranking on this list will still be very high.
5. Drummond green
This year's playoff average: 10.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 2 steals
Green is one of the most special players in the NBA. Even if he doesn't score much, he can still make a great impact. He is an outstanding defender and can organize attacks. Kevin Pelton, an NBA data expert, even thinks green may become a hall of fame player. Although Durant is better in the finals, the warriors' MVP should be green in the first three rounds of the playoffs.
6. Anthony Davis
This year's playoff average: 30.1 points, 13.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.3 blocks and 2 steals
7. Stephen Curie
This year's playoff average: 25.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.7 blocks, 1.7 steals
8. Chris Paul
This year's playoff average: 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 0.3 blocks, 2 steals
9. Al Horford
This year's playoff field average: 15.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1 steals
10. Clay Thompson
This year's playoff average: 19.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 steals
