記者Howard Beck在最新的一期專題報導裡，針對所有2015年總決賽的投票者進行採訪，回
顧當時投票的情形。IGGY得到7票當選總決賽MVP，LeBron得到4票，Curry得到0票。

Stein: Very seriously. Those Warriors revolved around Steph and frankly they sti
ll do. But I ultimately went with Iguodala, because he changed the series when h
e became a starter. People forget he scored 25 points in the clinching Game 6 wi
n. People also forget that the Warriors were a shaky mess at 2–1, down against
a heavy underdog that won TWO games without Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving to take
a series lead. Iguodala changed the series, and that's why he got my vote.



Lowe: Very seriously. If I had voted for a Warrior, I’d have voted for Curry. I
 just thought what LeBron did, getting that Cavs team without Kyrie Irving and K
evin Love a 2–1 lead—and keeping them competitive in all but one of their four
 losses—was pretty remarkable. Too many people focus on LeBron’s shooting perc
entages in that series, which were not great. They weren’t horrid either, and h
e was doing pretty much everything.



Spears: There was no other NBA Finals MVP, All-Star MVP or final season award vo
te that I have agonized over more than this one. There was not a lot of time to
think about it, either. Ultimately, the defensive impact of Iguodala on LeBron s
wayed me.

Spears:沒有任何一個NBA總決賽MVP、全明星MVP或賽季末的獎項投票比這次更讓我苦惱。
我也沒有多少時間去思考這件事。 最終，IGGY在防守端對LeBron的影響動搖了我。

Berger: For me, LeBron was the runaway leader in the clubhouse after the first t
hree games. How could he not have been after putting up 44-8-6 in 45 minutes, 39
-16-11 in 50 minutes, and 40-12-8-4 in 46 minutes? Steph was the best player on
the Warriors through three games ... but not even close to the best player in th
e series. The series changed when Steve Kerr inserted Iguodala into the starting
 lineup in Game 4. In that pivotal game, LeBron was human (20-12-8 in 40 minutes
) as the Warriors tied the series at 2–2 and avoided the dreaded 3–1 deficit.
So at that point, Curry was a distant second to LeBron in my MVP thoughts.



Lloyd: If the Cavs had gotten it to a Game 7 and stretched the series as far as
it could go (as Jerry West did the year he won it in a losing effort), LeBron wo
uld’ve gotten my vote, regardless. The fact the Cavs lost in six, and three str
aight to end the series, eliminated him from my ballot. So then it became Steph
or Iggy. The fact remains the entire series swung on Iggy entering the Warriors
’ starting lineup. When Iguodala was off the court in these Finals, LeBron shot
 44% and the Cavs outscored the Warriors by 30 points. When Iguodala was on the
court, he was James’s primary defender and LeBron shot 38%—and the Warriors ou
tscored the Cavs by 55. Without Iguodala, the Cavs win the series. That’s prett
y valuable to me, even if it doesn’t fit the narrative today.



Aschburner: I considered Curry as seriously as any of the players in that series
. I think I heard the Iguodala chatter, but wasn’t persuaded. My view of Curry
was that he had been good, but not GREAT, and had had plenty of help at various
points in the series. Meanwhile, LeBron had little or no help with Kyrie out aft
er one game and Kevin Love not available at all.

Aschburner:我認真的考慮過Curry。我聽到了一些關於IGGY的議論，但我沒被說服。 我對C
urry的看法是，他表現不錯，但並不偉大，而且他在系列賽的各個階段都得到了很多幫助。
 與此同時，在KI打完G1報銷之後，LeBron幾乎沒有得到任何幫助，而Love也完全不能上場

Simmons: I barely considered Curry, but I definitely waffled on whether I was vo
ting for the NBA Finals’ best player or most valuable player. LeBron James was
clearly the best player in the series, and Andre Iguodala was clearly the most v
aluable player to the winning team in the series. Curry was ultimately not part
of my choice, even with the understanding that he got the Warriors to a place th
at they hadn’t been for 40 years. He simply was not among the most impactful pl
ayers in that best-of-seven series, and I believe that’s what I was called to v
ote on.



Amick: After three games, it just felt like LeBron was eviscerating the Warriors
; and more importantly, that Steph was getting mauled in this matchup, and he ha
d a really bad Game 2. Games 1 and 3 looked fine in the box score, but defensive
ly, he was getting picked on a bit. The thing that gets overlooked a bit is that
 when (Andrew) Bogut was in there, it was inviting the Cavs to trap with Tristan
 Thompson and making life really tough on Steph. So when Iguodala entered the st
arting lineup in Game 4, it wasn’t just a case of slowing LeBron a little bit,
it was also that on the offensive end, he was spacing the floor and making thing
s easier on Steph.



Van Gundy: I thought it was clear cut (for James). And then the next clear-cut o
ne was, if it was from the Warriors, it was Curry. But you’re also happy for a
guy like Iguodala, who’s had a terrific career, and he played great. My second
pick would have been Curry. Sometimes when you don’t play to the level—this in
credibly high level of expectation that he’s created for himself—you get overs
crutinized. And I think that’s been him a lot in his career.
