Everything about Nba Finals Most Valuable Player Award totally explained
The
National Basketball Association Finals Most Valuable Player Award is presented to the player who has exhibited exceptional play during an
NBA Finals series. The award typically goes to a player on the winning team, though when it was first awarded to
Jerry West in 1969, his
Los Angeles Lakers' team lost to the
Boston Celtics. This was the only year that the award went to a player whose team didn't win the championship.
The award was originally a black trophy with a gold basketball-shaped sphere at the top, similar to the
Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, until a smaller trophy was introduced in 2005 and presented to the Finals MVP,
Tim Duncan.
