Magic Johnson has already seen enough from both the Warriors and Celtics to name who his pick is for Finals MVP. Needless to say, it’s surely a popular one.
“I think no matter who wins the Golden State vs. Boston series, Steph Curry should be the MVP because he’s been dominant in the first four games!” Johnson said on Twitter.
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from Johnson’s pick is that he believes Curry should win Finals MVP no matter the outcome of the series. The last time a player was named Finals MVP when his team lost was in 1969—the year of the award’s inception.
