On December 10, Beijing time, in today's NBA midseason finals, the Lakers defeated the Pacers 123-109 and won the first midseason championship with a 7-0 record. James, on the other hand, averaged 26 per game in the midseason4 points, 8 rebounds, 7With 6 assists, he won the first midseason MVP in history.
So the question is, which one is more golden, which one is more golden, James's midseason MVP or Curry's Western Finals MVP?Curry won the first Western Conference MVP in NBA history in 2022. Interestingly, the only MVP James hasn't won so far is the MVP in the division finals, while Curry's only MVP he hasn't won is the midseason MVP.
First of all, there are some similarities between the two MVPs, such as the MVP in the midseason that needs to pass the test of 7 games to get, and the Western Conference Finals, which has a maximum of 7 games in a single series. For example, if you want to win the MVP in the mid-season, you must win the championship, and you need to go through two knockout games before winning the championship;And if you want to enter the Western Finals, you also need two rounds of elimination.
There are three differences. One is that the opponents in the 7 games of the MVP in the midseason may be different, while the opponents in the Western Conference finals in the playoffs are all the same. It's hard to say which one is more difficult, facing different opponents will encounter different defensive strategies, which requires players to adjust in time;In the face of the same opponent, you may be targeted.
The second is that the mid-season knockout round is a single-game system, and as long as you lose 1 game, you will not have a chance to win the MVP;The Western Conference Finals is a best-of-seven series, with certain games to lose.
The third is to win the mid-season MVP, which means that the team has won the mid-season championship, and there will be no games in the future;And winning the MVP of the Western Finals is not the final championship, and there is still a finals to play later.
In fact, the answer to this question may not be the same in many people's minds, and it will be related to personal team preferences and player preferences. Those who like the Lakers and James may think that the MVP of the midseason is high, while those who like the Warriors and Curry may think that the MVP of the Western Conference finals is even higher.
Overall, as Su Qun said, "gold content" is just a descriptive word, and it doesn't have to be too much about more or less problems, just enjoy the basketball game.
