Did Ray Allen actually deserve the Finals MVP?

  Ray probably did deserve it, but Pierce was the team M|VP most consistently all season, and i'm happy to see him get it.

  I think the Truth deserved it, especially after what he did on the defensive end during the entire series.  He stepped up to the challenge on both sides of the ball.

    Ya but allen broke records for threes and played with low turnovers. Also allen played well defensively shutting down kobe too. He actually played kobe more than pierce did.

    I'm happy to see pierce get it too though...he also deserves it.

  I just think Pierce affected the series more, even on the offensive end by driving and dishing and setting up his teammates, and by locking up Kobe at key times, especially during the comeback game.  Ray had a monster series too, and his numbers were tight..  But what you said is true too, I don't think they could've gone wrong either way. Nice article.

  I think one can make compelling arguments for either player winning it. Pierce won it, and nobody rational would claim he didn't deserve it. The same could be said about Allen if he won it.

  Could this have been a Karl Malone/John Stockton type split award?

  That would have been cool.

  yeah I would have liked to see a split personally as well. That would have been the way to go. Maybe even give the Big Three the award. That would have been good for them to recognize that
