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.
Stein: 勇士以Curry為中心，他們現在仍然如此。 但我最終選擇了IGGY，因為他成為先發
後改變了這個系列賽。 外界都忘記了他在G6中得到了25分。 人們也忘了勇士系列賽1-2落
後的爛攤子，面對沒有Love和KI的實力佔下風的弱隊，而那樣的騎士贏得了兩場比賽，取得
系列賽的領先。但IGGY改變了這個系列賽，這就是為什麼他得到了我的選票。
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.
Lowe:如果我要投票給勇士，我會投給Curry。 我只是認為LeBron所做的，他讓沒有KI和Lov
e的騎士以2-1領先，並且在四場失利中保持了他們的比賽競爭力，這是非常了不起的表現。
太多人關注在LeBron在那個系列賽中的投籃命中率並不是很好。 但那個數據也不糟糕，而
他幾乎做了所有的事情。
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.
Berger: 對我來說，LeBron在前三場比賽後是選票的領先者。 他在45分鐘內打出44分8籃板
6助攻、50分鐘內打出39分16籃板11助攻、46分鐘內打出40分12籃板8助攻4抄截的表現，他
怎麼可能不是呢？ 而Curry在前三場過後都是勇士隊內最好的球員……但離系列賽最佳球員
還差得遠。 當Kerr在G4將IGGY放進先發陣容後，這個系列賽發生了變化，勇士以2-2追平系
列賽，避免了可怕的1-3落後。 所以在那個時候，在我的MVP評選中，Curry是遠遠落後於Le
Bron。
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.
Lloyd:如果騎士能打到第七場，把系列賽拉長（就像Jerry West當年在輸球的情況下贏得總
決賽MVP那樣），不管結果如何，LeBron都會得到我的選票。 事實上，騎士在六場過後失利
，並以三連敗結束了系列賽，這使得他從我的選票中消失了。 然後就變成了Curry和IGGY之
間的抉擇。 事實上，整輪系列賽都取決於IGGY是否進入先發陣容。 當IGGY不在場上的時候
，Lebron的命中率達到了44%，騎士比勇士多得了30分。 當IGGY在場上的時候，他是Lebron
的主要防守球員，Lebron的命中率為38%，勇士比騎士多得55分。 沒有IGGY，騎士就會贏得
那輪系列賽。 這一點對我來說很有價值，即使它不符合現今的輿論導向。
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.
Simmons:我幾乎沒有考慮過Curry，但我肯定是在為NBA總決賽最佳球員還是最有價值球員而
投票感到糾結。 LeBron顯然是這輪系列賽中最好的球員，而在獲勝的隊伍裡IGGY是最有價
值的球員。 Curry最終不是我選擇的一部分，即使我知道是他讓勇士達到了40年來從未達到
的水準。 在那輪七戰四勝的賽制的系列賽中，他根本不是最有影響力的球員之一，我相信
這就是我進行投票時考慮的原因。
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.
Amick:三場比賽之後，感覺LeBron就像是在摧毀勇士；更重要的是，Curry在這輪對位中受
到了重創，他在G2打得非常糟糕。 他在G1和G3的數據看起來不錯，但在防守端，他受到了
一些批評。 有一件事被忽視了，當Bogut在場上的時候，這是在歡迎騎士利用TT上前包夾，
這讓Curry變得很艱難。 所以，當IGGY在G4進入先發陣容時，這不僅僅是在防守端限制了Le
Bron，而且在進攻端，他還拉開了空間，讓Curry打得更輕鬆。
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.
Van Gundy:我認為這很明顯(投詹姆斯）。 然後下一個明確的人選是Curry。 但你也會為IG
GY這樣的人感到高興，他有一個偉大的職業生涯，他發揮得很好。 我的第二順位應該是Cur
ry。 有時候，當你沒有達到預期時——這是他為自己創造的高得難以置信的期望，你就會
被過度審查。 我認為這在他的職業生涯中反覆發生。
