If I’d had a Finals MVP vote, I would have cast it for LeBron James. I would have been in the minority, but to me he was clear and away the best player in the series — heck, it’s not even an interesting series without him. We’ve already laid out LeBron’s case.
Andre Iguodala — who won the trophy — was with me. From Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group.
Andre Iguodala to KNBR on Finals MVP: "I thought LeBron was going to get it."

Iguodala was not a terrible choice. He would have been third on my list — Stephen Curry was ahead of him for me — but Iguodala was a great narrative. And so long as you let media members vote, the guy with the story will always win.
