D720 2017-2018 Finals MVP
Nikola Jokic

It was a tough call picking between Jokic and Kemba for the Finals MVP award. I toyed with naming them co-MVP's but where is the fun in that?

Jokic was at his best when it mattered. Game 5, 6, and 7.

His statement game saved the Knicks from an embarrassing elimination with a 24-5-4 game in a 1 point win in Game 5, he gave the Knicks a breath of life. He also added a steal and a block, while only having one turnover.

His 12-10-8 game was an integral part of the Knicks' Game 6 away beatdown of the Suns in a 99-81 lopsided win that saw him triple the assists of the Knicks' star "point guard" Kemba Walker.

He wrapped up the series, the championship, and the Finals MVP with another all around gem in the Knicks' 115-104 Game 7 victory. His 15-10-8 line, reminiscent of the Game 6 line, showed how this young man has become a general on the court for this year's Madison Square Garden team. When the ball goes through Jokic, you win.

Congratulations, Allan Houston for a great season and a great playoff run that (finally) went the distance!
