I'll be giving a slight advantage to Parker. Green is incredible throughout the series but Parker has been taking Chalmers to school and destroying the Heat's defense therefore opening some spots for Green to shoot. Overall, the Spurs are competing like the Spurs further fortifying the statement that it takes a team to win a team game. Therefore I vote for T-Mac.
Has to be Green, if Maxwell or Kenny had even one night like him, we would've beaten the Knicks much earlier
Pops realize that he has Manu and McGrady on his bench. Decides to start manu and never play mcgrady today. Great coach.
Co-MVP Green, Leonard, Parker Otherwise Green. Leading scorer, NBA record in threes on otherworldly efficiency at TS 80% while also being a great defender. Parker is the offensive lynch-pin but he's had a relatively mediocre series. Replace Danny Green's name with Ray Allen or Reggie Miller and this wouldn't even be a discussion. He plays his role perfectly, and the Spurs are a team of 'role-players' playing to their strengths.
I voted for Green but I'm ok with Parker winning it. Why? Because the primary focus of Heat's defenses were Parker and Duncan. With them efficiently cutting through Heat's defense and passing it to whoever's free, this case, it's Green. other Spur's players are having good looks at the basket. Without Parker, defenses can zero-in to Green and other players thus making them less effective.
i think u guys forget duncan is averaging a quiet ( as always) 15.6 ppg, 11.2 rpg and 1.8 bpg. He is the still the most important player of this team and i think this should be his 4 finals mvp. Danny green is shootign the lights out but not much more. On D he sometimes blocks lebron and sometimes he just get caugh looking at the ball and his man burns him. TP has been really incosistent. The only other guy i will consider is Leonard. The guy is averaging 12 pgg, 10.2 rpg and 2 spg while shooting 49% from the field while defending lebron all game and forcing the mvp to his worst shooting series of the playoff of course his had a lot of help but still he is the primary defender).
TP all the way. danny green is spectacular, but he is not somebody for whom miami creates their defense strategies. TP's playmaking is the #1 reason why danny gets these open shots. TP was clearly best spurs player during all playoff series - vs. lakers, clippers and grizzles. 2 bad scoring games should not take away his MVP tital of the finals. he still was the core in spurs offense.

Historically, the Finals MVP usually goes to the best player on the best team. Something I don't really have a problem with since, while a player like Danny Green's contributions may have made the difference in one series, Duncan/Parker were still the ones that carried the team up until that point.
Didn't Parker win an MVP for only being good in the finals, while Duncan carried them every other round?
Danny Green and it really isn't close. Greatest and the most unexpected shooting performance ever in an NBA Finals.
