A reporter suggested to Steve Kerr that there’s “legitimate chatter” Wiggins could take home the MVP award rather than Curry.

SAN FRANCISCO — Andrew Wiggins’ Game 5“After tonight’s performance, there’s legitimate chatter that Wiggins should be in contention for the NBA Finals MVP award,” a reporter told Warriors coach Steve Kerr, in an eventual question about Wiggins’ star turn.The NBA Finals MVP award — and this Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy — is Steph Curry’s to lose.

It’s drawn curiosity from the get-go of this series simply because Curry didn’t win that honor during his five straight Finals appearances from 2015-19, which included three title wins. It’s the one honor missing from the Hall of Fame resume of basketball’s greatest shooter ever, or so goes the chatter around the hardwood.

Once Curry dropped 43 in Boston’s TD Garden for a Game 4 win that swung the series momentum back to the Warriors, it seemed a fait accompli the Bill Russell Trophy would be his, possibly even if the Dubs lost the series.
