Saw someone say that the Joker is the first in history to lead in points, rebounds, and assists during the finals. That's fucking mad.

Yep Jokic was Finals MVP.
A very likeable bunch the Nuggets - good stuff.
Pretty awesome for Nuggets fans who have been waiting nearly half a century for this

Happy ending for Murray, who feared he would be traded when he was injured in the bubble. And Aaron Gordon can be known for balling out to help win a finals series instead of that slam dunk contest

https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/2015-nba-finals-cavaliers-vs-warriors.html
LeBron averaged 35.8 points (Steph next with 26), 13.3 rebounds (Tristan Thompson next with 13), and 8.8 assists (Steph next with 6.3)
And yes @mariner4life , I know his team lost in 6, no need to point it out to me
Complete travesty that Iggy got Finals MVP - fine to only select from the winning team if that's the deal, but anyone who thinks Iggy was more valuable than Steph in that series doesn't know anything about basketball.
Edit - LeBron repeated the feat and led all 3 categories the next year too, winning in 7 games (thanks largely to Steph's poor series and the Draymond nut-kick)

Was awesome seeing the likes of Peyton Manning, Alex English and other Denver faithful so happy.
Joker’s influence on each game was very clear, even the one they dropped. Easy decision.
The stars and support players played better than their Heat counterparts. Shame Herro wasn’t playing because he would’ve made a big difference. A guy that can create his own shot, shoot the 3 and a reliable ball carrier. They effectively had to play a combination of guys to try and get what Herro had been delivering this season. Still think Denver would’ve won it, but it may have been a closer and deeper series.
Butler looked cooked at the end and that turnover pass and ill advised 3 when down by 3 and still 24+ seconds left. His team mates had set up the play too for him and cleared the right side of the floor for him to go 1-on-1.
Very happy for the Nuggets.

That’s stoooopid !!!
I mean, it’s a great achievement, but you shouldn’t be penalised for sweeping someone…

Speaking of stats, there have been 5 different NBA champions in the last 5 years, and 4 first-time winners in the last 13 seasons.

Maybe signs that the draft system is working? Also there is so much money to be made outside of basketball contracts, the players don't necessarily feel the need to stay in big markets like they used to

That's pretty lenient. Safe to say Ja is running out of chances
Although the players union have come out and said it’s way too harsh and “arbitrary”. Yeah nah.

I guess they have to be seen to be supporting him. But he's got to get his head out of his arse.
He isn't even gangster, he's got no excuses -
Big trade. Beal to Suns.
Some interesting parts to the trade.
Beal had a No Trade Clause and apparently turned down other trades.
Beal's agent is the father of the Suns CEO.
Wizards are an awful organisation - signed Beal to a Supermax and then trade him for pennies on the dollar.
