LeBron James has performed very well in the 2018 NBA Finals, but his team has not done enough. Therefore, the Cavs are down 3-0 to the Warriors after losing Game 3 110-102 in Cleveland on Wednesday night.
After three games, James is averaging 37.6 PPG, 9 REB, 11 AST in these NBA Finals. He has been special, and some believe he should be Finals MVP, even if the Cavs lose the series. One person who believes LeBron should be Finals MVP is ESPN’s Max Kellerman.

The onlu player to win FInals MVP in a losing effort was Jerry West in 1969.
As great as LeBron has played, he should not be Finals MVP. That should be given to somebody from the winning team. After two games, it was Steph Curry, but after struggling in Game 3, that could change. Kevin Durant, who had 43 points in Game 3, could overtake Curry if he has another strong performance in Game 4.
Sorry, Max, LeBron does not deserve MVP if he his team loses.
