One thing thats mildly annoying is that Brunson was clearly the MVP of game 5, which opened the door enough for the league to ignore that Anunoby was the MVP of games 1-4 and do their stupid “just give finals MVP to the best player on the winning team regardless of how he played in the series” shit
