The results of the selection are controversial, the ability is not different, who is the core of the team?

For Chinese fans, the NBA of the 1970s may be relatively unfamiliar, when the league did not have a dominant team like the eight-time champion Celtics, nor did it lack legendary stars such as Magic, Bird and Jordan, who led the trend of a generation, so few people studied this history, in fact, there was a controversial FMVP selection in the 1976 Finals.

That year's Finals took place between the Celtics and the Suns, and the whole process was very intense, especially in the Battle of King's Mountain, where the two sides fought for three extra-time matches to divide the victory and defeat, and finally won the Celtics by two points, and the Green Army then took advantage of the victory to win the G6 87-80 victory to win the championship that year, and Joe White lifted the MVP trophy, he was also the first point guard to receive this honor.

White's performance in the Finals was quite outstanding, and he fought for 60 minutes in the life-and-death fifth game, with 33 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. The series's statistics were 21.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, a team-high in both points and assists.

But another core member of the team, Dave Cowans, is not bad, averaging just slightly inferior to White at 20.5 points per game, and he can also grab 16.5 rebounds per night. More importantly, is the defensive core of the Celtics and the soul of the team, and White of the Battle of King Mountain played amazingly.

But Coons's performance was also crucial, he had 26 points, 19 rebounds and 4 assists, in the G6 finale battle, scored 21 points, 17 rebounds and 3 steals, and also led the team to play a small climax in the last moment, and finally sealed the win, compared with White's 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

is the barometer of the Celtics, and high-level statistics such as plus-minus and victory contribution points show that he is the core of this team and the player who plays best in the Finals. As the team's big brother, Havlicek has some regrets that Cousins did not win the final FMVP. In a later interview, the star publicly said that it was crucial for the team to keep Dave on the pitch.
