In past years, the Memphis Grizzlies’ Most Valuable Player can vary among numerous players. With some players gone, who will be Memphis’ MVP this year?
The Most Valuable Player award is a prestigious award, but when determining a team’s MVP, it can carry various meanings.
For the common fan, it’s usually the team’s best player. However, it can also be the player who helps the team win games.
Take the 2015 Warriors for example. Obviously, Steph Curry was the best player on the roster and the league’s MVP. However, when the Finals rolled around, Andre Iguodala came away with Finals’ MVP for his role in the “Death Lineup” — covering LeBron James.
This year, for the Memphis Grizzlies, it’s easily going to be between Marc Gasol and Mike Conley. You can flip a coin on who’s better and who helps this team win. Both players bring a special skillset to this team that helps the Grizzlies remain a playoff staple.
Conley is a steady floor general who has unleashed an uncanny ability to score the basketball. Marc Gasol is one of the least talked about ‘unicorns’ in basketball as he can shoot from deep at an elite level, protect the rim at a Defensive Player of the Year level and pass like a point guard.
