Why Iguodala was MVP of the NBA Finals?

BY PAUL BURROWES

Thirty-one-year-old Andre Iguodala was deservedly named NBA Finals MVP as he finished with the best Player Plus-Minus statistics.
Iggy, an 11-year veteran of the NBA who completed his second season with the Warriors, topped the six-game finals with net points of +59, edging out teammates Stephen Curry, +47, and Draymond Green, +38.

Plus-minus measures the point differential for the team when the player is on the court, which is the difference in the points scored for and the points scored against.
This is largely a team statistic, but when looked at individually can show how the team performs when a particular player is on court.
The one drawback of plus/minus is that it is influenced by the other players on the court as well. This statistic is useful on a multiple game-by-game basis, determining whether or not certain players have success when they are on the court together.
Regular season plus-minus statistics show that Curry was boss with +911 and was named MVP for the 2014-15 season, beating teammates Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.
No wonder Golden State were the team to beat this season.
