When he won his third NBA Finals MVP in seven years, Duncan joined Michael Jordan (six), Shaquille O'Neal (three) and Magic Johnson (three) as the only ones to have accomplished the trifecta. you say Manu Ginobili should have gotten it? Would the Spurs have won without Duncan?

Duncan had one good game in that entire series. Of course they wouldn't have won without Duncan, but it was Manu, not Duncan who the Pistons couldn't keep up with. Sure, Duncan's their star, and he got them there in the first place, but Manu was the hero of that series. The Lakers wouldn't have won the championship in 1988 without Magic either, but Worthy was the man in that series, and was rightfully awarded Finals MVP.
