By the way, the two MVPs didn't get Steve Nash in that list, and I named a bunch of guys.

In this series, going into Game 7, he...
was having the third least efficient from a field goal percentage standpoint series by any reigning MVP ever behind only Derrick Rose and Allen Iverson in series the year they won MVP when those guys were, even when they were winning MVPs, not very efficient players.
