There is no FMVP in the first three championships! No teammates won the championship twice, Kobe Curry is the only second in history

This summer, discussions about Kobe and Curry's historical status were once very hot, because some US media ranked Curry in the tenth place in history when evaluating the historical status of players, and Kobe was squeezed out by Curry. Kobe has always been regarded as the top ten goalkeepers in history, and whether Curry can currently rank among the top ten in history remains to be discussed.

It is worth mentioning that Kobe and Curry's main career achievements are indeed not much different. Kobe has won a total of 5 championships, two FMVPs, one MVP, and two scoring champions. Curry has won 4 championships in his career, two MVPs, one FMVP, and two scoring champions.

Overall, Kobe has one more championship, one FMVP, and one less MVP than Curry. In addition, Kobe's other honors in his career, such as the Best Team and All-Star, are more than Curry, so it is reasonable to have a higher historical status than Curry.

Kobe and Curry have one thing in common, that is, they did not win the FMVP in the first three championships in their careers, and they did not win the first FMVP until the fourth championship. It is because there is a little less FMVP, so both Kobe and Curry's historical status have been greatly affected. Otherwise, Kobe is expected to enter the top five in history and Curry can also enter the top ten in history.

The reason why Kobe and Curry missed the FMVP in the first three championships is that they had a teammate who was stronger than them at that time. Kobe formed an OK combination with O'Neal in the early stage of his career and successfully won three consecutive championships. Although Kobe's personal performance was also excellent, he was not as good as O'Neal at his peak, so he didn't get a single FMVP, while O'Neal completed the feat of three consecutive FMVPs.

Curry failed to win the championship in 2015, but unexpectedly lost to Iguodala, but in terms of data, Curry's performance in the finals is worthy of FMVP. Curry did not win the FMVP in 2017 and 2018 because Durant performed better than him in the finals.

Interestingly, although Kobe and Curry both have three championships that have not won the FMVP, both of them led the team to win the championship without the 75 superstars, and are the only two players in history who have done this many times.

Kobe led the Lakers to two consecutive championships in 2009 and 2010. Although there were helpers like Gasol at that time, Gasol was not the top 75 superstars. Curry led the Warriors to win the championship in 2015. Durant had not joined yet, so there were no 75 superstars in the team, and Thompson and Zhu Meng were not selected for the 75th National Congress. In 2022, after Durant left, Curry led the Warriors to win the championship again and finally won the FMVP.
