Because the Denver Nuggets<\/a> were eliminated in the opening round of the NBA Playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>, forward Cam Johnson<\/a> can only watch from afar, but he\u2019s letting fans in on who he believes the NBA Finals MVP will be when the series is all said and done. According to Johnson, Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> should take home the award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s their MVP at this point, for me, of the Finals,\u201d Johnson said via OldManAndThree on X. \u201cHe\u2019s been great, and in these two games, he\u2019s been great. Like, he has a very difficult task. You know, he\u2019s not the only one that they put on Wemby<\/a>, but it\u2019s a very difficult defensive assignment, and offensively, like, he\u2019s asserting himself but not anywhere outside the confines of what he\u2019s supposed to be doing. Spare maybe one deep three yesterday \u2013 like, everything he got was easy baskets that he created, or created baskets in flow. And you know, 21-13-4 on 8-of-12, that alone is a huge reason why they won the game. And so just the unselfishness, he\u2019s a big part of how connected they are\u2026he\u2019s a big part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through the first two games of the NBA Finals, Karl-Anthony Towns has averaged 19.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists, helping his club grab a commanding two game series lead.<\/p>\n
