Jerry West won the first Finals MVP after losing the 1969 Finals.
No other player has ever won from the losing team. Lebron almost did once.
That's amazing. In Cricket there have been many instances when this is done.

It's usually pretty clear who should win MVP, but the voters definitely lean hard towards players from the winning team.

Who votes? Is there a jury or it's public involved as well?

It's a small group of media members and they make some weird choices when the answer isn't obvious. For example, Steph Curry only won Finals MVP once out of his four titles and he was the most valuable player all four times.

So definitely a rugged election if media does it. Haha

I don't actually think it's rigged. You can tell from what they say on air that they're understanding of the game is pretty superficial.
