In the 2024 playoffs, Brown was undoubtedly the biggest winner. He first helped the Celtics reach the finals and won the MVP in the Eastern Conference Finals. Then he helped the Celtics win the 18th championship in team history and successfully won the FMVP. Tatum is the recognized leader of the Celtics, and Brown is just the second leader of the Celtics. However, Brown also won the MVP and FMVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, but Tatum got nothing. There is a reason why Brown beat Tatum to get the MVP and FMVP in the Eastern Conference Finals. His performance is indeed better than Tatum. In the Eastern Conference Finals, Brown averaged 29.8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and Tatum averaged 30.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game. Although Tatum's data is more comprehensive than Brown, the two scored similarly. Moreover, Brown's performance at critical moments was better than Tatum, and he scored at least 24 points in each game, especially in the second game, which contributed 40 points, so the FMVP in the Eastern Conference Finals gave Brown.

In the finals, Brown averaged 20.8 points, 4 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game, while Tatum averaged 22.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. In terms of data, Tatum is still better, but in comparison, Brown's performance is more stable and powerful, especially in the third game, which contributed 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Although Tatum scored 30+ in both games, he scored less than 20 points in the other two games, so he lost to Brown in the FMVP competition.

In this year's playoffs, Siakam, who is also the second in command of the team, also defeated the big boss Halliburton and won the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals. Moreover, if Siakam can help the Pacers win the championship in the tiebreak, he will likely win the FMVP. Compared with Brown last season, he will become another team leader who has won the MVP and FMVP in the East Finals in a row.

After this year's playoffs, Siakam has always been the most stable player in the Pacers team, averaging 20.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, with the highest score in the team. In the Eastern Conference Finals, Siakam averaged 24.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists per game, and Halliburton averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds, 10.5 assists per game. The data of the two people are actually not much different. Siakam also defeated Halliburton with a slight advantage and won the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the finals, Siakam's performance was still very stable, averaging 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game. Halliburton is not that stable, averaging 15 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game. As long as Siakam can perform stably in the tiebreak battle and help the Pacers win the first championship in the team history, there is hope of defeating Halliburton again and winning the FMVP.

For Halliburton, even if he cannot win the MVP and FMVP in the Eastern Conference Finals, as long as he can successfully win the championship, it will be very successful. Of course, Halliburton still has the chance to win the FMVP, it depends on what kind of performance he can perform in the tiebreak and whether the Pacers can win the championship.
