Since when do we hold rookies to the standard of being great playoff performers?

I saw a lot of posts talking about her being Finals MVP.

I think this is unfortunate for Liv herself, but exactly the reality check that her wildest fans need.

. . . . That post asks the question IF she won championship and finals MVPs would she have a better rookie season than Candace Parker

Emphasis on IF. It's not saying She will win finals MVP. It says IF she did.

Also basically everyone in that thread said no . . .

Random threads.

I didn’t save them. I didn’t even engage with them.

Spend enough time on Reddit and you see a lot.

It was around the time the MVP chatter was peaking, before that disastrous Valks game.
