A Finals MWP can never be a third banana
Worthy was Finals MVP, not Wilkes.
Edit: My bad Mixtim, I misunderstood your post when I responded. You weren't saying Jamaal was a Finals MVP...note to self: drink more coffee before firing off a post in the morning.
Wouldn’t that make Kareem third banana and Wilkes fourth banana?
Was Byron Scott ever third banana or only fourth banana? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Glen Rice deserves a place on the list, even though it wasn't always pretty. Worked out better than Payton did, despite the flawed fit. But he was better than we remember. _________________ Smrek 2, Nevitt 1, Barkley 0

‘71/72 on a 69 win team that won 33 straight, Wilt scored 14.8, which was less than Goodrich and West who averaged mid to upper 20 ppg. He also had 19.8 rpg and although blocks weren’t a stat that was kept, he had plenty. In a 162-99 win over the Warriors & Nate Thurmond, he scored 30, had 20 rebs, & 12 blocked shots, while sitting out the 4th qtr. Jim McMillan scored more per game, but Wilt provided offense whenever he chose to, while he concentrated on defense at Coach Sharman’s request.
Was Elgin a third banana? I guess at the end of his career. Not in his prime. He scored 38 PPG in a season with 18 boards, another season with 35 / 20 / 5.
