Chuck Howley of Dallas , Super Bowl V, it is rare but when the game is marred by incompetent play like that Super Bowl turnover after turnover, even the long touchdown pass from Unitas to Mackey was tipped twice before Mackey got his hands on it ,in cases like this I can see a losing player winning it.
Albert King won most outstanding player of the ACC tournament, he was on the losing team scoring 30+ points each game, it's pretty rare though when this happens.

agree. Nice to know we are back on track, Journey:lolBIG:
I call this the Tony Campbell theroy. I remember back when the Pistons won their first of back to back titles in 1989 and Tony Campbell couldn't get on the floor for them because they were too good. The next season they lost him in the expansion draft and he started for Minnestoa (I think it was them but it was an expansion team) and lead the team in scoring and I am sure he was their MVP.
My point is first and foremost you have to give extra special credit to the players on the winning team as they sacrificed their indiviual stats to share in all phases of the game with the other good players (who helped them win) on their team. Maybe a guy like Oden would have only put up 12and 6 if he was on Florida last nite.
Basketball is the one sport where playing time and how good your team mean everything and you cannot measure how good players are totally on stats (please no Ozzie Smith referances here:lol: ). Look around the NBA and there are tons of examples of guys who have given up big numbers for the good of the team and they are more valuable for it.
