• Naudingiausi NBA finalų serijos žaidėjai buvo pradėti rinkti ir nominuoti tik nuo 1969 m. 
• Daugiausiai kartų šį trofėjų iškovojo Bulls legenda Michael Jordan – viso 6 kartus. Karalius Lebronas Jamesas naudingiausiu tapo 4 kartus. Na, o dar 3 legendiniai krepšininkai Magic Johnson, Shaquille O Neal ir Tim Duncan finalų MPV tapo po 3 kartus. 
• Vos 5 krepšininkai turėjo garbės būti apdovanotais naudingiausiais finalo žaidėjais, kurie gimė ne JAV. 1994/95 m. 2 kartus tai pavyko padaryti iš Nigerijos kilusiam Hakeem Olajuwon. 2007 m. Tony Parkeriui iš Prancūzijos. 2011 m. Dirk Nowitzki iš Vokietijos. 2021 m. Gianiui Antetokounmpo – nigeriečiui atstovaujančiam Graikijai. Na ir 2023 m. tai pasiekti pavyko Nikola Jokičiui kilusiam iš Serbijos.
