The Lakers won the series 4-2 and James earned his fourth Finals MVP nod.
Olynyk, the 6-foot-11, 240-pound forward from Kamloops, logged 15 minutes in Game 6, tallying nine points, seven rebounds and one block.
The South Kamloops secondary graduate’s team-high 24 points in a Game 2 loss were the most ever by a Canadian in the Finals.
Olynyk has a free-agency decision to make this off-season.
He can exercise his US $12.3 million player option to remain with the Heat for the 2020-2021 campaign or explore the possibilities of something bigger in free agency.
If Olynyk opts in with the Heat for next season, his total cash career earnings will be US $58,540,377, according to spotrac.com.
