Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the top scorer in the NBA 2025 finals.
City Oloma – Everything is now to be won – the championship and the MVP prize of the NBA final. And now we can see who has the longest weapons on Sunday for match 7 (8 and ABC)) To reach these riches and tear off all the loot from victory.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? Jalen Williams? Tyrese Haliburton? Pascal Siakam? These are the rides with a strong climbing on this last episode of the MVP final scale. Or maybe a disruptor arrives, the game of his life and shakes the vote?
The next and last quarters of the series will be revealing. It is a game that will be heavier in the MVP pursuit than the previous six. This is where the reputation is made or damaged. This is when someone grabs the moment and does it without fear of failure. This mentality separates the MVP from the pack. You need a player who desperately wants to become a permanent part of history.
The mentality, talent and yes, luck. If everything is aligned on Sunday for someone on this scale, his MVP complaint will be without debate.
Statistics namely: TJ McConnell, n ° 5 on this scale, has more flights in the NBA final (14 to six games) than in the three combined qualifying series (five, more than 16 games).
What they say: “A match for everything you’ve dreamed of. If you win it, you get everything. If you lose it, you don’t get anything. It’s just as simple.” – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the challenges at hand for match 7.
1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder
2025 NBA Statistical finals: 30.5 pts, 4.5 Reb, 4.5 AST
His case: Aside from a bad match 6, Gilgeous-Alexander maintains pole position for this price if OKC claims the championship. In this situation, the MVP would be his to lose, because to win match 7, OKC will undoubtedly need a player who responded to this bell all season and for a large part of the playoffs.
Gilgeous-Alexander is the top scorer in this series and among flight leaders. He had a bad game, a soft game and the others were superb. The motivation to become champion for the first time and add significantly to his rich case of trophy in 2025 should bring out of his best.
2. Jalen Williams, Oklahoma City Thunder
2025 NBA Statistical finals: 24.2 pts, 5.2 Reb, 3.7 AST
His case: Its 40 pointer in match 5 remains the largest score explosion in the series, and its role as Co-Star is already classifying in the final. Like his teammates, Williams comes out of a fight of match 6, but for him, it was an aberration. Its impact at the two ends was invaluable for the Thunder and did wonders for its basketball credibility.
Williams is only 24 years old, which makes his few triples understandable and his many admirable contributions. He is a star in manufacturing and, with a robust 7 match, could make an interesting MVP debate between him and Gilgeous-Alexander.
3. Pascal Ships, Indiana Pacers
2025 NBA Statistical finals: 19.8 pts, 8.3 Reb, 4.0 AST
Tyrese Haliburton offers a flight and delivers a pass without look to Pascal Siakam, who slams him at home on Jalen Williams.
His case: He is the top scorer and rebounder of the Pacers and has his number called each time the Indiana needs something. Siakam was a handful for OKC and is just behind Nikola Jokić and Anthony Edwards in terms of larger threats from this best rated defense of the Thunder.
Siakam won the MVP of the conference finals when the Pacers ousted the Knicks and position themselves to grasp another if Indiana wins match 7. This is the difference. If this happens, his arrival from Toronto automatically becomes one of the biggest additions in the NBA in the past 20 years.
4. Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana Pacers
2025 NBA Statistical finals: 14.8 pts, 5.3 Reb, 6.8 AST
Triple deep.
Clever finished.

His case: If it is not for a premature veal strain, it would be higher on this list. Nevertheless, Haliburton remains a favorite because his global game in this series wins in his match 5 marked with four points.
With a sparkling 7 match, Haliburton can claim the MVP of the finals, and taking into account his sequence of heroism in the playoffs, he is certainly capable of dramatic. It all depends on his health and if he still has a big game in his bag.
5. TJ McConnell, Indiana Pacers
2025 NBA Statistical finals: 11.3 pts, 2.3 interceptions, 4.5 AST
TJ’s historical game from all angles 👀
Joined Robert Horry with the only games of the final 10p / 5A / 5R / 4S out of the bench since 1973-74 🤯🤯
What has McConnell in reserve for match 7 Sunday ??? pic.twitter.com/vubbuwxrce

His case: McConnell came out of the bench, went turbo the last two games and put the pacers in a position to win the two. They only succeeded in a split, without fault of McConnell, whose energy in this series is used to raise his team and to change the tempo of the games.
He had moments of gold – stealing inbulnaire passes, leading for mid -range riders – and provided Pacers with a certain insurance for Haliburton and other Pacers guards when they became fresh. If he makes winning games of match 7 Sunday, he will certainly collect votes for series MVP.
