If Haliburton makes a game winner in a game 7 with just 5pts total

In this hypothetical (and comically realistic scenario).. if Haliburton makes a game winner in a game 7 with just 5pts (2/10 FGA w 7 assists ) total and Pascal Siakam gets his usual ~20+pts/8reb/4ast.. Who do you give Finals MVP to?

Finals MVP? More like GOAT of all time

i mean what makes it Hard is you have the reliable siakam on one Hand who played Well every game and then you have haliburton who had his ups and downs. but i think what we learned is of haliburton sucked, the Pacers didnt win. co-mvps?

Having an iconic moment that will be remembered for a long time vs being the most reliable in a 7 game series.. I think Haliburton should get Finals MVP if he pulls it off just by clutch factor alone.

But T.J. McConnell isn't in the poll.

It's also pretty common the last few seasons that there wasn't a clearr finals MVP. Personally I see Siakam as pretty clean cut candidate he is 1st to 3rd on his team in every major category. As long as he doesn't have a bad game 7, while Haliburton has a monster game I'd say it's a pretty clear decision.

Pascal deserves it purely off having one of the nastiest dunks in playoff history

Did Robert Horry ever get close to winning finals MVP?

Probably Siakim. He was more consistent than Hali.
Hali has more clutch moments tho.

If TJ McConnel has another great game off of the bench. Like 20 points, 3 steals etc.
Hell! Give it to TJ lol

Should be Pascal in a landslide. Haliburton getting 25% even with a small sample size is ludicrous.

It happened so fast. I need to see 20 more replays to truly appreciate it.

over which top 10 player ever? Duncan, Hakeem or Shaq?

If the Pacers win game 7 and Haliburton only has 5 points and Siakam has 20ish... it means there's a chance someone else went off for 40+. I think that person would have a shot at FMVP.

But between the 2, Hailburton. It should be Siakam in this scenario but I don't see them getting it right.

Pacers fans would love to find out.

Game winners are overrated just like triple doubles.

It's still TJ McConnell for me.

I think it would appropriate if this Pacers team has co-MVPs. They are a truly unselfish group but Pascal deserves it most.

SA37 · Post #20 » by **SA37** » Fri Jun 20, 2025 4:32 pm

I don't think there is a clear MVP on either team, so maybe what is appropriate would be co-MVPs

If OKC wins it, I'd give it to Jalen Williams and Lou Dort, in that order.

If the Pacers win, I'd give it to Nembhard and Siakam, in that order.

In this hypothetical who would u give Finals MVP
