Who is winning MVP if Indy wins this series? Pretend game 7 doesn’t exist.
Do they only give MVPs to a winner team's player?
reply
Jerry West won the first Finals MVP after losing the 1969 Finals.
No other player has ever won from the losing team. Lebron almost did once.

That's amazing. In Cricket there have been many instances when this is done.

It's usually pretty clear who should win MVP, but the voters definitely lean hard towards players from the winning team.

Who votes? Is there a jury or it's public involved as well?
reply
It's a small group of media members and they make some weird choices when the answer isn't obvious. For example, Steph Curry only won Finals MVP once out of his four titles and he was the most valuable player all four times.
Media. They have a panel of basketball media assigned to vote.
It's not a rule. They could give it to a player from the losing team but seems unlikely. Happened in NHL last year.

The whole team?

Can it be McConnell?

It's probably Siakam but I want it to be McConnell.

He sure feels like the MVP when he's on the court.
