It's a two-way race. It's a two-way race between Oklahoma City Thunder's absolute ace Shai Gilzer Alexander and Indiana Pacers Tyreece Haliburton.
Still, Gilzer Alexander is ahead. He is the best player this season to win the regular league MVP.
He is also active in the playoffs every day.
There is also controversy over being a free throw merchant, but there is no such appearance in the final. I got relatively many free throws for excessive action, but I rarely have that problem in the final against Indiana.
He has a strong impact and is an absolute powerhouse in the playoffs.
Until the second game, he was selected as the 0th MVP candidate.
CBS Sports in the U.S. said on the 12th (Korea time) 'Shai Gilzer Alexander' as the No. 1 candidate for the final MVP.
The gap between the first and second places is quite wide.
He is an MVP who usually comes from the winning team. There is also a background that Oklahoma City is clearly dominant in this final series.
However, it has completely changed since Game 3. The first place is Halliburton.
Indiana picked up Game 3. He beat Oklahoma City 116-107 in Game 3 of the 2025-2026 NBA Finals at Gain Bridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
He started leading with two wins and one loss. Halliburton also performed very well on the day. Dependence on Gilzer Alexander still beat Oklahoma.
Indiana put Halliburton's transition and match clutch capabilities ahead.
Experts' evaluation of Oklahoma's absolute dominance has begun to change. There is a growing voice that Indiana is not only ahead of the series with a 2-1 record, but also has taken control of the flow.
Naturally, the MVP ranking changed.
