Nah, whatever happens in game 7, Shai or Williams will be finals MVP. They're not giving finals MVP to scorer averaging 19.8 per game.
Didnt Igoudala win finals MVP with limited scoring and just DNah, I love Pascal and hope he wins. But he would be a suspect as fuck finals MVP if he doesn't have some sort of legacy game 7. If it's just another 19/8 Pascal game, it will be worse than Jaylen Brown's MVP from last year.

League sources say that the Suns' Durant discussions in recent days have likewise featured attempts to coax, say, Toronto to part with its No. 9 overall pick on Wednesday night. Or Minnesota's No. 17 selection. Or Miami's turn at No. 20.
Among the dynamics apparently not working in Phoenix's favor: We can confirm our Sportsnet colleague Michael Grange's reporting Friday that Toronto — initially presumed to be willing to part with Jakob Poeltl if it meant landing Durant — maintains now that it would not even surrender Poeltl in a deal for the future Hall of Famer.
It remains to be seen how firm that stance is, but league sources say that the Raptors and their very underrated center have mutual interest in hammering out a contract extension in the near future if no trade intervenes.
The Raptors, as we've seen during various recent transaction windows, aren't merely a Durant suitor but have indicated that they're open to various trades in conjunction with a Durant deal as next week's draft approaches. Toronto continues to signal that it's open to moving down from No. 9 in Wednesday's first-round order, sources say, while the Raptors have also made calls to determine what it would take to obtain a second lottery pick. What seems clear: The Raptors have convinced many rival teams that they want to be in position, no matter what, to be able to draft another center.
Like if you are holding back 9 and puddle, what is even there to talk about?
Teams are telling the Suns fuck off your not getting the haul you expectNothing, which is why I still think our "involvement" is being leaked by the Phoenix front office to try to get Houston, SAS, or Miami to give up what they don't want to give up.
There's an outside shot imo that we're involved as a 3rd team, but that's kind of the extent of it. I don't even really see the player we'd swap RJ for out there tbh.
Using us as bitches for Minny and others to pony up moreReally hoping we announce we’re out on KD.
