Official Update FMVP Rankings: Alexander Leads the Expected Grand Slam Jay is second and Harry is fourth

On June 18, Beijing time, the NBA's official website updated the latest ranking of FMVP (Finals MVP) after G5 of the Finals, and Alexander continued to lead the way, and the advantage was obvious. According to the official website, if Alexander leads the team to win the championship and win the Finals MVP, he will achieve this season's Grand Slam achievements: All-Star starter, NBA All-NBA First Team, scoring champion, regular season MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP, Finals MVP and championship. Here are the specific rankings and analysis –

1. Alexander, Thunder

Finals stats: 32.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists

Reason for candidacy: Game 5 was Shay's most comprehensive game of the series, contributing 31 points, 10 assists, four blocks and two steals. He stepped up again, maintained a high level of performance on both ends of the pitch and remained at the heart of this emerging champions.

The sixth could be a convincing finisher. If he is "bloodthirsty" enough, he may take his performance up another notch. In previous series against the Nuggets and Timberwolves, he has proven himself to be good at finishing games.

2. Jalen Williams, Thunder

Finals stats: 25.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists

Reason for candidacy: Jalen Williams smashed the Pacers, scored a career-high 40 points in the playoffs, and led the Thunder to their fifth win in the Finals. When the team's second leader scores 40 points in Game 5, he's a natural contender for MVP. It was one of the most important games in Thunder history, and he delivered on his expectations. His previous performances have been just as convincing: Williams has averaged 31 points (51 percent shooting) and six rebounds per game in the last three games. Over the past week, his growth, maturity and aggressiveness have been evident. His time has come, and he knows it.

3. Siakam, Pacers

Finals stats: 20.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists

Reason for the candidacy: As a consistent source of energy for the Pacers, Siakam forced the Thunder to target him with the strongest defense. Every time the Thunder throw a bag on a player, it signifies respect for this top defensive team, and Siakam often enjoys that "treatment".

When the Pacers need to score, he's the most logical option, especially now that Haliburton is suffering a leg injury. In Game 6, will Siakam be able to carry a heavier offensive load? The Pacers' season may depend on whether he can score 30 or even 40 points — and he has the ability to do so.

4. Haliburton, Pacers

Finals stats: 15.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists

Reason for candidacy: Haliburton's persistence through injury is admirable, but the physical limitations of Game 5 limited the Pacers at every turn. He needs the "divine blessing" of the god of medicine and basketball to recover in time for Game 6. If these "holy forces" show mercy to the Pacers, Haliburton will be back in shape and motivated enough to play the performance he wants. Obviously, if Haliburton wants to win the Finals MVP, he needs to make a double comeback: one is to bounce back from a slump of only four points in the game, and the other is to lead the Pacers to complete a winning streak in Game 6 and Game 7.

5. Caruso, Thunder

Finals stats: 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 steals

Reason for candidacy: He was stunning and impactful in two of the three games the Thunder won, scoring 20 points in two off the bench (he never scored 20 points in a single game during the regular season). In addition, he contributed five steals in a game, helping the Thunder complete defensive rounds and forcing the Pacers into turnovers.

He's the highest steals per game of any bench player in Finals history, and he's the only one on this list — a testament to the Thunder's trust in him and their willingness to provide him with start-level minutes. Whenever the Thunder needed to raise their momentum or change the tempo of the game, Caruso was always there.
