Yes, he could snatch the MVP from SGA.
SGA has been a little late to the party for some of these games and Williams is the one who kept them in it as they worked on overtaking the Pacers.
Wouldnβt be surprised but first things first; OKC hasnβt won anything yet.
Theyβve at least got one more game to play.

lets not forget shai scored 38 in game one and jdubs awful efficiency is a big reason why they lost that game. plus shai carried the 4th quarter pretty much by himself in game 4
@sguper6912
June 19, 2025 at 7:22 pm
Itβs 100% SGA but Iβm ngl this goes 7 and SGA stinks it up game 6 & 7 and J Dubb goes for 40+ or 50 he can steal it. Even tho j dubb had 40 SGA still had 30+ ππ

SGA hands down what if Williams was the #1 option would the thunderless (untill they win a championship considering they had Westbrook HARDEN and KD) be in the same position in the championship SGA hands downs

If it was not for the 4th quarter take over of Shai in game for there would not be this question. Stop it.

2 reasonable takes and a clown show from Stephen A who just loves the sound of his own voice. Just like every segment with ESPN. Stephen A is so hard to watch

Jalen Williams kept them in game 4 and had 40 in game 5. Theyβll give it to SGA, but Iβd give it to Williams.
