So lets say Lebron averages like 40/12/10 for the rest of series and Cavs lose in 7

And assuming Curry is having an average series, scores 20-25 ppg.

Could Lebron become the 2nd losing MVP of the finals after Jerry West?

No. Cavs are up 2-1 with the home court advantage. If the Warriors come back to win the series, a Warrior will be FMVP.

If LeBron continued to put up these numbers all the way through game 7, I don't see how you couldn't give it to him.

No. Cavs are up 2-1 with the home court advantage. If the Warriors come back to win the series, a Warrior will be FMVP.

if 40% shooters who lead their teams to a loss deserve the award, then yes

[riseagainst]

if he literally averages a 40 point triple double for the whole series against one of the greatest finals teams ever, he is top 3 GOAT no question. If he manages to carry the Cavs to a win, he is #1, aka the GOAT.
