That's a very big if. The guy had his career high last night, and defended Lebron very well. It's hard to see him play like that on both ends of the court the rest of the series, but after the first two games, he had zero shot at MVP, at least now there is a chance. If the Spurs win, I think Duncan wins it, even if Leonard has better numbers, just because it's Duncan. a few years ago when the Lakers beat the Celtics, Kobe got the MVP, even though Gasol deserved it. They gave it to Kobe, because he's Kobe.
