It's not like he didn't have some 73 pts game on 25/33 shooting earlier in this season....

Goldfish memory

Yeah of course, it's like the guy who is averaging 34pts-9rbds-10ass after 70+ games has only woken up in the last few weeks....wait.

Again part of the problem is that he hasn’t played 70 games

He is soon reaching it.
Come on man, you're so desperate to not want Luka to win his (well deserved) MVP title that you got to the point of pointing the fact he has missed 6/7 miserable games in the season?

It’s Jokers unless the Nuggets collapse down the stretch. Even then…

His individual numbers are insane, just like Jokic's. Not sure I could put Luka above Brunson, though. The Knicks' roster is pretty terrible and Randle, Robinson, and Anunoby have missed significant time.

I know I’m not supposed to insult a poster, but, are you **** kidding me? Brunson? This is just really terrible, man, sorry…

How does he deserve it over Jokic

Not sure why people are pretending like this isn't a done deal. It's been over for a while now. If a guy is -1000 or better with a couple weeks left, it's done. Jokic needed to get hurt in early March for this to get interesting.

but this is the final push and a top 4 ranking along with such games would defo make a strong case ( he was behind SGA at that time he dropped 73)

Because he is playing better.

It might take a while to land, but that's it. That's Luka's case.

He's been the best player this regular season.

MUCH more pts (and when you get to 26+ pts players, that counts), more assists, more steals, getting his team to an almost 4th spot in the west despite having had a FAR weaker team than Joker for most of the season.
And more memorable games than Joker this season including that historical 73 pts game.

Luka will be a nice runner up this year.

Posted this almost 2 weeks ago and there's a good chance he will win the MVP. It's like a tradition for transcendent players since LeBron that they win their 1st MVP in their 6th season. Luka is going for the kill. 47 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists by the end of 3rd quarter against the Rockets. With Jokic and SGA looking hurt in the final stretch of the season, Doncic will snatch the trophy from them.

^its mvp of the season, not the final quarter of the season

HotRocks34 · Post #1914 » by **HotRocks34** » Mon Apr 1, 2024 12:49 am

Luka's game is so crazy that he's swinging the odds and the game isn't even over.

I think he was at like +750 before the game started.

SGA’s hurt he got a quad contusion in the Jazz game played through it then sat. That’s given Luka’s scorching hot play catch up/pass SGA.

But it’s still Jokers imo.

When Bron 1st won it the Cavs won 66 games and were the 1 seed. MVP voters care about record and haven’t historically given injuries a lot of play. If it was OPOY it would be really close between Luka and Joker imo.

He doesn’t want Luka winning MVP or being in a two man race with Joker because it would put him over his beloved SGA. That’s his only reason but of course he won’t admit it :wink:

Lively is hurt for Dallas. If it's serious, that could affect Luka's chances and Dallas's season.

I actually think Jokic had a better game today

It's probably not that serious if he is still staying on the bench with the others.

I appreciate the compliment but it’s impossible to simp as hard as Luka stans itt. I can really only be a runner up, like Luka and SGA.

Who is leading the race for MVP? (players listed in alphabetical order)
