SGA still leads Luka in the vast majority of advanced stats, has played more, plays better defense, and has had much more team success. I guess Luka’s case for #2 is…. that he’s on a winning streak?
To be clear I think “SGA supporters” here is just me being really loud. I’m not sure if there’s anyone else who’s been active itt.
i'm an SGA supporter (tho not for MVP haha)
Iggy stop it, lol..
yes he's played more even tho if he continues to miss games that gap might be more negligble
yes, he's had more team success, but most posters and voters realize the context of that success and yes he's played better defense (obviously) but even with all the injuries Mavs might end up only 3,4 or 5 games behind the Thunder
defense is great but SGA is primarily a scorer averging 30\6\6, if u think u need to be a "fanboy" to argue there's a huge gap between 30\6\6 and 34\9\10 then idk what to tell ya
it's true that SGA has been historically good in low Turnover rate and has had a very efficient season but as we know, those things are valued a little less when it comes to MVP, then things like Luka leading the league in scoring and being 2nd in assists while rebounding like a big man and utterly dominating opponents and even whole teams, breaking records and dropping ridicilous games from time to time. 73, anyone? this stuff matters
