Funny how People keep saying Luka and Jokic are stats padding, because obviously dont watch their games. Im not even fan of them, but come on! Give credits where its due. These white boys are playing in the NBA like they are playing against bunch of college players.
Aside from stats padding, SGA is known for being foul merchant. Half of his point came from the line. And imagine, being the superstar of their team, he still play garbage time even they are up by 10pts and sometimes 20pts in last mins. Luka and jokic can make 20-30 pts in 3 quarters and if they think thats enough, it wont bother then to sit on the bench. I like SGA before, but i have watched him a bunch of game witnessing how he really play for stats and that annoys me.
LeBron did this in the 2014/2015 Finals against the Warriors, except everyone was already walking off the court, and he went for an uncontested lay-up, when down 10 with 10 seconds left.
Westbrook would do this if he was a good enough scorer. He's the only player I've ever seen, seek out ALL stats from the very beginning of the game all the way till the end

Jokic tanked games towards the end of last season so that he WOULDN'T win MVP, since he didn't want the additional attention that would have garnered him.
i have not watched sga games, but if this is true. Luka and Jokic usually sit themselves when they have large margin. if sga still plays despite huge lead then he is stat padding
