Why are we not discussing this guy being one of the greatest passers of all time? His passing is right up there with the greats, he definitely is the best in this generation easily.
Because that doesn’t fit the James harden and ball hog synonyms that people have associated him with to easily discredit him. Any true nba fan knows how elite his passing is
@@juandirection8820 joker doesn’t have to carry the ball up and get double teamed to make passes. His team is so much better so the focus isn’t on joker 100% like it is for the most double teamed guy in the NBA
@@juandirection8820 im talking about the flare and style more so as well. Jokic isnt really a flashy passer just very accurate and can see over the D better
@@juandirection8820nah man you live in a dream world. Jokic is a great passer, but in terms of skill and difficulty of passes he is not above Luka in no universe. Luka also averages 5 insane assists per game that dont lead to points, because he has a brick team most of the time
Luka is Must-See TV every single night! I watched all of his game winners live, i saw the 60/20/10 comeback win against the knicks, i watched Game 7 against the suns live… He is the new “Main Character” of the NBA. Every time he has the ball he has the magic touch that Magic-Larry-MJ-Kobe had..
Yea but espn putting anyone they can think of over him in the mvp race. Im surprised theyvarent saying hes neck and neck with patty mills in the rankings.
A Luka size-up folowed by a step back 3, followed by a slow backwards jog while laughing and nodding is the universal sign that barbeque chicken is indeed on the menu.
People will see this as hate towards Shai, but it's not. Shai is a mvp contender and he will compete against Luka for years to come, but this season it's Luka's time. On top of having better stats in all major looked statistics (Luka also takes insanely harder shots, way more guarded 3's) he is also the most double teamed per possesion player in the league. The main goal of every team playing agaist Mavs is don't let Luka cook. Luka also has the highest statistical standards by a mile out of all other mvp candidates. Mavs also have a horrible losing record without Luka on the floor and Luka missed quite a few more games than Shai due to injuries (again due to being forced to hard carry, being doubled all the time and missing his starters and second star due to injuries). I see Luka as a clear mvp if he continues to do what he does till the end
Because let's not act like every game is like this. He has a lot of bad games too and his team in 8th in the west, so it makes sense why Jokic is the MVP.
Because the only thing that matters to them is a team based stat called seeding record. And even then they will give zero aknowledgment to west being 10x times more competitive than the east this year or zero thought about games that Mavs lost when Luka wasnt playing. Luka is on the verge of averaging a freaking 36 point triple double on good % this season, but they will give the mvp to someone else whos team will have 5 more wins in the end than Dallas.
Iam greek and 45 years old everybody here love giannis, but luka luka luka you are an artist I remember drazen and you are way better than him I think when he retireds he will be at the convention about the top 3 ever and of course the best white ever
I like how the Commentator say "the shorthanded Knicks"😂 Almost like it's an excuse as to why Luka is dominating because we know the Mavericks don't have their share of injuries and of course didn't make any trades today...Oh wait....... they do and did😮😮😮😮
I think he meant short handed as in their missing 3 of their starting lineup 😂Lol why would that be an excuse when Luka has cooked other teams full lineups ?
@@luigic984why do y'all try to turn Luka and Jokic into victims ? Is there some projection going on here fellas I thought we're grown men who like Ball Lol
Give Luka Steven Adams and he gonna average 40. Adams screen would give him 15 alone. the amount of space he gonna get on Adams screen and his teammates open 3.
QUESTION FOR PEOPLE THAT TALKING ABOUT THE SEED IN TERMS OF REQUIREMENT FOR GEETING THE MVP - WHY WESTBROOK GOT HIS OWN THE MVP TROPHY DESPITE BEING 6TH SEED? HOW DARE U ! NOW LUKA PLAYING EVEN BETTER THAN WESTBROOK. DO U REALLY THINK IF DALLAS WOULD REACH 5 or 4th SEED THE NBA WILL GIVE THE MVP? HE CAN STILL SCORE 40 EVERY NIGHT AND NOT BE THE MVP
It's always been common in NBA history to flip flop on whether team seedlings count towards the mvp for example. When Nash stole an MVP from Kobe when his only reasoning was seeding kobe blew him out the water in all stats, research is there if you'd like. A common excuse for Westbrook winning that year was he had the most clutch time buckets now is that a reasoning for a 47 win 6th seed to win 🤷♂️ me and you aren't voters so who knows. But I see you all through the comments here and old trying to turn this into a racial thing which is super confusing and indirect to what you really feel in my humble opinion.
I hate when people say “everybody does it” to try to justify something but in this case, literally everybody carries. That’s why when it is actually called, which is extremely rare, the players look so confused. It’s just the way the game evolved to keep it fast pace. Back then, 100 points was like an extremely good night. Now 120 is nothing.
I think he is not MVP because he proved shitload of people wrong, reporters, ex players, coaches, anchormen and presenters. Giving him the MVP would be just another time and they hate that.

unstoppable offensive machine
He's the only guy in 40years of watching that can have 39 points and have it seem like an "okay" game. I watch 82 mavs games a year.

Luka is mvp
Another near triple double with 39 pts, 8 reb, 11 assists and 4 steals and 1 block with just 3 turnoveers in 40 minutes.
Yea but espn putting anyone they can think of over him in the mvp race. Im surprised theyvarent saying hes neck and neck with patty mills in the rankings.
And then haters telling there is no defense. All they see is mistake. SMH
Yep, and they will still say, “but he has zero defense”
@jarrettthomas4865 Meanwhile, he's better collectively defensive than mouthpiece curry, moron morant, harden, etc etc etc.
Is this guy MVP or not?

Him and curry are the most entertaining

Other than having a better team I don't see why Shai is above Luka in the mvp race.

Dallas has a ton injuries to deal with this season.
He's a poor defender.
@@michaelgordonsaxophone So was Dirk and he won season MVP
The 4 steals is really the game changer! He has improved his defense tremendously!

@@alex4k486because when Luka is out there by himself they quiet. Keep the same energy for all players
I believe that's 4 wins in a row against the unstoppable NY Knicks who got a chance.
How nice, guess their playoff chances is better than ever. That was the most efficient I've seen Luka & Mavs play on both ends all season.
That score at 4:22 is soooo smooth
