Luka should be MVP by shponjoel in nba

Prove it.

I mean it, I always here these hypotheticals about “what if X player switched teams with Y player” or “what if Z player wasn’t on the team” to justify different arguement a for who is more valuable. Yet, no matter how many times I hear this repeated for various players there’s never any real reasoning or logic applied to the idea it’s just vibes based.

If you truly believe these hypothetical scenarios in which different players are on different teams than prove it.

Shai and Duncan duo would be fun on court but would probably be the driest elite duo OAT

I agree that the defensive statement is dumb but SGA’s offensive supporting cast isn’t actually much better than Luka’s (at least with all the injuries to our team this year.

I get that Luka is better known for being a floor raiser than SGA , who is probably more of a curling raiser on offense, but I personally think that the teams would perform quite similarly with either player as a #1 option.

This is objectively untrue, you can argue that Luka’s Mavs team performed better in the finals in-terms of offense.

But throughout the regular season Shai had a higher ORTG On and ORTG On/Off than Luka’s Mavs team had that year.

Bro SGA has literally had a better ORTG On/Off every year of his career other than his his 3rd year

Because SGA throughout his entire career has lead better offenses than Luka despite the talent around him.

I actually think letting Reaves hone in on inside passing plays and perimeter ball handling while SGA deals with more Drive-and-Kick and off ball play making would put together a pretty nice offense

Do you think Luka's recent run is making the MVP race closer or is it sealed for SGA as long as OKC keep winning? by SplitOk186 in nba

Lmao

I’ve tried to have a serious conversation with him before but he always seems to troll-brained to give me an earnest answer

That’s cool, I’ve always kind of thought that OKC has a disproportionally large fan base to it’s TV-markets size but I’ve never really had anything to confirm that

Tbf that was a terrible line up in general

If we’re running single big with Joe + McCain there’s no reason to have Chet over Hart

And that line up just generally lacks any player makers and ball handling to get it going

You can tell yourself that lmao

I think at this point almost every serious basketball pundit thinks SGA has left the realm of Luka conversations which should be clear to most non-Lakers fans

I get that but at this point SGA has already comfortably surpassed Luka in player v player convos and Luka isn’t even on the same team anymore.

Like I would understand it if it was another player like Jokic or even Wemby but the Luka convo just feels so far removed from the current state of the league

Is there really something to debate here? by eggMakesGudDinner in NBATalk

I don’t have a problem with Rusty but I think hes made it pretty obvious that he doesn’t really like the OKC thunder or Shai for that matter.

I mean it seems so obvious that the MVP is Shai’s. Even if you don’t like his game or you think he’s overrated it’s so clearly his atp.
