Luka Doncic is leading the NBA in scoring with 34.7 points per game and he is putting up triple doubles like crazy. Is this finally the
year that Doncic wins the NBA MVP? He will need to play at this level and lead the Mavs deep into the playoffs to have a chance. In
my opinion he deserves it regardless.
Luka first with six straight 30-point triple-doubles
Luka Doncic became the first NBA player to record six consecutive 30-point triple-doubles as the Mavericks beat the Pistons 142-124.www.espn.com
The Mavs aren't doing well enough for Luka to win. Jokic is a huge favorite for MVP.
Jokic's biggest competition is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who's the best player on the team with the best record in the West, but while he's a very good player, Shai just isn't talented enough to win MVP. He'd be, by far, the worst MVP since Derrick Rose in 2011.

I don't agree with this. I'm ok with Jokic winning again but is it Doncic's Fault that Kyrie Irving has been hurt for 1/3 or more of the season?
He is in the top 3 in Triple Doubles and leading the NBA in scoring. How is that now enough to get more consideration?
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander while a very good player averages 3 1/2 fewer points per game, fewer rebounds and fewer assists. He also plays with both Chet Holmgren and Josh Giddey. Luka Doncic carries the team almost by himself most nights.

I’d love if Luka would win mvp, Jokic already has 2 plus a finals mvp so I feel it’s better for us to have 3 of the last 4 mvp’s white men. However while Luka is putting up ridiculous numbers (and he needs to demand a trade this summer) he is fighting the uphill battle of not being on a top tier team plus being a white player. Either guy winning it would be great for us, to me it looks like it’ll be Jokic

I would love to see Luka on the Utah Jazz, Miami Heat or the Sacramento Kings.

2. Luka Doncic
3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
4. Giannis Antetokounmpo
5. Jayson Tatum
6. Domantas Sabonis

I’m not sure what to refer to the phenomenon of two White players at the top of the NBA and the common remaining (mis)perception in our culture. It’s similar to how Whites have dominated the upper weights in boxing and yet the common narratives continue, where the average American only knows of legends (Ali, Foreman, etc), 90’s boxers (Tyson, Holyfield, etc) or currents like Mayweather (a little guy) and maybe Wilder (a power puncher with terrible boxing skills, imo).
Of course I’ve got ideas as to why this is (a number of contributing factors), but this reality makes it a fun time to be alive and shows even more how the racial views of our culture are almost religious like.

There's a very good chance we'll have whites finish 1st and 2nd in MVP voting in 2024. That's only happened 3 times in NBA/ABA history:
2007:
1st Dirk (Germany)
2nd Nash (South Africa)
1957:
1st Cousy (USA)
2nd Pettit (USA)
1956:
1st Pettit (USA)
2nd Arizin (USA)

IF that happens, and I'm doubtful it will, I expect Black Americans will become very anti immigration and want Trump to build that wall..

Except they want a wall around Europe ?
Tough to have a room temperature IQ, I suppose.

It didn’t take long for Rudy Gobert to hear about it.

Love to see his fire.
Of course, he is getting dragged for trash talking. I was in a Facebook thread about the game and a lot of white betas are saying they cannot stand him because he talks so much…
And yet others are saying if Jordan and Kobe can talk **** all game, why can’t Luka? People are beginning to identify the black privilege that is in sports (and the rest of life).

Luka symbolizes what we at CF have been saying about White athletes. They need to be more aggressive, more cocky, more selfish..
Not only will change the "lunch pail, over achiever" narrative but, also to build confidence. Can't be a dominant player if you don't believe you are..Luka clearly does.

Another cool statistic about Luka Doncic. In NBA Playoff History Luka Doncic only trials Michael Jordan in points per game. So when the
games pressure is at the highest Doncic so far in his career(he is only 25 years of age) is the 2nd highest scorer ever in the post season in
points per game! The man is a living legend! Respect especially playing hurt night after night. Doncic is 2 wins away from the NBA Finals.

Luka Doncic scores 36 points with 10 rebounds to send the Mavs to their first NBA Finals since the Dirk Nowitzki Era!
Doncic had 20 points in the first 10 minutes of the game! Unstopable.
