… Most MVP candidates aren’t the best defender on their own team and Luka certainly isn’t.
🪄🐴@Luka77_x
@SamQuinnCBS Shai isn't even the best defender on his own team that title would go to Dort and Caruso and he also has a DPOTY candidate in Chet who is able to clean up Shai's mistakes

@TheRabbitHole Oh shit fr? Damn let me go buy a steel factory rq off my $25/hr
Retard

@ShakeLS @TheNBABase @DailyMail "Created issues"
And it's just a Dad wanting his oldest daughter to be in the same country as him and around him more lol 💀
English
@TheNBABase @DailyMail So his wife had just given birth and he went there and created issues.
English
Police were called to a Slovenian hospital two days after Luka Doncic’s second daughter was born after he reportedly "begged" his ex-fiancée to let their oldest child return to California, per @DailyMail
“Sources say the conversation turned ugly and police were called to Kranj Maternity Hospital, north of the couple's multi-million Slovenian retreat, on December 6 – two days after Olivia was born – following a dispute... Officers later said they 'did not detect any elements of a criminal offense or misdemeanor' from the star, adding that Doncic had left 'peacefully'... During his visit to Slovenia, Doncic reportedly begged Goltes to allow Gabriela to return to California with him.”
English
@Dagoodzzz His defense has been overall good for months now, people just actually care now
English
Rockets offense so bad we starting to get good Luka defense shouts
LegendOfWinning@LegendOfWinning
Luka's defense is better than his reputation
English
@WeAreOKC Nah you've only been WATCHING Luka these 8 games...Luka has been BITW caliber since January
English
@Slime1K4L @AaronSmith66557 @CAlmanza1007 It's only sad if you legit decided your MVP in like December lol
English
@AaronSmith66557 @CAlmanza1007 He does but trying to put him above Shai atp in the season is just sad
English
I don't think you want to go down that route
Los Angeles Lakers@Lakers
Three letters. Talk about it 🗣️
English
@jwillmuse2 Luka's been this since new years tho
The LAKERS have "stepped it up a little too late" in terms of wins vs great teams, but that kinda goes to the point that MVP is just narrative based
Cuz January to now is some of the best total basketball Luka has played in his career
English
Luka has stepped it up a little too late for him to get mvp but to act as if what he is doing isn't impressive is ignorance. He will likely be second in mvp voting if he keeps it up and the him not making all nba first team talks were always fuckin stupid
English
@getnickwright Can someone actually lay out in detail why exactly SGA is the MVP over Luka
Cuz i never see it laid out at all, it's just constantly repeated like it's supposed to be just immediately excepted with no thought lol
English
With 4 weeks left... Here's where I think the NBA MVP race sits:
1- SGA
2- Luka
3- Wemby
4- Jokic
5- Cade
Luka vs Wemby is thisclose and could flip multiple times over last month. But SGA is going to (and deserves to) win, and Luka has clearly played his way into the Top 3.
English
@SuaveCEO_ "That's a team record, not Luka vs Shai"
The irony of this statement is slapping you in the fucking face
English
That’s a team record, not Luka vs. Shai.
Also, OKC’s average margin of victory is 11 points compared to the Lakers’ 1.4. The Lakers play way more close games.
And somehow, Shai still has more clutch points (156) than Luka (52) and is the favorite for Clutch Player of the Year, while missing a TON of fourth quarters this season.
Here are the odds, btw:
Glockoma@GlockomaDFS
@SuaveCEO_ Isn't as clutch... *checks which team has the best clutch record in the league* ah, right
English
@MatejSportinfo This Cade and Brown propaganda is getting legitimately laughable
English
Perk on Road Trippin pod: “When you talk about 1st team I’m looking at a guy like SGA, Brown, Wemby and Cade. Then it comes down to is it Jokic or is it Luka. Is Luka in there and I put Jokic 2nd team?”
Season awards lose all legitimacy if NBA really lets people like Perk vote.
English
@realtalkejlt No bs lol
Forced him to do less grifting and got back to just getting buckets and staying focused
English
@okcamars @MarkHemry466 Nigga listed two elite defenders who can get consistent stops and get out in transition for easy scoring opportunities and somehow used that as an argument FOR Shai
English
@MarkHemry466 Yes, Shai who leads lineups with JWill, Dort, Wallace to +15 returns is not carrying his offense
English
Shai’s playing with a worse offensive team than Luka but nice argument
Fluka Magic@FlukaMagic
Thunder fans when you tell them playing on a much worse team demands tougher shots, more ball dominance, and more volume
English
@SamQuinnCBS Explain the superior defense THIS year in detail rn, go...
English
My view on this year’s MVP race has been that SGA’s superior defense, efficiency and ability to limit turnovers edges out Luka’s slight volume edge and big playmaking and rebounding edges. I don’t care much about team record but SGA has that as well, with plenty of OKC injuries.
Sam Quinn@SamQuinnCBS
Like I think if 2026 Luka faced the MVP competition 2007 Dirk did, he wins. His resume is better than the 2007 field’s. But he’s not competing against the field I 2007, he’s competing in 2026. Sometimes there are multiple guys with MVP-caliber resumes and it gets hard.
English
@SamQuinnCBS Would love anyone to explain how Shai has been such a better defender than Luka THIS year that it's actually a separator for you
And "half the turnovers" cuz he doesn't have anywhere near the passing responsibility, nor does he see anywhere near as aggresive of coverages as Luka
English
Better efficiency. Half the turnovers. Better defense despite that tiny sample isolation stat that's been making the rounds.
This is what I hate about the MVP race. By all means, support your guy, but it always devolves into "you're an idiot for picking anyone else."
Dick Carlisle@DickCarlisle
Nobody can give a good reason as to why SGA is the MVP besides “SGA’s team is better.” Since when was that the criteria for MVP?
English
English
Luka Doncic hasn't outplayed SGA, Cade Cunningham or Jaylen Brown, according to Lou Williams 👀
"He hasn't had the impact and done the things that these other guys have done."
Lou says the MVP race comes down to numbers 📊
@MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons | @TeamLou23
English
Lakers list Luka, LeBron, and Reaves as questionable for tonight against Miami
English
The lakers probably about to get dog walked today, please do not overreact
Dan Woike@DanWoikeSports
The Los Angeles Lakers, who play tonight at 8 pm local in Miami, arrived at their hotel South Florida after 5 a.m. folllowing their win Wednesday night in Houston (a game that started at 8:30 pm central).
English
@Yardiiiiiii @Jacari_THEEGoat @SuaveCEO_ He's been much better in isolation situations this year, especially against bigger wings
But most impactful has been his weakside playmaking/rotations by reading the 2 players he's zoned up on when we send help to the strong side
That was easy...
English
English
Because he’s 10.5 games behind the MVP frontrunner, doesn’t play the level of defense as the MVP frontrunner, and isn’t as clutch as the MVP frontrunner this season.
Ball Don't Stop@balldontstop
How is Luka Doncic not atop the MVP convo right now? He's in a different airspace come crunch time. Pure skill on display.
English
@Jacari_THEEGoat @SuaveCEO_ He really isn't, not this season unless, again, you're just doing reputation and aesthetics arguments then sure
English
@kendrickj_ @SuaveCEO_ Why you acting like it’s close tho? Shai is still leagues better on defense
English
