FIRST TAKE | “Luka Doncic should be NBA MVP this season, NOT Jokic” – Shannon DESTROY Stephen A.
Is the overwhelming favorite to win his third MVP award at minus 800 LCA donic is at plus 550 while Shay gilis Alexander is 16 to one Giannis and Jason Tatum are the only other players on the board at 100 to one all right Shannon I’m going to start with you on this one
I kind of feel like I know where you’re going do you think that joic should be the MVP I do um the consisten and I think sometimes Stephen A you know you’ve been a voter for this and sometimes the GU numbers are just so they’re just so consistent across the board like Jordan
I mean after you after after you see him average 335 and five for like 6 years in a row you’re like what’s so special about it or jannis doing what he’s doing or LeBron when he in his prime was doing what he was doing I think I think
Nicolea yic is going to win the MVP is third in about five to six years and I think uh Luca if if Luca won it I wouldn’t be disappointed if Luca won it because I don’t know if anybody’s noticing it but the LA I mean he’s always been great but Stephen A he’s
Taking his play up to another if you can imagine that he’s taking his play up to another level so I wouldn’t be disappointed if Luca won it but I think Nicole is going to win it yol’s gonna win it Shannon I’mma do you a favor man
I’mma give you the last word on this subject while I throw this bot while I throw this by you okay let me see if I can change your mind we recognize the greatness of the reigning defending Champion as is Nicole yic in the NBA Finals MVP we understand right yes my
Choice right now is Shay Gil just out Alexander he’s the number one seed in the west as we speak mhm he’s played 71 of 74 games this year Shannon wow he’s third in the NBA averaging 30.3 behind Luca and Giannis only he’s had an NBA
High 50 games of 30 or more points this season he leads the league in assist he’s shooting a career high 53.9% from the field 58 % on two-point shots 36 a half% from three-point range okay and by the way Shannon in four games against Denver they’re three and one he’s averaging 265 and
Five floor is yours right well I think he leaves the league in steals uh yes he does I said that I said that halberton leades the league in assist uh you know what Stephen I look I think the thing is is that a lot of times we see uh uh
Voters they vote okay best player on the best team and that that that kind of how it goes you and you’ve heard that before and you know what I don’t I it’s not like I’m gonna get on I’mma file a petition that said nicolei should have
Been the MVP if Jay gilin wins but I just think given what he’s done uh uh yoke and what he’s been able to do and the efficiency he’s shooting almost 60% from the floor Stephen A and on a nightly basis he’s giv you these numbers and you just we take them for granted
Now we Stephen A because he do he does it with such frequency you’re talking about him and I get that but we’re looking at a championship team championship coach Championship Personnel surrounding them we didn’t see this from Oklahoma City the number one seed and this brother right here she’ll
Sh Gil is Alexander leading the way he’s special he’s special I think it might be close but I don’t know if they go you your honest assessment who do you think’s gonna win if you had to say right now who do you think’s gonna win I
Think they’ll give it to joic I would vote for Shay I have a vote I would vote for Shay joic would probably be number two I gotta admit to you it’s a battle for number three between uh Edwards and and Jaylen Brunson hold up you just left Luca hold
On you left Luka out was just he hey hey hey that’s a f SE that’s a fit se he battling for f SE right now fit se you say come on Shannon come on you see my Nicks you see my Nicks watch your mouth you watch your saying you watch I’ll
Call in the night cap I’ll call right you better stop it womy did a number y’all y’all let womy do a number Y come OG Julius Richard Robson come on Shannon you know what I’m going call in the night I’mma call in the night you
Call in the night I’m trying to tell you man y’all better stop that you don’t give Jaylen bruss some love you gonna give it to yeah he’s he’s B Stephen A you want me to give man a credit the man took 44 shots it’s one game it’s one
Game no let me take it back he took 47 shots didn’t he didn’t he take 47 shots I don’t want I don’t have no recollection that break memory SEL m 50 rematch of last year’s NCAA women’s basketball championship Stephen A is excited about this one as we all are
When Caitlyn Clark and the Hawkeyes try to get revenge on Angel Reese and the Tigers tonight in the elite a now that is not the only star seted showdown we’ll have for you this evening on ESPN Paige Beckers and Yukon take on freshman Phenom Juju Watkins in USC with a trip
To the final four on the line in Portland it’s going to be very good so with that we welcome in our very favorite CH oou into the party uh great to see you CH I’m GNA start with you on this one there’s a lot of stars tonight
Right we got Angel we got Caitlyn we got paig we got Juju who do you think will shine the brightest tonight look when we say the word Stars it feels like an understatement it feels like we should be using constellation for their talents whether it is freshman to seeing here
But if we had to pick one and this is my choice it’s clearly Caitlyn Clark I don’t know if y’all saw what she did last game but it’s tremendous and in case you’ve been living under a rock she is the greatest scorer that the college game men’s or women’s has ever seen last
Game she had 29 Points and 15 assists she leads the nation in points per game and assists per game but get this this is the one that almost busted my brain she accounted for 69% of Iowa’s offense that is different now she is the in my opinion greatest
Star be based off of what we saw offensively but she is going up against the stiffest competition LSU defending national champs the reigning Champs and one thing that sort of worries me in this matchup is that LSU has the size the athleticism to go toe-to-toe and send everyone at Caitlyn did y’all know
Him picking rolles in this tournament l LSU has held their opponents to 22% shooting so that number 69 could drop dramatically and that’s why I feel like LSU will likely walk out of this one but nonetheless her Legacy is cemented and she is likely the greatest player
Caitlyn Clark on the floor well that’s exactly why I’m not picking Caitlyn Clark as the star that will shine the brightest theight Chena because of what you just highlighted about LSU on far too many occasions we don’t take into consideration the level of competition that you’re going up against those are
Some big girls at LSU they got size they got athleticism and their feisty as hell and they beat him last year won the National Championship Angel Reese all in a face and what have they been talking about angel Reese been talking about they ain’t have peace since that day
They don’t know what peace is okay they’ve been stressed out of the wazo everybody coming at them okay Kim Moi the coach I mean she picking controversies with the fourth estate for crying out loud looking for literally going in the press conference looking for media members where you at where you
At I know that person in this room here somewhere this is what she doing okay so every time you turn around they got a chip on their shoulder about something now what has happened Jan after they win the national championship after Angel Reese has elevated her profile and her
Nil cache and all of that all we’ve heard about even with South Carolina being backto back undefeated regular Seasons all we’ve been hearing about is K Caitlyn Clark is she better than Sher Miller is she better than Dian Sosi is she better than Brianna Stewart is she
Better than Maya Moore is she better than all all of these people leading in the nation and scoring leading in the nation and assist obviously the play of the Year declared early to avoid the drama I’m going to the WNBA okay got the Indiana Fever already putting ticket
Sales on you don’t put it out there everything’s been going on everything’s been talking about everybody been talking about Caitlyn Clark for for to be Tom for for for oh for e let me more

Luka should win it this year and he should’ve won it 2 years ago. The fact he didn’t win 2 years ago and especially where he finished in the voting race was utterly ridiculous.
STEPHEN A. YOU LOST ALL RESPECT AND START TO ACKNOWLED LUKA
And here comes the Dallas fans crying like usual in 3….2….1 😢😭
"This SAS is a clown who has no idea about basketball, never did, and is a real disgrace to the NBA that this person speaks like this about who everyone knows is the best player in the world currently and truly deserving of the MVP this season. Even Jokic admitted it a few weeks ago… LUKA DONCIC is the MVP of 2024, just like Jokic was last season, and they robbed it from him… these decisions only diminish the NBA's image
oh boy this kind of thing was so disgusting. most valuable player not most valuable team. 1st they say luka playing at an elite mvp level but his team was battling for play in. now he got his team in 5th seed they also say the same. how about when joker win his 1st and russ win his? what seed their team at?
Consistency lol how is a 34/9/9 season not consistent. He’s not 9th lol he gonna make top 4 with a tiny bit of luck.
Stephen A is obvious dumb
Luka is MVP this season, everything else is hypocrisy.
Stephen A Jokic won his last MVP as a 6th seed 🤣🤣 Luka deserves it and he will win it
SAS should be arrested for this take. Luka at 5? lmao – It's not even worth commenting any further. We know what's going on here.
SURPRISE SURPRISE SAS picked a black player… LOL!
So Gianni's held shai to 12 points in the last game they played!!! Gianni's is so overlooked!!! Shame on y'all!!!
Look man, Luka is playing lights out MVP ball.
This isn't even the first time SAS just straight up lied about SGA leading the league in assists 🤣
If Luca take 47 shots he break 100
SGA leads the league in assist?! Steven A. Smith is really pushing hard to promote black. Racist MF!
Twisted facts SAS. You will again do injustice to luka. You never learn how luka whip the Suns when you pick them over dallas.
why does this racist have a vote. embiid, tatum, sga…..special brothers. Luka- a disgrace. i want to puke when he starts with his bs
Stephen A doesn't like white European players
That's what this is about
I never listen to Steve A smith for any analysis in sports
Stephen A giving it to Shai and defending it by using Hali’s assist numbers to bolster it is a joke specially when he has a real vote. My prediction for the next 20 years is no white NBA player will win Unanimous MVP as long SAS has a vote.
Yes Jokic is a MVP💯🌟💫
Jokić has only missed three games this season as well.
NO ONE LISTENING TO @stephen 😳😳😳starting to poisoning VOTERS TO GO TO WHAT HE IS BELIEVING IN !! IT IS A CRAP 😡😡😡
And he fighting for 5th seed, Shai in first and leading lead in steals.. true two way player scoring with the best like Luka. I mean SAS isn’t WRONG
Y’all MVP winners are anyone who scores the most.. that’s not a MVP
No way SAS deserves a vote hot tf u even mention Brunson & ant in the same conversation with Luka & SGA is nice but please Luka & Joker is doing unreal stuff
This clickbait-ass page man…
What is SAS smokin???
DAM THIS DUDE IS JUST RACIST…..
Seriously!? Stephen A has a vote!? This guy clearly doesn’t watch the games outside of Knicks games. SGA!? Leads the league in assist? This guy isn’t even trying anymore. Get this man’s vote out!!!
If only Luka was black, sas would be on his nutsack like no other I promise you this
Mavs have a better record then the Knicks he's a idiot
SAS is such a racist.
This is how bad the nba can be. Clearly some of the mvp voter's are completely delusional. Not having Luka in the top 3 is like saying MJ shouldn't be in the goat discussion. 😂
