  1. ppl forget that this is the best team luka has had in his career. And he’s only had this core for a little over 5 months now. Okc already has had 2 seasons now with this core(ik chet was injured last season), but it they’ve been together longer. Give luka a year with this core, and they’re running laps around these fools

  2. basically broke down how Luka is more valuable to his team than SGA…almost like he should have been MVP…

  3. Luka Doncic just juggled it all. He drilled threes, assisted and rebounded as if it was his last game in the nba playoff.

  4. i dont why espn still hire these guys. at glance these espn commentators seem knowledgeable, but if you notice, they understand nothing about statistical theory. they assume & comment based on the last data or game. if one team have 3 game streak win, it doesnt mean that in game 4 they will win too. that's why they always make mistake & their predictions is suck. they said that nuggets were done after 2 loss game, but then they said differently when nuggets swept 3 next game. in game 6 they & st*p*d Kevin Garnet think gobert was suck, then he came back & beat nugget by 45 point. these guys understand nothing, that the loose team will prepare something for the next game. just fire them & look for a better one. I hope mavericks do not listen to this crap & focus on the next game. they just win a battle not a war, no time to celebrate.

  5. The disrespecf for Luka is simply astonishing. Yes, SGA played a great MVP LEVEL season, who would deny him that? He scored 50 30-pointers – true – but Luka played on a worse team, finished first in scoring and second in assists. How is this in any way, worse, compared to SGA's scoring numbers? But what's even worse, the story about the young, developing SGA and how he is going to grow up to be the greatest…. Urgh, Luka is younger! Younger and has been 1#st all nba on subscription. Tell me I am wrong, I dare you…

  6. Luka is the only player in NBA history with these accomplishments in a season who did not win MVP.

    How is this person not the MVP?

  7. Shai just takes enough shot attempts to score 30…like always. That's the difference. To win playoff games, you have to be willing to get dirty. You might need to double the shot attempts to pull a game off. Guys like Luka are more willing to hit that final gear. Luka has scored 45+ points 14 times in his life, while Shai has done so 0 times. And he's just a scorer. Shai just has that boring, efficiency stat chasing, driving spin move game.
