In the 2023-24 season, Luka Doncic finished third in MVP voting, as he was a member of the Dallas Mavericks organization. He finished the season averaging a career-high 33.9 points per game and shot 38.2 percent from the 3-point line. Doncic trailed Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, receiving four first-place points in the NBA MVP voting.
Doncic, though, could break the MVP curse this upcoming season. NBA reporter Bill Simmons seems to believe the statement, as he predicts Doncic will get his first MVP award. Simmons spoke on Doncic's MVP case during his weekly podcast. His prediction makes sense.
