Luka Doncic is having an MVP-caliber season for the Los Angeles Lakers, and honestly, there is no reason even to debate it. The guy’s stats, the way he impacts wins, and his ability to take over games make him an obvious candidate for the award. Yet somehow, some still question him, and that makes zero sense.
Sam Vecenie recently pointed out on The Game Theory Podcast that “Luka has played 25 of 32 games.” That means he could miss up to 10 more and still qualify for MVP. Staying healthy matters, of course, but given how consistently he is performing, there is really no reason to think he can’t go all the way.
