One of the best non MVP seasons in recent history. Just as good or better than Harden's MVP seasons. Better than Embiid last season.
I'd say Luka has qualified with multiple incredible moments this season. 4th highest scoring game ever recorded. Incredible 50 piece on Christmas against a rival. Managed to come back as one of the best 3pt shooters in the league. Improved his FT%. Basically every single critique we've had of Luka year over year he improved upon this year.
Carried the team to 50 wins despite having the most injuries on the roster for a Western Conference playoff team. Played at a 60 win pace with everyone healthy.
Jokic deserves the MVP. But so does Luka.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
