And yet I don't think his votes are coming only from Europe. It's the perfect storm really. Europeans vote for him, Mavs fans vote for him, NBA fans who appreciate flashy plays vote for him... And let's be real, him being white on top of being a really really good player helps his chances, since the majority of NBA fans are caucasian. Maybe it's not a big factor, but probably has some effect.
Well obviously he's not getting his votes JUST from Europe (I'm seeing a ton of Doncic jerseys down here in Austin, which is Spurs country), but that Euro bump is what's putting him ahead of perennial MVP candidates such as Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis.
