On the other hand, I gotta say Kyrie is enough along with this line up and a little luck to win one this year.

Leads the league in points, almost averages a triple double for the season, and leads this team to 50 wins. But he shouldn?t be in the MVP conversation?

Luka without question had a phenomenal year.

But having said that I think jokic is the mvp

Even when you watch these plsyoff games jokic just seems a bit better than everyone else.

Dude is so damn efficient and he very rarely makes mistakes.

I know as mavs fans we all love Luka but I just don't think in terms of efficiency and winning attitude Luka is on jokic level right now.

That's not to say he won't get there one day but right now I'm taking jokic over every other candidate

"winning attitude" good grief. That just sounds like passive aggressive nonsensical Luka hate.

Nobody wants to win more than Luka.

Winning attitude means being able to control your emotions in close playoff games and playing through adversity when things don't go your way.

Jokic unlike Luka won't risk getting a tech in crucial game or situation

Jokic will run back on defense with his teammates and not spend the entire possession barking at the refs

That's what I meant by winning attitude

People think I hate Luka which is not true

I just don't agree with his actions most of the time when it comes to the refs. The playoffs are physical and sinetimes you just have to move on to the next Plsy and I think we all can agree that jokic does a far better job of that then Luka.

an argument can be made for either Luka or Jokic to be MVP. The original comment I replied to, however, said that Luka shouldn?t even be in the MVP conversation which is a ridiculous take. He?s clearly top 2 this year.
