We went from "he's not even the best player on his team" to "he's certainly not a top-20 player" to "is he a top-10 player?" to "at this rate, he might be considered for the MVP race" to "there are only 4 players in the MVP race and Luka's one of them" to "the only reason he might not win MVP is because he's 20 years old and you just can't pass over previous MVPs still playing at a high level like Giannis, LeBron, and Harden without careful consideration" in a damn hurry... We're , what, a month or so into the season? At this rate they'll be creating a Super Galactic MVP award just to accommodate Luka.

Honestly I think Mavs will need to finish the season as a top 3 team and those other 3 guys will need to stumble for Luka to have any chance of winning MVP.

I honestly think if Luka can develop better chemistry with KP, then that would really help his cause.

Too bad MVP voting doesn't work like Highlander rules -- he's defeated Harden, LeBron, Davis... There can be only one!
