Best 1st quarter player ive ever seen

It’s why he and Kyrie was so deadly.

Kyrie that season was one of the clutchest guys I’ve seen

Lebron understood to do it last season too and turn up in the 4th, but sadly he’s just old now

flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

He still does turn up in 4th quarters as long as the game is close. He may be 41, but he can still outrun most people coast to coast, especially when everyone is tired in the 4th

According to stats muse he does have the highest Q1 average, he averages 9.¹⁄₂.⁷⁄₂.6 in first quarters Next are Embiid and AD with 8/3/1

Sammy2729 | Lakers

and thats for his career, he averages 12 ppg in the 1st this season

On 1/30/26, he put up 16/7/7 with 2 steals in the first quarter. 6-9 from the field, 3-6 from 3.

Simple_Wait_7286 | Hornets

21 | 18 hours ago

Although I don’t like how narrative-driven the award is, it basically always goes to best player on best teams.

With a couple exceptions. Russ triple double average for a season for the first time since Oscar. And Jokic in a season where none of the other candidates did a lot of winning either.

Luka will get his MVP if the Lakers are a top 2 seed in the future, and definitely if they finish 1. That’s what it took Harden and Kobe.

Idk why having a nuanced discussion on “Is this player really that valuable or is the team perfectly built to optimize his style of play” so hard for these people. It’s like they want to simplify it to a 1v1 when it’s a team sport first and foremost.

Lmao1903 | NBA

7 | 14 hours ago

They are morons, they can’t comprehend that maybe you need a better team to win games but if it is the “Most Valuable Player”, the keyword being “Player”, it is straight up moronic to be like “well Cade and Jaylen Brown won some games so I guess they are the MVP”. I get it when player A is like right behind player B, but they won a lot more games. But when its player A being miles behind B, it really makes no sense

Ready-Constant-7124

-27 | 18 hours ago

You don’t win MVP by almost solely beating bad and average teams and being like 3-13 against top 5 seeds or something

Surely you don’t seriously think he should win lmao

frankcostello666 | Lakers

Yes, I dont understand why 25/10/6 cade on shit efficiency is over 33/9/8 luka on better efficiency

NoHacksJustTacos

19 | 18 hours ago

Yes I don’t understand why 25/6/10 with below average leave TS% is better than 32/8/9 with 64% TS and just overall a better player when it comes to an INDIVIDUAL award.

FalseProphet1234

-12 | 18 hours ago

FalseProphet1234

Only when your guy doesn’t win it, right?

NoHacksJustTacos

4 | 17 hours ago

Yup, since it’s clearly a narrative driven award and not about who’s truly the best in the league.

Top-boy-og

-14 | 17 hours ago

Luka is better than Cade obviously but he has two other elite offensive creators on his team, the Pistons have nothing other than Cade. Pistons have the 2nd best record in the league despite being a dogshit offensive team outside of Cade. It’s not crazy for Cade to be higher in MVP rankings. And Luka is at 61% TS btw for the season not 64 lol

NoHacksJustTacos

8 | 17 hours ago

Luka would play 100% better without LeBron or AR15. Luka creates his own shots, you clearly don’t watch basketball. lol. These Cade stans acting like Jalen duren isn’t there, actually hilarious.

pokerawz | Lakers

8 | 16 hours ago

Jalen Duren is better than any front court player Luka has ever played with.

pokerawz | Lakers

MVP’s shouldn’t consistently be putting up tour dates.

Cavs won 64 games last season and Mitchell wasn’t getting as much hype as Cade. Shiny new toy syndrome.

Lmao1903 | NBA

4 | 14 hours ago

I think you misunderstood something, Cade is not 45-16 and Luka is not 37-25, the Detroit Pistons and the Lakers are, its a 5v5 game with usually 10-12 man rotations, hope that helps

WoundWaffle

JB shuts Luka down head to head almost every time. He’s a better all around player than Luka. Bball is more than just offense and crying to the refs. One dude has a ring and finals mvp, the other needs a sports psychologist.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better 1st quarter in NBA history, pulling up from 35 feet draining 3s with a hand in his face

Beating double teams to get to rim and draw foul

And then throw in the 4 reb and 3 assists for good measure

I’ll never forget that game. That series with the Timberwolves was when I knew that he will definitely win a ring with the right team and if he stays healthy (against the Celtics bro was injured af, and Kyrie sold…which people seem to forget. Plus Porzingis was a cheat code that series)

What trend? Have you followed his career at all? He’s regularly turned it up at the end of seasons.
