I’ve been saying for ages, Luka is my MVP, even through all the ridiculous slander he’s been getting on Reddit. He has been absolutely incredible. The only reason people on Reddit don’t think he should be the clear frontrunner is because they don’t watch the games and only see clips of him talking to the ref on Reddit. On top of the fact that this sub seems to be absolutely chock full of OKC fans.

And I fkn love watching Shai don’t get me wrong he has one of the smoothest and most satisfying playstyles to watch but there’s only 1 other player than Luka in the league that can completely run an entire game and it isn’t Shai. But he’s been injured and looking a bit rough. Luka has just been unstoppable.

Sadly I don’t think he will ever win an MVP. Despite how great he’s been for nearly a decade the media and voters never give him the respect he is deserved.

shall359

16 | 8 hours ago

If he didn’t win in 2024 he probably isn’t winning one. Lead the league in scoring that year, kept his team afloat with so many injuries until the All Star break, post All Star break trades Mavs went 16-3 or something to close out the season as one of the best teams, and he made the Kyrie duo work when everyone thought it was going to be a disaster when he Mavs got him. It was also maybe Jokic’s weakest season from his MVP ones too.

Lmao1903 | NBA

1 | an hour ago

He deserved it that year, however they were the 5 seed, and given what the award actually is (how good your teammates are award), he was never getting it. So in principle, if they build a competent roster, he would have a much better chance. All they need is some 3 and D guys, 1-2 good ones ideally and a proper big, nothing too fancy, just a guy that can defend and catch the ball

d4videnk0 | Lakers

I believe its the same that happened with Kobe, once he finds the perfect partner for him like Pau was he’ll be handed the MVP even if the numbers don’t look outrageous

this isn’t actually supporting you by the way, the narratives still matter to MVP voters even though NBA players don’t care about them; look at the difference between how members of the media and NBA players thought who would win MVP near the end of last season

it’s never gonna happen with Luka unless the Lakers get a 1 or 2 seed or Luka goes even more insane with his stats, that’s how MVP voting has worked in the past and will likely work in the future

I agree that him being 6th on the MVP ladder right now is absurd, but I’m sure he’ll move up to 4th after this crazy game
and if he doesn’t, then you can light the MVP award’s dignity on fire while Shai picks up another one of them lol

I’ll never forgive the nonstop 2025 Luka slander in a year he was traded out of the blue from his home to a bad roster, wasn’t able to see his kids, and going through a divorce

People really chose to believe the overblown or flat out dumb national narratives over 6 years of evidence showing greatness. Only remembering the last thing they saw. Even his “bad” year was 31-7-7 and playoffs.

Top 4 and always was. Should be higher in the MVP ladder as well. Higher seed than Ant and Jokic (who get away with some of the flaws Luka has) and an efficient 33-8-8 with a worse roster

Complaining is an issue but don’t think it impacts the game so much as some. Defense and weight were issues at time but overblown, especially given his offensive load because of bad rosters. People reacting to a temporary bad shooting %’s to start, calling him a ball hog, or saying he can’t win big is just utterly ridiculous and shouldn’t have been entertained given his offensive greatness and bad rosters in comparison to Shai, etc and his playoff success

still find it incredible SGA is unanimously awarded the title of ‘best offensive player’ in the league when he’s never been as good as luka is on that end

5 bench points.

What not having Bronny does to a mf

I watched Jokic, Shai and Luka have amazing games tonight. Its nice to enjoy them all going off on the same night. When Luka is on the bench, the Lakers look like such a different team. Its great to have Reaves there to keep the momentum because otherwise, the bench is just awful.

5 Lakers bench points in a 142 pt scoring game; incredibly worrying come playoffs. luka had an insane performance per usual but that’s completely unsustainable over several series/games, let alone one 7 game series. if this continues, we’re fucked

Meh our main bench scorer in Rui was starting + Hayes was out + luke had a bad game.

I feel like our bench has been fine lately

Not arguing your point, but ⁵⁄₁₄₂ is 3.5% not 0.035%.

3rd seed while being like 15th in the league in NetRtg is basically an exact repeat of last year. Feel like the playoffs will go the same way too.

wouldn’t shock me in the slightest. we’re an okay team relative to actual contenders, and good relative to everyone else but in no way are we competing for a title, or even a 2nd round push with this bench

The Lakers’ bench was almost outscored by the Bulls 5th string rookie center. That’s fucked up. It might not matter against teams like the Bulls but it’s going to cost them down the line.

Good tank loss for the Bulls though. Got to get a few L’s back now that the Bucks are back into tanking mode.

We know. At this point we’re not title contenders, just a playoff team.

Let this be a lesson, that most of us are aware of - NBA media sucks. Somehow made up of ‘experts’ and former players, yet still stick to idiot narratives and carry them to death.

What was Lukas game score? He literally had a full statline including 4 stocks to go with the 51/10/9 and only 1 turnover, has to be pretty high

Got his laker career high with 23 on the floor hmm I thought he only made them (AR included) worse. lol I’m being petty idc a lot of people try play mind games about our big 3😂🤣. Agendas aside is 137 the most a starting 5 has scored for their team? felt like the bench had practically nothing

5th best player itw after SGA, Jokic, Giannis and Wemby. Nico Harrison is a dickhead.

The Los Angeles Lakers (41-25) defeat the Chicago Bulls (27-39), 142-130.
