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

Defense does dictate his ceiling, is the thing. Shai, Giannis, and especially Wemby are all fantastic defenders night in, night out. He is not

Traditional_Emu3598

7 | 2 hours ago

Wemby isn’t currently close to Luka or Jokic offensively. Generational scorers and playmakers makes up for the defensive gap

Shai is an average defender, closer to Luka as a defender than Wemby or Giannis

DrPuzzle

Exactly. All of this. Complaining is annoying but it doesn’t impact his game and honestly if the complaining bothers you just get someone to piss him off, he’ll stop and cook your entire team 😂 but also custody battle Luka seems to be a different beast right now

His weight is something they gotta stay on him for a bit, but we’ve seen since he’s been in the league that even “fat Luka” is legit still a top 5 player lol. Defense is defense he’s not known for defense he will never be a defensive player but that’s why you gotta get players who can cover for him in that way. Ayton ain’t that defensive big unfortunately. Once the Lakers grab him a proper big man look the fuck out.

The point is none of this shit even matters though. We can nitpick Luka but that’s because we’re always looking for a reason. Dude’s been a top player in the world since he was a kid and he’ll be a top player in the world until he decides he’s done

Bunch of idiots who didn’t watch this game. Jokic by by far the best player in this game. To say Luka is #2 and Jokic is lower based on the box score is hilarious. I love Luka but jesus surely no one thinks he outplayed Jokic in this who actually watched the game???

Yeah honestly it wasn’t his best game, I’m not sure I understand the people memeing like he outplayed Jokic or anything. He absolutely deserves to be top 3 in MVP though.

inightyDAB | Luka Dončić

4 | 3 hours ago

Luka’s been on an absolute heater for a while so I’m not mad at one mid game. The good thing is we survived a mid Luka game and he also got his first game winner for us. Reaves, LeBron, Rui have all had game winners since he got traded here so that’s gotta feel good.

Also yeah no way he’s not at least top 3 in MVP lmao I think SGA is kind of clear at this point but he should be battling Jokic for that 2 spot.

ObeseKenyan | DEN

You’re in the small minority of Laker fans that actually watched this game. The sad part of this subreddit and all these Lakers fans is no one truly watches the games lol. Like I know that gets said a lot “no one here watches basketball”. But these comments are pure proof of it. At the end of regulation he had like 25 points on 35% shooting and 6 turnovers…….. AR had one of the smartest / best plays I’ve ever seen to make this game go to OT.

Jokic had a far superior game and absolutely dominated in a 1 on 1 comparison with Luka. But I’m seeing comments here saying this game took him to #2 in mvp. So he went ahead of Jokic in a game he got outplayed???

This man has a legit case for MVP and people need to stop pretending he doesn’t. Taking these Lakers to the 3 seed is MVP-worthy. For me, it’s between Luka and Shai. Jokic was my pick but he hasn’t been playing to his standards post-injury. Shai will win, but it’s way closer than people are making it out to be.
