[NBA] Your Western Conference Kia Player of the Month for March… Luka Dončić of the Los Angeles Lakers! 37.5 PPG, 7.4 APG, 8.0 RPG. Team Record: 15-2
that’s a magnificent statline holy smokes bro. 15 wins 2 losses as well? It’s genuinely so awesome how we have several players in contention for the title of best player in the league. feel like you can’t go wrong with whoever you say between jokic wemby luka or shai. nba vibes are immaculate rn
no apparently if you say anyone but SGA you’re an idiot who doesn’t watch ball
Don’t let the thunder fans make you as bitter as they are, just appreciate all the talent we have
Fun fact: I love when BASKETBALL PLAYERS get it in that big hoop
Hell yea brave soldier spit your shit
When ball go in hoop? Me happy.
Reddit isn’t real life
Is it just fantasy?
Yea basically. It’s a Fugazi
That magic sphere thing they used to sell on TV?
lol nah
Fugazi = fake, bogus, or not real
Oh, I thought Fugazi was that place that everyone got really mad at Hillary over.
Lmao man idk I only know this definition
Why are we acting like anti sga taking points aren’t some of the most popular things to post on this sub lmao
Because a lot of the bigger threads are still places where you can’t seriously believe Wemby or Luka deserves it over SGA without being called unrealistic.
All I see is Laker flairs praising Luka in virtually every single thread daily so I have absolutely no clue where you’re getting that.
Tbh it varies from thread to thread, like any good Luka highlight is just all Lakers fans”Luka is MVP,” but I feel like general MVP related posts still have “but surely it’s still SGA” bias. Not to mention anything that’s SGA highlights/Thunder positivie side.
But yeah it really depends on what the post is, usually people biased towards liking whatever the post is about flood the comments.
This sub is the opposite lmao
“You don’t watch the games reeee”
“Luka has more FTA reeee”
Losses were the Nuggets and the Pistons too.
Could have been 16-1 too that Pistons game were very winnable but the refs made it tough
4th game in 6 days, 5th of a road trip against a good team. You could tell their legs were a little beat. Still had a last second chance at it.
Didn’t even mention Giannis
Not exactly fitting the vibes agenda with that one
So inspirational
in the past 10 years …. they player that won the most players of the month have gone onto win the MVP except for luka in dal and prob this years as well
sounds like anti-luka agenda at play
lol
bro you dont get it, his stats are empty /s
Or that he wasn’t that good for the first few months?
Because he was only averaging 32 ppg?
Luka was not in the convo the first few months of the season. He absolutely should be in the convo now, but the knock on him is that he has not been the MVP all season.
What convos were you paying attention to lol and convos in the first few months are predictions
To win MVP you need to play well for the entire season, not just a few months. Luka should be 6-10 in the MVP rankings
How should Luka be 6-10 in the rankings? Who worse are you putting ahead of him.
He “played bad” in one singular month where he was injured and going through the custody stuff. And his “playing bad” was still a near 30 point triple double. If you don’t think he’s MVP, that’s fine, but this narrative that he has only been good for a few months is just completely stupid
Please show us the months where he wasn’t playing well lol I think it’s crazy he’s even considered number 4 but you’re saying he’s number 6-10?!
I guess you really need to put /s holy shit
That’s Western Conference Defensive Player of the Month nominee Luka Doncic to you
Was he?!
he was nominated yes
Hell yea!
If he played defense ever maybe he’d actually win it! /s
Only nominated for March ? How about other 7 months ?
Why would a guy averaging 40/8/8 need to be defensive player of the month? Your standards only apply to him lol
My man, I’m just making fun of Rachel Nichols, I think Luka is the MVP although at this point I wouldn’t be mad if he misses another, would be nice to win but ring is more important anyway.
also was nominee for defensive player of the month
Also dropped 2 spots in mvp ranking
That “mvp ranking” is literally one guys opinion
Deserved too.
Honestly the medias perception of him is a full year behind his actual production right now. He is not a bad defender anymore. Just streaky
He’s always had a good read to get steals. I mean come on, he’s a basketball sicko and that’s why we (some of us) love him.
Most player of the months and player of the weeks now?
Anyone whos watching the games knows Lukas playing the purest form of basketball, his whistle hasn’t even been great either that’s the scary thing.
This is why when media pundits continue to downplay him it’s proof they aren’t even watching the games
Votes care about advanced metrics & narratives they never actually watch hoops.
Luka averaging 37/7/8 on a 15-2 record is actually absurd. Even for his standards, that’s just video game numbers.
Bot
Also, bumped three spots on the MVP ladder
You get easily baited by these media artists that do it for engagement
these people are the one voting on MVP
It’s a loud minority compared to most who have SGA as the mvp favorite.
All the ringer podcasters have Luka 4th in MVP, and some media members like Wilbon say JB is MVP, its a loud majority unfortunately, you’ll see when voting comes out and Luka ends up 3rd - 4th
Ok 3rd or 4th seems fair, if the other choices are SGA, Wemby, and Jokic.
Some of these shots are in elite defenders too
Jaylen Brown over him though, right? Lmao.
Well deserved.
38-8-8 is wild man even if it’s just one month especially going 15-2 in that timespan like wtf dude. I can’t stand people saying, “well they only beat the Rockets” like who cares, being consistent night in and night out is the most valuable thing in the NBA. I simply cannot imagine him being 3rd or 4th on the ballot at this point especially with recency bias.
I hope no one is saying that cause that’s wild, rockets Knicks nuggets magic cavs heat 🤔
The played the Nuggets, Rockets, Knicks, Heat, Cavs, Pistons, Wizards, Magic in that span IIRC.
Luka is the MVP
Funny how over the last month Luka has dropped down in the MVP rankings, despite a separate award recognizing him as being the best player in the west for that same time span.
It was either him or Wemby. Both have been on ridiculous tears, and their teams have been dominant.
I’ve seen enough, drop him to 18th in the MVP ladder!!
He will be move 2 spot lower on the MVP ladder for winning Western Conference Kia Player of the Month for March
10th in the MVP ladder, btw.
Outside of the MVP debate, as Lakers fans this can in some small part make up for Kobe having no help in his prime.
At least we get to see this star at the peak of his powers with a solid team around him headed into the playoffs and we don’t have to wonder how far he could have made it if he didn’t have to play with Smush and Kwame.
This roster is still flawed in so many ways, it’s just showing the pure power of Luka/Lebron masterminds.
AR is really the x factor, if bro get’s his shot back it’s a lot more scarier.
Yeah, it’s certainly not ideal, and hopefully it’ll get better over the next couple years, it’s just nice that he’s not being totally wasted like Kobe was in those prime years of his.
This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me the two things aren’t related at all. The team around Luka is still pretty wonky anyway. I think just enjoy the games you are watching, don’t bring up 18 year old teams and force some kind of convoluted comparison.
Killed it
dropped to 7th in MVP rankings
What’s wild is Harden averaged this statline for a full season and didn’t win MVP.
since I have no confidence whatsoever in my team winning the championship, Luka winning this year really would be the most fun possible outcome
This sub would burn itself to the ground if Reddit was around during the Larry bird era
he just 2009 ecf cavs lebroned the entire league for a whole month
Crazy how he’s not even considered top 3 for MVP because he “only” averaged like 28/7/7 before this tear…
Luka DonSwish
The 2nd highlight might be the craziest thing I’ve seen in a game. What a terrible shot and it went in. He deserves the mvp.
and somehow still the biggest flopping bitch in the league
Imagine choosing to go for the Twolves
Oh you’re mad cause you can’t keep holding onto that series win last year when Luka, AR, and Bron were hurt lol I hope they get the wolves first round again
Wait til the playoffs where defense matters
Heavy favorites for T Wolves and lost. Hehe. NBA is rigged though with Odds so maybe they’ll rig it for the Lake Show. Cause they ain’t winning shit with Lukas Defense ane Shot Chucking and fake Stats come Real Winning Time
He’s one good thing is can be clutch but he won’t have chance to be clutch when you shoot way out of game and play no defense.
Ive never seen a man play worst Defense in my life than Luka in his 1 Finals fluke he got to, where it was most 1 sided finals i can remember, he has a losing playoff record BTW, none of that matters..he aint winning nothing if the NBA is real.
Famous playoff shrinker Luka Doncic
Lol
You’ll see. If the NBA is legit. Shot chucking don’t work. His stat lines mean nothing and maybe fakest thing about his game.
Lula has a Losing Playoff record. 1 finals appearance where lost bad as possible doesn’t mean anything. Watch buddeh. Choke job coming and blame to everyone else.
hahahahah
Facts of life kid.
Luka no defense man coming soon to the playoffs Shot Chuckin
Ive still never seen worst defense in a NBA Finals than Luka, and he got dominated by a overrated team too, easily. lol
Thats shrinking to me…crying and playing no defense and missing 1000 shots
Yeah the best player in the world is terrible
Best at What? Scoring yea one of best
all junk rebounds, good passer, one of worst defenders, not tough who foul baits like EMbiid and SGA
Hes good, but hes not a true champion player. Defense Wins Championship, I was a scorer too btw, i learned at 20 that defense is what matters, youll see
overrated but easily dominates… username does not check out
besides this being an entirely ridiculous comment, luka was just nominated for defensive player of the month, but please carry on tho
it’s a bot I think, must be to say something so insane
i honest to god think a bot would probably have something more intelligent to say
Right buddy. Imagine lying on Reddit. Lakers fans..special kinda tism man
google is free pookie, check it out yourself
Good to know Lakers is all Fake News like their whole City
Luka is a dog crap defender and worst defense in history of an NBA Finals ever
He wasn’t right last year during the playoff and couldn’t get past anyone. Watch this year’s game and he is consistently beating Wolves’ defenders off the dribble. His defense had been fine to good this last half of the season. You come off as a hater who hadn’t watched the games.
Always an excuse for him.
His 1 finals appearance was worst stuff i ever saw and gets credit for losing.
He has a losing playoff record as a whole.
T wolves suck were huge underdogs when beat Lakers last year.
Are you okay? You seem so upset.
No I just tell the truth. Let’s see what he can do with PED so called goat LeBron who’s playing great.
