unreal. unsustainable. mvp

Off topic but man he’s finally close to a 90% free throw shooter (might be 90% after tonight).

He can’t be allowed to sit if the Lakers want to win games

3rd string bench should be embarrassed. JJ made the right call to bring the starters back in.

Twice. He should have never played the 4th

Luka’s on/off in this game must be crazy

I eat my words about JJ leaving the starters out too long

Luka had that smirk after that cross court pass like “it’s alright I got it handled.”

Based on how Luka’s playing, he’ll carry the Lakers to 50+ wins (probably injuring himself in the process with the load he has to carry, hopefully not) but the bench is going to be a huge issue in any playoff series.

Kessler’s been a good addition, but I dunno, I’m not really impressed with his rebounding, especially this game. The lack of depth behind him in the center position hurts too.

i look at the bottom of the bench and I literally see +/- of -10 with 1-2 minutes of playing time, unbelievable

No no, MVP is not actually the most valuable player. It’s the best player on the best team!

This is like watching Kobe in 06, the most back-breaking carry job in decades

had the opportunity to draft him in Fantasy but took SGA who looks depressed af right now lol

Dude it’s less than 10 games

He’s yet to play a .500 team btw (except the blazers and warriors and guess how that went)

Helped with Lebron being there and having two generational playmakers.

We won games but we also constantly gave heart attacks in the clutch lol

It’s been like this since 2020.

It is 4d chess from him because I saw people started claiming a guy average 34-8-8 not improving his game anymore

and his threes, his efficiency in all areas has been unbelievable

Certainly he had a ~6 game sample size last year where he shot 88% from the line?

The people with a vote hate Luka. So it honestly shouldn’t be surprising if he never win it.

Wemby is great also and will probably have the better record, Luka needs a top 2 seed for it.

The only threat rn is Wemby. He’s been playing great too, so I guess it’ll come down to who finishes with the higher seed and who wins and performs better when they play against each other. Kinda like SGA and Jokic last year

He will be 4th in voting by January. You just wait. Shamelessness unlimited from the NBA sports media.

Wemby is right there, Luka is still up against massive odds

Got to give it to an American after years of non-Americans winning it

whats crazy is when Harden averaged 36 ppg the next closest was 28.

If Luka was 8pts higher than the number 2 today, he’d have to average over 40

Insane lol

MVP - sure.

But Lakers as currently constructed are not a championship team, their ceiling is WCF with a lucky bracket, but they can be as low as 1st round exit.

He should get MVP but they’re not winning a chip. They’re a one man team.

Luka has seemingly taken a step up offensively. Excited to see how this season unfolds.

World peace would be more achievable than this Lakers team winning a chip…

And no lebron wouldn’t change shit, names do not excuse for bad roster construction, half the players in the team aren’t exactly bad, but they have no cohesion whatsoever.

A guard rotation with grimes, sexton, hardy is bizarre, basically 3 of the same player.

No just give Luka the chip bro, no one else is helping

The NBA Media needs a black American to be face of the league. They make did with SGA. he’s never carried like rest of the guys. Imagine your league MVP be outplayed by your own teammate let alone 41 yo Lebron Fucking James lol it’s a joke.

It is hilarious how much they paid him considering how irrelevant he’s been so far.

On the bright side, Luka looks more like an MVP than ever
