Luka Doncic will perhaps finish too far in the West standings with Dallas to be MVP. In any case, this is the main argument for relegating him behind Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the discussion for the title of best player of the regular season. Whatever the case, and we probably don’t really realize it, Doncic is having a simply historic season in terms of production.
When you combine his points, assists and rebounds averages, only one player in NBA history has done better: Mr. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Doncic is currently averaging 33.9 points, 9.8 assists and 9.1 rebounds, for a total of 53.2. By 1972, Kareem had reached 56.
Luka Doncic is the most productive player in the league, period. As for the criticisms of his team’s record, Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets had won 48 games in 2022 and Russell Westbrook and OKC had won 47 in 2017, during their respective campaigns until the MVP. Dallas is, with 10 matches remaining, 43 victories. Will we have to reconsider things if the Mavs, who are on a good run, reach 48 or 50 victories?
