Last year sounded crazy bad for media bias against Luka.

Absolutely agree the criteria is crazy, I like Jokic too, but Luka was robbed last year. The media for sure has a bias against Luka. Luka is playing really well now with a higher seeded team this year. Hopefully if he keeps playing at an MVP level he will be considered for MVP. I know Luka's main focus is on a championship. Luka and the whole team needs to stay healthy and I think they will go far this season.

Well, this is going to happen every yr that Luka and Nikola are playing NBA because they are the best players out of Europe. I feel like the media are pitting them against each other so people just join in. I love them both but only one can win MVP. It should be Luka but the ones who vote won't change their minds about him personally.😢 Thanks for your thoughts Gregor :)

i agree theres bias vs euro's, but luka is currently not better, its a long season though... so the stats are better and you have the most extreme +/- with jok.
also there are no clear rules, youre right, either its the best player on the best team or is it the biggest floor raiser

Hi Greg. I'm a big fan of both jokic and luka.

I agree that luka could have been mvp last seaaon. But I believe that Americans who are xenophobic (especially the media) want to divide the European fanbase by causing resentment by Luka fans and Giannis fans against Jokic.

Smesno je res to hejtanje Luke. Lani so imeli argument proti njegovi MVP kandidaturi ekipni neuspeh, letos pa zgleda da tut ce bo ekipni uspeh bojo pa njegova individualna statistika problem, pa tut ce bo imel 30/8/8. Bo pa obramba problem, nekaj bojo ze nasli..tako kot si rekel, spreminjajo kriterije vsako leto, da ja ne bo Luka zmagal. Ampak konec koncev je sigurno njemu bolj kot MVP vazen prstan in FMVP katerega mu bojo pa tezje ukradli, ce Dallasu letos morda kako le uspe prit do konca.

Jokic is by far the best player in the world, but he is not on my MVP ballot (1-5). How can he be, Denver has the 11th best record in the league?? Basketball is a team sport, great individual stats without winning are empty stats. My basic rule should be adopted: you must be on a top 8 team, 65 games played to be eligable. Easy rule like a sunday morning.
My MVP ballot as of today:
1. Tatum
2. SGA
3. Mitchell
4. KAT
5. Doncic

Doncic is a crybaby. Everybody I ask that follows a little basketball what is the first thing that you think about Doncic: he whinnes all the time.

PS - gremo Olimpija razbit Venezio, najboljši smo v Eurocupu. Zadnjič na tekmi z gladiatorjem Spartakusom iz Bačke sem po milijon letih vidu standing ovation za moje zelene. Dobesedno so se metal na trepalnce za zmago. To hočmo gledat, borbo za zelene barve, brez stokanja.💚💚💚💚
