    Shai hasn’t done anything special let’s stop making him such a heavy favorite just bc his TEAM has a good record. Luka is proving he is the most valuable player in the league and to his team.

    “He’s AVERAGING 40!” I need stephan A to give him harden treatment

    • @Rodsu

      Nah Harden was actually averaging 40 lol… shii he had a month averaging 50. Prime Harden’s run was insane, Luka ain’t doing that at all.😂

      @RodsuLuka is a better all around player though. He be doing triple doubles on the regular. Although prime James harden was a beast Luka is all around a better player because of the triple dub machine he is. Both are terrible at defense though.

      1. James Harden has never averaged 50 in a calender month
      2. Luka is doing exactly what James was doing, James just made it look sexier. The difference in ppg in their highest scorimg months isnt more that 3ppg. Luka is ACTUALLY averaging 40 btw ​@Rodsu

      @purplesky4157luka isn’t better because of his triple doubles. Luka is just a better offensive player, but shoutout to Harden because it’s clear that Luka modeled his game after him

      @Markolino8 Exactly, kids just see triple doubles and lose their minds man😂

    Glad that you finally support him now that he is a Laker, meanwhile he was this good in 2024 on the Mavs, and you refused to give him his props.

    LAKERS LOSE IN 1ST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.

    I’m definitely a Laker fan however the question i
    Is; has Luka trained his body hard enough to keep this during the playoffs in the Western Conference?

    • @adarsh5265

      March 20, 2026 at 2:10 pm

      For that i would suggest looking back at luka’s 2024 run, that man is a beast in playoffs

    • @purplesky4157

      He’s in better shape now then when he went to the finals so maybe

    give him the mvp already

    I’m sorry I can’t sit here n watch this when last week we were acting like he barely a top 7 player n now he’s the mvp this week meanwhile sga been doing it all season luka is great and playing at an all time lvl but sga has been doing this literally all season on better defense, better efficiency, and better assist to turn over ratio these narratives yall have is hilarious cause if his name wasn’t named sga from Canada you would be glazing him

    Luka has to be the MVP this season if not I don’t know what the NBA voters are doing.

      Shai deserves it to

    • @bdon20104real

      March 20, 2026 at 5:09 pm

      @kohsmoger1567How many games did Lakers lose without Luka and how many did OKC lost without Shai. That answer lets you know who the true MVP is

    • @kohsmoger1567

      March 20, 2026 at 5:23 pm

      @bdon20104realIn my opinion that’s to small a sample size

    • @bdon20104real

      March 20, 2026 at 5:27 pm

      @kohsmoger1567 OKC is still a playoffs team without Shai. Lakers is not a playoffs team without Luka. I hope this gives you more clarity

      @bdon20104realBrother Bron has carried less to the playoffs before you are mentally challenged

    My thing is this. Just because your team doesnt have one player that puts up 60. Doesnt mean ypu dont deserve MVP. I still think Wemby deserves MVP. Not just because hes good.. but hes the factor that makes his whole team good and it is not his fault that he plays with other player who are just as hungry… Victor doesnt have to put up 60 to beat a team and honestly if he did he be taking away from others who can score. Its very hard to win an argument about it. Because the Spurs team is never playing so bad to where one person has the hot hand… put Luka on Spurs and hes not scoring 60 unless he hogs the ball… because its never necessary

    These commenters are traitors. They praise him so much when he does well like they always knew he’s great, but otherwise talk bad about him regularly, wth.

    This the last season SGA or Wemby will have at that MVP trophy after this season that trophy is all Luka for Years to come watch

    Luka is what AD should have been

    • @Dom2.0

      March 20, 2026 at 5:13 pm

      AD has one of the toughest rings in NBA history according to the players that actually were there AND probably should’ve won Finals MVP and as a Lakers fan I was shocked when they gave it to Bron so… there’s that

    Yall keep mentioning SGA defense over Luka like Steph wasn’t an unanimous MVP while Steve had to hide him on defense 😂

    REAL MVP LUKA

  25. @vieuxtine

    March 20, 2026 at 6:25 pm

    Luka’s never gonna be the MVP no matter what greatness he do, no mater how high he score in a game, because his white. Period. Team impact and stat wise, he is better than SGA.

    OKC’s roster is already stacked. SGA doesn’t have to carry the load in the 4th quarter because his teammates can handle their roles. Meanwhile, the Lakers’ bench has been inconsistent, which is why Luka has to play from start to finish to get wins. He makes plays, hits tough shots, and is the most double-teamed player this season. Now imagine putting that kind of burden on SGA, it’d be a whole different story.

    Give SGA an inconsistent bench like the Lakers had, and see how he performs. Luka has to exert maximum effort every game because he has to, while SGA benefits from a more balanced, reliable supporting cast. That’s why Luka’s assists and rebounds are higher than SGA, his teammates may be good, but he’s creating more opportunities out of necessity. SGA assist and rebounds are lower because their rooster is stacked. and their bench performs.

    Even though the Lakers have gotten themselves together recently, their bench struggled for months. That’s the key difference. Luka isn’t just scoring, he’s the engine of his team. His impact is bigger than SGA’s because he carries more of the load, every single night.

    Also, they all act as if Luka has no defense. Currently, luka has 1.6 steals per game, while SGA only has 1.4. SGA has 0.8 blocks per game and 0.6 for luka, Both are very close on those two stats,

    Luka has more turnovers and slightly lower in efficiency than SGA because he is the most doubled team player in the league per game / 1.54 per possession.

    He leads in scoring, he is better in assist and rebounds than SGA, but is never going to be the MVP because he is white.
