Zach Lowe I think at the end of his Nikola Joki career if not already he's gonna be statistically and just like eye test better than Larry Bird better than Magic Johnson 1 ring in Denver is worth more than like a Lakers ring or whatever

Zach Lowe on the Top 3 MVP candidates I think Shai start to finish this is his MVP I do think Wemby has a real case I think hes made it to 2nd on my ballot over Jokic who continues to have these games where its What are these turnovers that youre having Its crazy

Zach Lowe on the Nuggets It does have the feel of sometimes it just doesn't come together It's on my radar it just might be the year it doesn't happen and I expected it to happen because there is legitimately a great team in here but sometimes you run out of time to find it

Nikola Joki gets animated while addressing his teammates at halftimesince that moment the Nuggets have outscored the Lakers

James Worthy is fired up postgame Historically The Lakers have had clutch players Kareem with the sky hook Magic with his play Kobe Shaq But I don't think we've ever had one as consistent and dominant as Luka Doncic

Tim Legler says Luka Doncic is the MVP Ive got him as the favorite It's 574 points per game direct offense from Luka scoring or assisting That is the most by any player in the history of this league He is basically responsible for half of the points the Lakers score This is historic stuff

Orlando head coach Jamahl Mosley Luka is having an MVP type year I think he's to me the front runner in that regard You're not gonna stop him with just one or two guys it's gotta be a 5-man job every time he's on the floor He understands the game gets his teammates involved the right way
