Luka=MVP?

Luka Doncic has been on an absolute tear this 2026-27 NBA season, and he might finally win the coveted Most Valuable Player award.

After LeBron James left the Los Angeles Lakers, it was clear that it was now Luka Doncic’s team. 

With Doncic leading the charge, the Lakers sit at the top seed in the Western Conference, and the squad is absolutely clicking. 

Doncic is averaging an absurd stat line of 40.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game. 

He’s also shooting 49.8% from the field, 41.9% from three, and 87.3% from the free throw line. 

These are generational numbers, and Doncic has no reason to not finally win the MVP award, especially if LA finishes with a top record.

Dallas Maverick fans are still suffering over the pivotal trade that altered their franchise. 

Although Cooper Flagg is a superstar in the making, the absence of Luka magic is real.  

Other early MVP candidates include Victor Wembanyama, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Maxey, and Jayson Tatum. 

Luka is the face of the Los Angeles Lakers, and he is just another superstar in the linage of legends there. 

An MVP on top of an already stacked resume will cement him in history.
