His inprovement curve is greater why because he was a nobody. Give your head a shake
Shai has been good, but acknowledge Luka has two bad knees, a bad back, and a sprained ankle, but he’s still playing. Giannis, Dame, Zion, Kawhi, Donovan, KP, Jimmy missed playoff games, Luka hasn’t missed one game with all those injuries. That’s a true MVP.

SAS is so delusional, he doesn’t even realize he just made the case for Doncic being an MVP type player over Alexander. It’s not just about 50 games over 30 points, it’s about leadership, facilitation, playmaking, rebounding, making your teammates better, all of the things that Doncic and Jokic do for their teams.

Personally, my pick was Luka for MVP.. I thought he had the best “wow factor” individual season.. I thought SGA had the best season for leadership, overall consistency and defensive prowess.. and Jokic was the easiest to vote for - same great stats as before, defending champ, people think he was robbed last season, etc. People have different criteria..

I like speed and agressivenss like Jordan and Kobe. As for Luka, no one not in a team with the best three records in the NBA should be considerd for MVP. I know they've given it to someome as low as the 6th seed like Westbrook, and that was an atrocity. Mr. Racist, race was your only factor as to why SAS would have the opinion he has as opposed to the merits of his choice. Yes. Bronson over Luka becuase of thier teams records.

Great show.
One of the most reasonable takes from SAS I've ever heard. He's totally right - the Mavs as a team are benefitting from Luka's gravity, while OKC has not benefitted from Shai's -- and looked like the lesser team outside of Game 1 and the last few minutes of Game 4 even with Luka hobbled. Add in being away and comparative inexperience and an OKC collapse in Game 6 is extremely likely. If they survive Game 6, all bets are off on Game 7.
Luka was the best player this reg. season and will go to the cfinals vs jokic the best player overall in the world. Sad times for sas seeing 2 white european guys eliminate his face of the league and mvp hahaha
I love how all these reporters and "NBA analysts" leave my man Luka out these conversations! Lol there all in awe that Shai averaged 30 this season and that's all they keep saying. Luka has basically almost averaged a 30 point triple double the last FEW seasons! Yet you never hear talk about him. They act like Shai is the greatest thing since sliced bread but Luka has BEEN doing this and is younger than Shai.
I must say Stephen A. is bang on point on this one! The real impact of Luka Doncic is the fact that none of us are talking about Kyrie Irving needing to do more for the Mavs to Win. That's the sign of leadership and greatness!

Him and edwards are getting this much heat because the media wants to hype them as the greatest thing since sliced bread and ignore jokic and luka

I think everyone is just butthurt… especially Luka fans.. (not even Dallas fans) I’m a Denver fan but it’s obviously not Shai’s fault he’s out playing Luka and Kyrie and is the most consistent Superstar in the playoffs even more than Brunson (nothing against him but I feel like Luka/Shai/Ant/ and Jokic can drop 40 pieces on the Pacers lol) But I’m not to ignorant to admit that Shai has been balling. He’s insanely efficient, but the team is cracking under the pressure, so Shai out there by himself tbh. Jokic just got blown out but his guys are proven to be ready for game 7 and show up. Okc win or lose overachieved this year, and there’s nothing wrong with that
Luka the greatest player the game has ever seen
Stephen “At this particular moment in time” A Smith
When healthy, Luka drops 40, 50, 60, 70 point games. Shai is great for his consistent 30 piece though.
Luka or SGA? Answer: Kyrie

Nah, with Clippers yes, with OKC No.
SHAI IS OLDER THEN LUKA BUT APPARENTLY ONLY ONE IS YOUNG
Why they keep saying Shai’s future when Luka is younger lol In fact, they gloss over the fact that the Mavs aren’t even that much older outside of like 2 players in the rotation and Kyrie😂

Then why did you pick SGA for MVP? Makes no sense
Luka has been a better defender than SGA in this series. The Mavs are a better team. I’d rather take Kyrie or Luka over SGA in the clutch.
Shai ain't nothing but a 2.0 James harden
SAS just explained why his pick in Shai was terrible. Doesn’t bring the type of value a jokic or Luka do.
lol, why people acting like SGA is 3 years younger than Luka. They the same draft class, and same age. Luka actually months younger. The defender can't event stare at SGA, they'll get called a foul
You picked Shai for MVP and now you pick Luka for game 6? Get it together man
It's let it done Saturday...ima be in the building
Lmao is someone mowing in the studio ?
Voting for somebody who was statistically behind Luka makes no sense lol
Guys you act like SGA is a rookie. He is 25 just like Luka😂
Jokic VS Luka is the most wanted thing in basketball right now :) Go Nuggs, Go Mavs!
Did SAS just complimented Luka and said he elevates his teammates a lot better than Shai can? wow
SGA is a nice player , but I know if I can see that he pushes off with his off hand , everyone can see it . They say he stops on a dime and gets to his spot , noooo , lol he stops and pushes off and extends with his off arm.
They do know that Shai is older than Luka right, there making it seem like this dude is 21 years old.
Steven A finally waking up to what everyone in comment section has been saying for months LUKA MVP he's been doing what Steven A described religiously to end the season 16-18 Run. Nobody in comment section said SHAY FOR MVP THEY ALLLL SAID LUKA MVP. Steven A was obviously on another planet and he just.arrived back to earth just before watching game 5
Lou dort doesn't play good defense. He just fouls non stop knowing the refs won't call it each time he holds and hugs luka. I am surprised he hasn't blown in his ear yet when he wraps his arms around him knowing that is the only chance is to cheat to stop Luka LOL
Luka doncic regular season stats 34 points 9 rebounds 10 assists First in 40 point games First 30 point triple double First in points and threes

Those are facts. Whats wrong with you?
I thought sga and ant were meant to be in a collision course 🤣
sas literally just proved why Luka should be mvp but he voted for shai
That's because there's nothing wrong with him . He isn't hurt !!
Best quote of SGA - that was a foul 😂
It’s just so weird how the entire nba media actively avoids talking about the most obvious occurrence in the nba over the last 3 seasons and that is that Doncic is easily the second best player in the world behind Jokic.
Fun fact Luka is younger than SGA.
SAS only picking Luka at this point over his beloved SGA cause he knows his picks always jinx everybody... Just ask the Timberwolves
Stephen A's whole narrative has changed in just 1 week lmao.
Luka better than SGA

One of the most serious, interesting and insightful First Take segments in Stephen A.'s long career, he broke it down magnificently, he is absolutely spot on on every point he brought up, he didn't try to be controversial or clownish with his usual childish immature takes, it was perfectly balanced with a little bit of comedy sprinkled in there, that's the old school Stephen A that we used to love, he is smart and knows his basketball, I don't get why he constantly tries to be funny and controversial, he gave a perfectly complete analysis about the Dallas Mavericks, it's a shame that Luka is hobbled and Kleber is out for the season, otherwise i could see Dallas giving the Nuggets a run for their money. P.S: Tim Legler is the GOAT.
Luka Doncic just juggled it all. He drilled threes, assisted and rebounded as if it was his last game in the nba playoff.
Do they tell each other what their answers would be before the show starts? Like do they distribute the "roles": you will pick X, you will pick Y, I will pick Y too...
MR Steven “I’m Alaways wrong” smith
Don’t even have to watch to know that Stephen A is choosing the North American player.
