As a pacer fan he was my favorite player. Pure dominance and most consistent player in the NBA.

Well, I think a part of the All-Star snubs is the more competitive pool of great players in the Western Conference. Nevertheless, he is a great play and he is not even 25(?) so he is just entering his physical prime all while his understanding of the game and its dynamics further improves.

Kings fan here. Sabonis was playing with a broken hand since December/January of that year season I think? I forget when exactly but he chose not to get surgery cause the Kings were finally playing well. You could tell it took a toll in the playoffs. He was missing so many shots he usually makes. Still, we don't know if the Kings would even be in the playoffs had he taken the time off to recover. Dude is so unselfish. Sadly, the lack of national coverage on the Kings meant no one outside of Sacramento would ever really know much about his injury.

Kings were 2:0 in a series. But warriors is more experienced team and adjusted their game. After that scuffle with Green I had a bad feeling it will go south. Warriors took out Red velvet and physically bullied Sabonis. Remember that elbow jump ball? I think it was an order to foul him and put constant physical pressure, especially on a home court where whistle often was silent… Mentally Kings were not ready. Will see how it goes this year.

If he was on any other team, then he would have recognition, but since his chest says kings, everyone straight ignores him.

Domas is underrated but I wouldn't say he is a disrespected MVP candidate. That would be Luka. Dude is on a historic run, the likes of Westbrook and harden, is average nearly a 30+ point triple double and is BELOW Tatum and sga in the ranking, who are just on better built teams. That seems criminal to me.

You are exactly on point. Luka should have been an MVP earlier, but most definitely this year, with him being also the scoring champion. With the 9 run winstreak they are on right now, maybe he earns some more respect as that was the only thing ever the haters could hold over him, that his team wasn't winning enough. Still, I would take Luka over any player in the playoffs, especially if you have Kyrie as a second, probably the most creative and most clutch guard in the league.

LUKA (as I said) is a nearly a triple double. If I remember correctly he is averaging 34, 9 and 9. SGA is 30, 5 and 6. On A team that is remarkably doing good now. SGA has Tatum numbers. Here lies a fundamental problem that the NBA has. Do you give MVP to the best player on the best team or to the best player over all. If it is best player overall? then LUKA easily wins.

Oh, that's so sad. Good but not good good:))))))))) I bet he feels happy, sleeps weel, eats fine food and loves basketball, just like his dad! Who gives a shit about getting MVP??? Obviously Jokic doesn't and no surprise. Those who care are locals, you can see it, you can feel it, you can smell it. Outside the USA, there's completely different approach to the game from childhood. You don't need a three letter combination to be self-confident and to know who you are and what are you capable of. MVP title ain't any proof at all that you are the best, there' s allways gonna be somebody who' s better, faster or even more beautiful than yourself. Tell me that the very best players get's to the All-star game:)))))))))))) It's not the 90's NBA anymore!!!!!!!!
