A former NBA player has highlighted one crucial aspect that Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic needs to adjust in order to enhance his chances of winning the MVP title. Despite Doncic’s remarkable performance, including extending his triple-double streak to seven consecutive games against the Chicago Bulls, there remains a key area for improvement.
Doncic’s failure to achieve his first 30-point triple-double in six games didn’t diminish his impact, as he still managed to contribute 27 points with impressive efficiency. Throughout the season, Doncic has been a consistent presence in MVP discussions, with many fans considering him the frontrunner for the award. Currently leading the league in scoring with an average of 34.6 points per game, Doncic’s statistical prowess is undeniable.
However, despite his remarkable individual achievements, Doncic has faced challenges in gaining serious consideration for the MVP honor from voters. Factors such as team performance often influence MVP selections, and the Mavericks’ record of 37-28 could potentially detract from Doncic’s candidacy. Additionally, there may be other reasons contributing to his exclusion from MVP conversations.
Eddie Johnson, a former NBA player, recently shared his perspective on why some voters may be hesitant to support Doncic for MVP. Johnson noted Doncic’s tendency to engage in disputes with referees, which could impact his likability among voters and media. Furthermore, Doncic has accumulated a significant number of technical fouls in a given season, which could further detract from his candidacy for the MVP award.
