He is top 5. We’re comparing apples and oranges when you want to compare the top 5. we honestly have too much talent these days to have a clear best player.

Yes and it’s really not even close

Luka is #1, because on top of his insane skill level he has: – MJ / Kobe levels of will to win – Ice in his veins at all times – The most responsibility for the team’s success as primary ball handler and play caller – he makes more decisions per game than the others, and the consequences of his decisions have more impact (positive and negative) on a game’s outcome
Don’t get me wrong, I think the gap between him and Jokic is extremely narrow, which is why I’m talking in terms of intangibles – they’re what give him the edge.
ZeroSarkThirty
Yup.

He’s better than I am.

Yes, I think this postseason run has proven that

Its btw Luka and Jokic for me

I would say he is. He’s undisputedly the best if he wins the finals. If not, there’s a discussion to be had if he’s the best. At absolute worst, he’s 2nd

Luka Magic #1 no dispute will be possible after he cooks the finals
fishystixxx007
Yes. Next question.

He should have been MVP this year and with a championship and a decent season next year, they’ll probably give it to him to make up for it.

No doubt!

YES AND BY ALOT
rds2mch2
Yes but his durability is looking dicey.
Spzmk
No way. He is only ranked #4 out of players under 25, he couldn’t be the best?!
Dfrmdabeach7
He’s absolutely the best in the world but this finals series could make him immortal and undeniable
riff-raff-jesus
No
UsefulImprovement762
Yes.

No, it’s still Jokic. I’m as big of a Luka stan as any of us but I’m still going with the guy who has won 3 of the past 4 MVPs (and arguably should’ve won that fourth one too). Luka’s maybe the best player in the world at this very moment, but let’s take the MFFL glasses off for a second and acknowledge that Jokic still has the edge

The answer is Yes. This wouldn’t have been my answer last year but as of now, yes.

no

I’m the biggest Luka Stan but I feel Jokic still has the nod. If the Mavs win it all I will see them as 1a 1b
But there’s no one I’d rather have than Luka in a context like now.
