If Luka Doncic hasn't won MVP yet, are we sure it's ever going to happen for him? Look what he's already done; in 2023-24, he averaged 33 / 9 / 9 and shot over 38% from the 3-point line. He finished No. 3 in MVP voting behind Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Certainly, those two guys were deserving (and continue to be deserving, as it looks like they will battle for the award pretty much every year).
But Doncic was never even given a chance in that race, and despite leading the hottest team in the NBA over the past few weeks, it seems like he's not getting a chance in this year's race, either.
