Despite the stacked opposition, Mavericks star Kyrie Irving believes that Luka Doncic should win MVP due to these intangibles.

Luka Doncic has been playing at such a high level throughout the 2023-24 NBA season, and the Dallas Mavericks, as a result, have put their disappointing 2022-23 campaign completely in the rearview mirror. Following the Mavericks’ 111-92 win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night that clinched the second 50-win campaign of Doncic’s career, the Slovenian superstar is now averaging 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists in 70 games this season — numbers that make him well-deserving of winning the Most Valuable Player award.
