The 2022-23 NBA season is almost upon us, but Hot Take SZN is here, and at the end of another eventful offseason we will see how close to the sun we can fly and still stand the swelter of these viewpoints.
With his third selection to the All-NBA first team before his 24th birthday, Dallas Mavericks sensation Luka Doncic joined Kevin Durant and Tim Duncan as the only players in modern history to accomplish that feat.
It would take a superhuman season from Jokic to win a third consecutive MVP award this season. Only Larry Bird has won three straight since players stopped voting in 1980. There is a reason Antetokounmpo finished fourth in 2021 after winning in 2019 and 2020, despite another monster season for the NBA's top regular season team .
The question is how hard the Milwaukee Bucks want to ride Antetokounmpo. They eased into their title defense last season, and it cost them a home Game 7 in an early playoff exit. It also did not prevent Khris Middleton from missing the Eastern Conference semifinals with a knee injury or requiring offseason wrist surgery that still has him sidelined.
A double-digit assist average would put both the league's assist crown and a triple-double average in play for Doncic. He averaged 28.4 points , 9.1 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game last season and did not even arrive to training camp in shape. Once he recovered from an early ankle injury and exited COVID-19 protocols in January, he averaged a 30-10-9 on 46/37/76 splits over the final four months of the regular season, as Dallas posted a 35-12 record .
