Despite leading the league in scoring and heading the NBA's hottest team in the last 20 games, the MVP race seems locked up ... whether Mavs fans like it or not.organization, Mark Cuban, MFFLs, or those who cover Dallas, the answer seems to be a resounding yes. But, for some reason, it seems the MVP race has been locked up for months with no change in sight.
Doncic, however, leads the NBA in scoring by a comfortable margin , leads the NBA in 30-plus-point triple doubles , and is one-half of the dynamic duo featuring Kyrie Irving that has led Dallas to 15 wins in their last 16 games. The"Luka for MVP" train is coming fast down the tracks, however, with Cuban serving as the trains conductor. In the past few weeks, the former Mavericks governor has posted on X calling for Doncic to be named MVP nearly daily.
"Credit to Luka for the season he’s had. He’s a special player and I’m just excited to be able to play with him and watch his greatness each and every night. He’s the real MVP,” Washington said.
