Announcing Best NBA Player ESPY Award winner + A surprise from Paige Bueckers! | NBA Today

[@plavalaguna950]

Luka deserve MVP!

[@NickXxx-q9f]

Lmao

[@neoskittlesgaming5195]

Lacking defence too much. He’s a liability. Offence is only half of the game. I disagree with this take

[@r.lr.l]

@@neoskittlesgaming5195 1. He really isn't y'all letting a hobbled and exhuasted Luka dictate how you see him. This was literally his worst playoff performance in his career by far and he was still decent. 2. Other Players like Curry and Magic have won MVPs and Championships yet were targeted on defense just as much 3. Luka by all metrics is about league average on defense when healthy and or not forced to carry the entire offensive load go look at the clippers series when Kyrie was going crazy 4. The defensive impact of stars that aren't Wemby is greatly overrated go look at what happened to the Celtics in 22' or wolves this year smart offensive guys will just attack whatever mismatch is on the floor unless you're built like boston you probably have multiple.

[@MavDon-qc9tc]

@@neoskittlesgaming5195this is such a casual take. You say this after just 1 bad defensive series but yall was quiet when he was playing good defense every series before 😂

[@OCLProductionz]

@@neoskittlesgaming5195 For those still saying the BS narrative that Luka has no defense. Luka’s actually "GOOD” at defense before the injuries piled up and got too much. If you watch Mavs Ball yk He was playing the best defense of his life this season and in the Clippers/OKC series that guys were 2/17 fg when guarded by Luka. All I can say to all Ignorants out there is that expect a focused and determined Healthy Luka at both defense & offense next season💯😤🫵

[@iaskquestions]

bravo NBA Today for doing this for Gabby great job Malika 👌

[@Mdksupreme1]

malika didn't do shi, stop the degenerate d riding

[@cryptidian3530]

That's my real MVP!

[@atepatty6216]

Yeah!!! Luka is indeed.

[@docmemphis2760]

lets be honest luka is the best player in the regular season and the playoffs

[@dragonmaster909]

Yep

[@msharma8345]

Last year ​@matheeus-qw6ue

[@johnmojo131]

@matheeus-qw6ue you need a reading comprehension LMAO

[@OCLProductionz]

Luka literally is the PERFECT Superstar. He’s an alltimer with no ceiling but also Super marketable, Super Popular, relatable personality, shines in big moments, aura, killer mentality, trash talking you name it. he is the Face of the League going into next Season😤💯💯 For those still saying the BS narrative that Luka has no defense. Luka’s actually "GOOD” at defense before the injuries piled up and got too much. If you watch Mavs Ball yk He was playing the best defense of his life this season and in the Clippers/OKC series that guys were 2/17 fg when guarded by Luka. All I can say to all Ignorants out there is that expect a focused and determined Healthy Luka at both defense & offense next season💯😤🫵

[@rogelioharms7338]

Luka is the best player in the NBA and is not that close! You can make the case for Joker, that’s it. Like or not.

[@shalawndillon4525]

Although the Mavs lost at the 2024 NBA Finale. Luka deserves it!

[@mattimeikalainen1635]

Luka is HIM

[@dragonmaster909]

Luka Doncic 🔥

[@DONPETERSON-f3j]

PAIGE RULES

[@vipmeeurope]

Both can teach SAS how to pronounce the surname Dončić.

[@MrRadwint19]

As a mavs fan..proud of luka

[@doenerking92]

She really nailed the job!

[@tomazroses6022]

They know he was robed for MVP.. 🇸🇮 🇸🇮

[@brentduffey]

how does this guy not come in 1st or 2nd in MVP votes? Blind voters! @nba @espn

[@Freshkid57]

Paige B. Is beautiful and she got game🥵

[@Gmoney4184]

Luka wont care about MVP next year. Im here for it.

[@atepatty6216]

Why is it that Luka and this award was not part of the actual awarding night? I wonder.🤔

[@invisobill2125]

Because Luka was overseas from Olympic ball and travelling and couldn’t attend the ESPYs so they did it this way rather then have a silly live announcement for it to have him not walk up to receive the award.

[@atepatty6216]

@@invisobill2125 but one of the awardees had a video. I am guessing Luka did not want to do the video thing.

[@invisobill2125]

@@atepatty6216 yeah he has no interest in that, he’s not American, just made sense to let it pass if he didn’t care. He definitely earned the award though, he was the best player this season. Crazy that it took the ESPYs for him to finally be recognized as the best player.

[@rubbishrabble]

Maybe he wanted to Make A Wish. It could be her backup wish. She pronounced his name. That is rare.

[@richardSmith-ym5xu]

Jamal Murray, Kawhi Leonard, Jayson Tatum All the GOATS have set the standard and won a ring by their 7th season (minimum 10 games played) Who will be next.....

[@OCLProductionz]

@@richardSmith-ym5xu luka next season pretty much guaranteed

[@Mdksupreme1]

The disrespect to Luka, having malika and a make-a-wish kid announce his award, no wonder why he didn't bother attending or even sending a video

[@invisobill2125]

Lukas always being disrespected. The dude had a GOAT season and got third in MVP voting, hard to find much worse disrespect than that.

[@klemziusklm7248]

Oh its not Ant what a suprise ahahaha

[@diamondsharkentertainment7327]

❤

[@KrayzieRoach]

luka dont care about some spare award

[@jualeo1223]

👏👏

[@azaiahreacts]

I thought this girl was Mckenna Grace😅

[@djomoyann7972]

Jokic does not deserve to be 3X MVP.. after Nash that’s the worst mvp. Luka is more versatile

[@dr6507]

Malika, can i get a date 😍

[@troychriscarretas2657]

Make a Wish Girl has No Reaction to Everything 😊

[@patriksweden9203]

Congrats @luka7doncic !!!

[@nashevans3266]

[@lisacasement5415]

[@zhanehhylton6868]

Bruh shut up man sga played defense why didnt he make the nba finals goofy shut up dumbass. Like i said you a sheep luka is a average defender you hating for no reason loser

[@mark71003]

Luka has proven in this year's playoffs that he is a defensive player. Go watch the game, idiot.

[@TheAkiles87]

[@theoneabovethou9601]

And you wonder why a majority of people are idiots like this one in the comment section. Lisa the idiot

[@devonsolomon4153]
