They are close in age. Both Top 2 PGs in the league.
Barring Injuries, they will be the Top 2 PG this decade presumably
They are also consistent MVP Candidates this decade. Just losing to Bigger Better players in Joker and Giannis. And Arguably Embiid too.
But speaking of MVP.
Who do you think will win MVP first? This decade.
How about FMVP?
Do you expect them to a standard tha both of them should win MVP or FMVP this decade to early 2030s?
SGA can truly win it this year especially with how crazy that Thunder roster is looking. I actually don’t know if Luka will get a MVP in his career because with the inevitable Wemby takeover, & the concern with his body, he’ll always be in talk but might never actually get it. I think like 2026-2027 season (random ik lmao) will be his best bet/his era to potentially take home a few. I can truly see anywhere between 0 & 3 with him. FMVP give me SGA again too.
And we don’t have any concern about wemby’s body ? I don’t get why everybody assumes it will be so easy for him to get the top spot so early. Guys like Ant, Shai, Luka are not even in their prime yet
Luka had a pretty notable injury going into the playoffs this past year that obviously got better (or maybe he just played through it better) but he looked rough movement wise. Pair that with the fact he is always playing basketball in the offseason & has been professional since like 16 It’s reasonable to say he won’t push for an MVP. I’m not saying he’ll miss a bunch of games every year, I’m more so saying he won’t go all out in the regular season.
The fact Luka got his team to 50 wins with a rookie center and his 2nd star missing 30 games while average 34/9/10 and came 3rd in MVP makes me suspect he can’t win one. Especially as last season he scored 73 points in one game, got the record for most consecutive 30 point triple doubles and the highest combined points + rebounds + assists since Kareem.
