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?
One of them will get it this season if either of their teams get the 1 seed. OKC getting back to back 1st seeds would be enough for Shai, especially if his point average is in the 28-30 range. Luka will put up his typical monster numbers, so it’ll just be about if he can sustain them. The head to head games will also play a big key in who the media will vote for as well.
You think Nba Media Voters are done voting for the Generational Modern Big Men (Joker, Giannis, Embiid)?
So, it is either Luka or SGA now?
